Spending insights you'll actually use

We give you the tools to feel confident and in control, taking the stress out of spending.

Instant notifications tell you how much you've spent and where you've spent it, before the receipt's even printed. So you're in the know, wherever you go.

Spending categories sort your payments into groups, giving you a crystal clear overview of what you're spending money on each month.

Direct Debits no longer feel lost – we’ll let you know if they’re going to change before they’re due, so there’s no nasty surprises. 

Bigger picture banking

Whether it’s zooming into your day-to-day spend, or setting longer-term savings goals for summer plans, Monzo makes it easy to stay on track.

Automate the admin

Use our Salary Sorter to instantly move some of your earnings into Bills Pots, Savings Pots, or even ‘new house plants’ Pots.

See your money in a whole new light

Get to know your spending habits with weekly and monthly insights. And get alerts if you’re spending too fast (if you want them).

Put money aside with Pots

Use Pots to separate your money however you like – whether you're budgeting for bills or setting aside spending money for a holiday.

Group spending that just makes sense

Replace awkward ‘pay-me-back’ texts with secure payment requests, and send reminders if you need to. Set up Shared Tabs for group spending, so you’re always on top of who owes what.
