Other banks don't offer that (top ups via card), and I don't think it's something you should expect of a bank account - it was always a stop-gap. If you're using it for spending regularly and don't want to switch, just set up a standing order for a bit of money each week/month to try it out. I think as they want to become a bank this is part of that process - their focus needs to be on those who use it as their main account.
Personally I switched almost a year ago (when they introduced CA), and am happy with that choice so far - kept my old bank just in case but haven't needed it. Re outages many banks have had major outages recently, far more than Monzo... They had a few glitches early on (late last year), but I'm fairly confident of their ability to scale now.
- raesene9 8y agoIt indeed isn't a common feature of bank accounts. However it is a feature that Monzo had, which was easy to use and they got rid of it (IIRC due to the costs of providing it), which decreased usability, which I think was the original point the poster made...
- baby 8y agoindeed. But Monzo is better than most (all?) banks and this is what people used to top up their cards before they removed the feature.
