About Monese
Monese is a digital banking app and card great for travellers, allowing fee-free card payments and ATM withdrawals abroad. Users can set up a Monese account within minutes – there’s no credit check and no minimum deposit. All accounts offer access to interest-paying savings accounts through online savings platform Raisin. There is also a credit builder too available to all Monese account holders. Monese is also fully regulated by the FCA. However, Monese is not a bank and is rather an e-money institution, meaning your money is not protected by the FSCS.
