I only gave 2 stars as I will give zero if it's possible. Despite charging me for a debit card in the sum of £4.95, I never received the card. It's even annoying that to move my balance from this account I had to pay £1. I would never recommend the bank to anyone. I'm closing my account as I have moved to a better bank. Monese is apologetic and this is not how a good bank operates.

Contacted Monese after having 1000€ stolen from my account. It's been 1-2 months and still no help to resolve the issue. I've emailed both the support and fraud department and got nothing more than an automated message despite sending every statement to them. When I've phoned Monese up. Guess what? Zero help whatsoever followed by yet another automated message. From my experience with Monese for almost 2 years don't open an account with them as they are untrustworthy and unhelpful.

I am struggling to open an account and is impossible to find a way to open an account. Is coming up every time in the new app, there are some problems with the server for about 3 days and nowhere in the app or website is possible to find a way to solve this defective app or an information about this glitch or defect., so disappointing about this app, no custumer service, no advicers, nothing
