Monese account to avoid reporting ?

[Piano]

Monese does NOT require that you have an address to open an account (the owner of this company started monese because it is not easy to get a bank account in England without having different documents)
they only need an address to send the card

so I suppose because of this , there is no reporting going on...

Avoid Monese at all costs, they locked my account and many others (you can check‌ their twitter). 15k stuck and they never sent it to my bank account as they‍ said, many are in the same situation.

Reports CRS and is not recommended, slow and unresponsive customer service and many account lockouts‌ and closures.

Maybe you did⁠ something shady ?

NEVER, sent 30K from‌ my own account to my Monese account to use their debit card (which i never‍ activated), they locked my account and asked for a doc which i sent, i then⁠ sent back 15K to same account i used to load, once the transaction completed they⁤ locked my account and had to wait 2 months for them to release my remaining⁣ 15k (had to file a complaint with the FCA tho).

Had my account locked with them for half a year, no communication, no replies, no‌ explanation. I did nothing wrong, they just decide to defraud people and steal your money‍ and hope you will eventually give up. When you email them, they will simply do⁠ not answer at all. When you call them, prepare to wait over 1 hour on⁤ the line - and you will have to follow up with them multiple times because⁣ they will try to scam you and steal your money.

In general I recommend to⁢ avoid reviews from Trustpilot because they are mostly fake, manipulated and censored; however in Monese︀ case they are very accurate:

Nether had any issues with them. Opened my account a year ago 😉

Did you send money︁ from crypto exchanges to your Monese account?

 

[IlyMily]

Don’t even think about doing that with Monese, they will lock your account for‍ doing day to day expenses let alone tryin a crypto transfer.

monese is the same s**t as n26 and all other virtual banks and EMIs. avoid‌ them.
