Using an Under 16s Monzo card abroad

You can use the card anywhere Mastercard is accepted, fee-free. We pass Mastercard’s exchange rate directly on to you, without hidden fees or mark-ups, and we won’t block the card if it’s used abroad.

Cash withdrawals abroad

Under-16s have the same allowance as adults — €300 fee-free every 30 days. A 2.5% fee applies once the allowance is used.

Things to remember

  • Spending limits stay the same abroad as in Ireland

  • ATMs may charge their own fees, which we don’t receive

  • Always choose to pay or withdraw in local currency to avoid ATM mark-ups

Only the parent or guardian can review or change these limits.To check or adjust them:

  1. Open the Under-16s account in your Monzo app

  2. Tap the three dots on your child’s card

  3. Select Spending limits
