Monzo unusable as a switching donor?

D924

I've now had my switch rejected by both Lloyds and Halifax for my Monzo account. Just gives a generic error message of:

"We cannot switch this account - we couldn't swictch your account at this time" as soon as I tryy.

Anyone else had issues with Monzo as a switching donor?

I switched out from Monzo in early February, to Natwest I think.

Only had the Monzo account less than two weeks. Transferred some money in and made a few spends in the shops first then switched. They sent a sorry to see you leave message in the app as soon as the switch started.

Maybe they got fed up with people using them in this way or there is a problem with the account.

Monzo are part of the CASS scheme, they can't just decide they're fed up with people using it and stop co-operating. It's an agreed procedure.

Far more likely that there's some problem with the process, such as name not marching exactly, or some other technical issue.
