  • Check out my updated Monzo Bank review for 2022.
    Monzo's innovations made it the stand-out digital bank for years. But now other banks have caught up is it still worth having an account?
    I'll take you through the key features for spending, budgeting and saving that make it one of the best current accounts, but also share a few areas where it could cause concern.

    The only reason I’m considering joining Monzo is for the budgeting side, for stuff like holidays; business; government docs; cars etc etc. The bank I’m currently at only allows you to open one savings account as well as your primary account, but it doesn’t give you any of the pots-like features that would allow me to separate my savings into sections.

    • @BeCleverWithYourCash
      @BeCleverWithYourCash  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It's a great feature - though you do end up losing interest as none of the pots pay this. You could look at Virgin Money's M Plus account as the attached savings accounts can be split in to pots and will pay 0.35%. Not great but better than nothing!

    If Starling improved its user interface and presentation and made it more like Monzo's it would win hands down. I feel like that's the main thing holding Starling back.

      @@smoothie9931 yeah I get what you mean. I don’t feel like Monzo is a bank to be taken seriously. Where’s Starling feels more professional. I actually agree with you. Perhaps I meant to say If Starling could implement some of the budgetary illustrations like how much money left for the pay period and improve their initial presentation on the Home Screen it would be better. When I look at it, it just seems a bit if a mess and it takes slightly longer to decipher than that of Monzos

      @@admstephens understandable... Starling UI is nice I guess, but the menus are really strange, different submenus that all lead to the same places and things like that. Would also be nice if you could pick a theme, while navy and green is okay, it does look a bit weird.
      I know with banks like Natwest you can change the app themes around a little, this would be nice for monzo and starling.
      (Also, just looking at other vids on these two banks, looks like Starling is starting to go really woke and starting some sort of equality stuff on instagram, I know that will put a lot off too, not sticking to their lane, so to speak)

    I’m loving Monzo and have upgraded to plus. My only issue is you are not able to name a virtual card in Apple Pay, you have to remember what colour you have assigned. Gets confusing when you have multiple virtual cards. If you could name them in AP, then I would probably make it my main account

      Yes! Though watch out for the limits on cash withdrawals. It's fine for occasional use, but if you do this often you'll want to have a different account or meet the other criteria for unlimited cash machine use.
