Starling offers unlimited withdrawals for free.
And you can get travel insurance for much cheaper than that
£13 a month for that?
A different colour card, travel insurance and a bit extra foreign use?
You can get unlimited foreign use with Starling and there are cheaper travel insurance offerings out there.
I’ll bet the Monzo coral crew on their community forum will be saying this is the best thing ever to happen to the banking industry.

This should have been announced on April 1st :rotfl:
I think Monzo is targeting the 20’s and early 30’s age group in general, just the whole attitude they display is to draw in younger people..
I mean, have you ever seen another customer service that peppers their communications with emojis all over the place in messages?
Monzo are charging an additional 5% fee on the emergency money - on top of the monthly fee for Monzo Plus!
It's a service most banks offer for free..
Monzo have made a good core product but obviously lack basic commercial sense.
It would be no good for me anyway as I am older than the maximum age limit of the travel insurance and would certainly have no use for the 'Swag'.
Is this sort of age discrimination legal? I can understand travel insurance policies excluding those of very advanced age for obvious reasons, but a maximum age of 35?
Those aged over 35 should withdraw their business from Monzo in protest.
