Opening a Monzo personal account
Opening a Monzo account is simple and should take less than 10 minutes once you have the app.
Here's what you need to do:
Get your ID ready: You’ll need to be 18 or over and have a valid, unexpired photo ID. The ID we accept depends on your nationality:
If you’re a Spanish citizen: DNI
If you’re a citizen of an EU/EEA/Swiss country other than Spain: national ID card issued by your own country or passport
If you’re a citizen of a non-EU/EEA/Swiss country: TIE or passport
If your ID is damaged: Make sure the information and photo are still clearly visible. If we can’t clearly read the required information, we may not be able to accept the document.
Download the Monzo app: Search for "Monzo" in the App Store or Google Play and download it to your phone.
Tell us about yourself: When you open the app, we'll ask for some basic information like your home address, email, and phone number. We'll also ask a few questions about your occupation and how you plan to use the account.
Confirm your identity: We'll ask you to take a photo of your ID and record a short selfie video to confirm your identity.
Choose Your Account: Browse the different account options we offer and choose the one that's right for you.
Activate Your Card: Once your new card arrives, follow the instructions in the app to activate it. You'll then be ready to start spending, saving, and managing your money with Monzo.
