A Monzo account means...

Modern banking, in your pocket. No branch queues, no hidden charges, no complex language. Just award-winning products and innovative features that make managing your money feel like a breath of fresh air.

A fully licensed UK bank

Monzo Bank Limited is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.

Simple ways to pay and get paid

Send and receive money in just a few taps. There's no need to share your bank details (or have those awkward 'pay-me-back' conversations).

24/7 customer support

Our in app chat is managed by friendly humans ready to answer your questions, any time, any place.

Loans and overdrafts

We offer loans up to £25,000 and overdrafts up to £2,000. You can check if you're eligible without affecting your credit score.

Interest on your savings

Earn 3.35% AER (variable) paid monthly with an Instant Access Savings Pot. There’s no minimum deposit, and you can access your money anytime.

Trends balance shown on Monzo app

Spending insights you'll actually use

Instant notifications tell you how much you’ve spent and where, so you’re in the know wherever you go.

Spending categories sort your payments, giving you a crystal clear overview of what you’re spending on.

Direct Debits no longer feel lost – we’ll tell you if they’re about to change before they’re due.

Bigger picture banking

Whether it’s zooming into your day-to-day spend, or setting longer-term savings goals for summer plans, Monzo makes it easy to stay on track.

Automate the admin

Use our Salary Sorter to instantly move some of your earnings into Bills Pots, Savings Pots, or even ‘new house plants’ Pots.

See your money in a whole new light

Get to know your spending habits with weekly and monthly insights. And get alerts if you’re spending too fast (if you want them).

Put money aside with Pots

Use Pots to separate your money however you like – whether you're budgeting for bills or setting aside spending money for a holiday.

Group spending that just makes sense

Replace awkward ‘pay-me-back’ texts with secure payment requests, and send reminders if you need to. Set up Shared Tabs for group spending, so you’re always on top of who owes what.

Your Monzo account, on holiday

No more fees

Open a Monzo account and pay anywhere, in any currency, free-free – on your debit or credit card.

Free ATM withdrawals

If Monzo's your main bank account, make unlimited fee-free withdrawals in the European Economic Area (EEA), and up to £200 every 30 days anywhere else. After that, we'll charge 3%.

We do the maths (on exchange rates)

Understand exactly what you're spending by seeing real-time exchange rates when you spend abroad.

International transfers in partnership with Wise

Transfer money to your friends and family within the Monzo app through Wise.

It’s typically lower cost than Western Bank, MoneyGram and Zoom, as well as high street banks.

In-app customer support

24/7 customer support

Our friendly customer support team is always available to chat in the Monzo app. We don't have opening or closing hours, so we're here wherever you need us.

Industry-first tech built to protect

We’re stopping scammers in their tracks with innovative security controls. Use known locations, a secret QR code or trusted contacts to confirm it’s you making large payments.

Our Call Status feature tells you if you’re speaking to Monzo in real time. It helps customers report over 700 fraud attempts each month.
