UK residents. Ts&Cs apply.
With every tap of a Monzo
You were writing the story of your year. The bargain buys, the coffee runs, the end-of-week treats: they all added up to a tale worth telling. But what did we get up to as a nation? Here’s the epic journey of Monzo customers.
Insights come from the spending data of millions of Monzo customers and cover the UK’s major cities.
The Lore of Labubu
The number of people shopping at Pop Mart was up by 52% compared to 2024. No wonder the the nation was overrun by tiny, chaotic critters.
Not all was lost...or binned
Across the UK, people spent £210 million on resale sites like Vinted and Depop – an increase of 13% since 2024. Their quest? Scrolling for treasures (and bargain trainers).
Lidl did we know...
The most epic part of the nation’s story wasn’t the beginning or end. It was the middle (aisles), where people scavenged for those absolutely don’t need, but must buys.
When it came to the cities, Manchester went especially mad for Aldi, with over a million transactions.
A tale as old as time
Yet again Londoners spurned the sausage roll. The capital remained the only city in the UK that preferred a posh pickle to a steak slice, spending more at Pret than Greggs.
Newcastle, you almost made it to a million Gregg’s transactions. We salute you for staying loyal to your hometown hero.
Late night legends
London dethroned Liverpool as the city with the most late night spending. Even after the clock struck 12, Londoners got another round in at the local Slug & Lettuce.
