Pots: saving and managing money

A Pot is a place in your account where you can set money aside from your main balance. You can give it a name, photo, and savings goal to help keep your money organised.

Types of Pots

  • Regular Pots don’t earn interest and are useful for things like bills, holidays, or budgeting

  • Instant Access Savings Pots can earn interest at the rate shown in the app

  • Collection Pots let you collect money from other people for things like birthdays, trips, meals or group purchases. You can invite people in Monzo or share a link so others can contribute.
