Monzo / Mondo / Revolut banking

Do they have one yet? I think they were waiting on the current account / sort code functionality as of a few weeks ago

the few times I have managed to do that its been by myself in a spreadsheet. Its very time consuming to keep a track of everything. especially when I used to get cash out a lot, luckily i dont do that so much anymore.

Btw I have a golden ticket if anyone wants it?

Current accounts have started rolling out as an option for early sign ups. again it'll be a staggered/phased roll out apparently so they can manage demand properly.

Cant find where I had read that, it might have been in one of the links on the previous page.

Current acc's are iOS only though right?

no, initially it was but thats been expanded already. I had to google the answer

I was in the White Horse on Parsons Green (the Sloaney Pony) and about half of the people paying seemed to be using these cards. I was pondering if it's the new form of pocket money, parents load up the cards for their kids to spend.

Do the current accounts offer any advantages over a traditional bank? The main selling point for me with the card is the lack of fees for overseas transactions but the majority of banks don't charge for a current account.

From what I can see, no. Aside from speed of sign up and instant notification of spend, alongside better customer experience I cant see any benefit, I wont be signing up for what would be my 6th current account anytime soon...

That sounds like something you should be able to do - did you venture into the forum? (their one, not this one)

Question, I do a bit of overseas travel for work, and have recently starting getting work to put funds for shoots and my per diems onto a personal account which means I get charged a percentage for every overseas transaction and withdrawal, I'm wondering whether monzo or revolut or maybe a Halifax clarity card would be best for foreign transactions (no fee for overseas usage), apologies if this question has been answered previously..

Revolut currently doesn't charge for card transactions, cash withdrawal is limited to £200 a month but no charge.

Halifax Clarity - no charge for card transactions, interest charge for cash withdrawals. It's a credit card so will have a credit limit (although theoretically in the thousands I'd expect).

Monzo - currently doesn't charge for card transactions, cash withdrawal is possibly limited (maybe £1,000 a month, the website isn't very clear) but no charge.

Actually, these are the Monzo limits, they're on the app

If you still have it, I would be interested!

Unfortunately not anymore. A colleague at work snaffled it up.

No worries, it was a long shot ;)

I used the link posted above somewhere about two weeks ago and got the card 2 days later. No need for a golden ticket

I did try that but to no avail, cheers though

Got a few golden tickets if anyone wants.

Also just discovered this link is still working:

The stupid verification video nearly made me abandon the whole thing

yes please

Pm me your email.

done, cheers

Anyone need a golden ticket?

I used the link @Indexed posted above and worked fine. Got the card in two days, no need for golden ticket!

Got a current account invite :)

(I just expressed an interest when they asked a few months back. Spent about 6k on the prepaid since Jan, if they use length of service or spend to pick people)

Yeah its a bit strange this golden ticket lark, I just signed up via their website and got the card a day or so later. Not sure what benefit it brings.
