Monzo 60 Day Notice Closure

I do admit I don’t leave much in the account monthly as I tend to save elsewhere (Money Box). On Friday 25th I got an email to say both accounts were closing…

Debit card use abroad
I’ve had a message from Lloyd’s (dated 10 March) that they’re removing local currency fees from debit card use from 14 April. I was thinking of using my Lloyd’s card on my cruise as I don’t want to use cash when spending in NOK, SEK and DKK - I don’t think it’s worth the fees for the limited sums for a day each for number…

ATM didn't give me long enough to retrieve the note. Company unhelpful.
I used an ATM outside a supermarket when on holiday in Wales last week. The machine did not give me long enough to retrieve my cash and when I leaned forward to try to take it the gate mechanism closed and the money was lost to me. I was very angry and upset. I felt quite humiliated given that it was such a public area.…

I switched from co-op to Lloyds. Only the switch seems to be partially complete. I've received the cash bonus in the Lloyds account, but the…

How long before a non-debited Visa Debit transaction expires?
Back in October, I paid for lunch in a café with my Visa Debit card. It was a one-off visit to this place. The transaction still hasn't reached my bank account.
