Very good account

I like this account used everyday they like to block your account now and again for Sercruity checks they say first time it happend was when I got a payment from Insurace after my car was written off took about a week to unblock asking me to provide details and documents at the same time someone did fraud as I had no access account was block but someone made 1800 ASOS purchase and few hundred on Uber
I could see from the pinging message every minute but could not do anything as It was blocked I called all the company’s an got the money back as Monese was not talking calls
Only emails which took time for them to respond or deal with the issue since then everything has been running smooth touch wood
Blocked me for a day recently but unblocked me within the next morning so still happy an would consider this account

Hi there - thanks for your review and really sorry to hear about your experience! You can lock your card in-app whenever you don't plan on using it in order to avoid unauthorised payments. You can find more details on how to stay safe here: monese.com/keep-safe-from-fraud

Terrible Security System

I opened this account for the purpose of bringing all my spendings to one single account so that I can have my plan at the end of the month. I used it for just 3 days and the fourth day, I transferred money from my own personal bank at other bank just to make sure all my spending is in one account before sending to my recipient. Security flagged the transfer and representatives were meant to review and approve the transfer. I contacted them via chat because they have no phone whatsoever. I was reputed not long and I was told the compliance team are working on it. They truly reached out to me by asking for my payslips and so which I returned to them. For a week, the money has been on hold and each time I reach out, they Al end by saying customer compliance team is in charge. I don’t care who’s in charge. If I cannot reach out to the team I charge, how then am I in charge of my money. How would you explain holding customer’s money which he had transferred from his own bank account for days and all goes like blank. I’m done with the bank. That’s the reason they ain’t topping the list I guess. My money is still not released and they’re in total control. Nothing to do just watch. My advice is better be sure to not need urgent money before you open this bank and fund it because the service to me is unbearable to the uttermost. I hope to get my money soon and delete this app….
