Sure, that sounds painful if that is what you were used to. Just out of curiosity, why did you not set up a standing order? If you're using it regularly surely

Sure, that sounds painful if that is what you were used to. Just out of curiosity, why did you not set up a standing order? If you're using it regularly surely this would work just as well? Seems annoying to have to constantly top it up with small amounts. Was that a commitment too far? When I was transitioning I did a v. small standing order first for a few months and used it for spending, then upped the amount, then eventually switched over salary, direct debits etc.

For beta user, back when Monzo wasn't yet a bank account, the only to put money on it was to pay by card. This was a habit that a lot of us had taken, and as described above, it was just easier to do all in one place: - Go check your monzo app - Notice you're low on fund - Top up using your card A lot of us haven't switched completely, because why would you when other current account can give you travel insurance, small % of interest, etc.

  > For beta user, back when Monzo wasn't yet a bank account, the only to put money on it was to pay by card. This is incorrect - it was possible for a long time to top-up via bank transfer. Certainly during beta. It simply required using a shared sort code/account number with a specific numeric reference which tied the payment to your account. It wasn't as instant as it is now (with Faster Payments), but it was still definitely possible.
