As an aside, as a Monzo beta tester I can't say enough good things. Currently travelling around Asia and the card works almost everywhere and I pay 0 fees and get the exact Master Card rate. Twice now I've landed with 0 cash in the airport and been fine. I've used the card in over 10 countries outside UK with <1% issues, and often this is better than my Barclays or Amex.

This is just a small benefit but when you put the whole product/experience together from the app + in-app customer service + the card + etc, it just works so well and really comes into a category of it's own. A lot of people say "yeah buy my bank does X too" and while true, they way I look at this is Monzo is like the iPod - other MP3 players had same functionality but this one just works and works damn well.




Simply using it as a bog standard card in the UK it is head and shoulders above other high street banks.

Kudos for having the brass balls to actually execute a conversation that has probably happened a million times in every City pub.
