15 million customers in the UK bank with Monzo

Questions? Answers.

Monzo? What is Monzo?

We're the bank that makes you feel differently about your money. We're new to Ireland but more than 15 million customers trust us with their money in the UK. 

When we started out in 2015 we made it our mission to make money work for everyone. And that's exactly what we're here to do in Ireland.

Is Monzo really free?

It really is. A Monzo current account is completely free, with no sneaky maintenance fees, ATM withdrawal fees or foreign exchange fees.

Is Monzo a real bank?

Yes! We're a regulated Irish bank with an office in Dublin, an Irish banking licence, local Irish IBANs. We're authorised and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland and part of the Deposit Guarantee Scheme, which means your eligible deposits are protected up to €100k.

Is Monzo safe?

Absolutely, we're a licensed bank that's authorised and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland and part of the Deposit Guarantee Scheme, which means your eligible deposits are protected up to €100k.

We have an office in Dublin and although we're new to Ireland we have 15 million customers in the UK already.

Our industry-first security controls for large payments – like trusted contacts, QR code scanning and known locations – are just a few ways we’re protecting you and your money. Plus things you might already be familiar with, like card freezing if your card gets lost or stolen, and fingerprint or facial recognition to approve online shopping and getting into your Monzo app.

Does Monzo offer savings?

We do, and not just any savings either. We have the best free Instant Access Savings rate in Ireland right now for personal bank accounts and business bank accounts.

Earn 1.6% AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) variable interest on your savings, paid monthly and subject to DIRT (Deposit Interest Retention Tax).

How is Monzo different?

We're different in loads of ways. 

By solving your problems, treating you fair and square and being totally transparent, we can make banking better. Banking that keeps your money safe and really helps your savings grow. Banking that’s there when you need it and not just when we’re open. Banking that’s so much more than a snazzy app for payments. 

We don’t think you should have to pay fees for day-to-day banking, either. Which is why we have free accounts for you, your business, your better half, your little (and not so little) ones.

How do I contact Monzo?

Speak to a real-life human if something urgent comes up. We're available through in-app chat when you need us.
