How we support people with ADHD

If you have ADHD, you can feel restless, you may have trouble concentrating and can act on impulse - which can all make managing your money difficult.

We worked with YouGov to commission a survey of people living with ADHD across the UK. The majority (60%) of people told us it directly impacts their financial lives because of issues with money management, costing them on average an estimated £1,600 per year.

Notifications

Enable notifications to get balance updates, including how much you have left to spend this month. You will also get notifications about upcoming payments so you budget ahead of time.

Budgeting and Pots

Use Pots to set money aside automatically using Salary Sorter. This gives you better oversight of where your money is and what it’s for.

Turn off borrowing offers

You can turn off borrowing offers so you don’t get notifications about borrowing you might be eligible for.

We can also make adjustments to your account to make banking with us easier, like:

Turning off borrowing entirely

If you struggle with impulsive spending, you can opt out of borrowing.

Reducing your spending limits

We can set you custom daily limits for ATM withdrawals, bank transfers and card transactions.

Adding a note to your account

We can add a note to your account with the ways your ADHD impacts how you manage money. You won't need to repeat yourself whenever you talk to us.

You can reach out through Share with us about any support you may need from Monzo. We’ll follow up with you about how we can help.
