Troubleshooting PIN recovery

If you're having trouble completing a PIN recovery, here are some steps to try.

  • Check permissions: Check that your microphone and camera permissions for the Monzo app are enabled in your device settings.

  • Reinstall the app: Try deleting and reinstalling the app. Make sure to turn your phone and WiFi off for five minutes before trying again.

Selfie video and ID tips:

To make sure your PIN recovery is approved, please check that:

  • The selfie video is well lit, shows your entire face, and is not a recording of a video.

  • Your ID photo is clear, well-lit, not a photocopy, and shows an ID that has not expired.

If your phone's front camera is broken, you can log in on another device to record the video.
