With (almost) everything you get as an adult

You’ll get a Hot Coral debit card, instant spending notifications, and 24/7 in-app support. We’ve just blocked spending for things you can’t do if you’re under 18, like gambling. You can’t get an overdraft, but we won’t charge you if you accidentally go overdrawn.

Spend with friends

Without the stress. Split the bill in the app, or send a Monzo.me link. No need to chase – we can do that for you with payment reminders.

Pots for the things you want

Name them what you like. Save for what you want. Put money aside in Pots for your favourite things, whether it’s holiday spending or an iced coffee fund.

A flexible way to save

No need to lock away your savings. Earn 3.85% AER interest (variable) on Instant Access Savings, and withdraw whenever you need to.

Get paid early

Nothing hits quite like your first paycheck – especially if it’s a day early. Get your salary paid into your Monzo account by Bacs and we'll send it one business day early.

Take Monzo on holiday

Free yourself from fees

Pay abroad with no fees. We pass Mastercard’s exchange rate directly onto you, without sneaky fees or extra charges. So no need to get cash out before you go.

Stay in the know

Understand exactly what you're spending by seeing the real-time exchange rates in the app when you pay with your card abroad.

Make free cash withdrawals

If Monzo's your main bank account, we’ll let you make unlimited fee-free cash withdrawals abroad in the European Economic Area (EEA), and up to £200 every 30 days for free outside the EEA. After that, we’ll charge 3%. Some ATMS may have additional charges.
