Alongside budgeting and money management, Monzo allows users to save money through setting up various savings pots where users can earn interest on savings. There is also a feature that allows you to automatically add up change from payments made on your debit card into one of your regular pots by rounding up your spending to the nearest pound. Monzo is fully regulated by the FCA and protected by the FSCS, meaning your money is protected up to £85,000.

The offers compared on this page are chosen from a range of products we can track; we don't cover every product on the market...yet. Unless we've indicated otherwise, products are shown in no particular order or ranking. The terms "best", "top", "cheap" (and variations), aren't product ratings, although we always explain what's great about a product when we highlight it; this is subject to our terms of use. When making a big financial decision, it's wise to consider getting independent financial advice, and always consider your own financial circumstances when comparing products so you get what's right for you. Most of the data in Finder's comparison tables has the source: Moneyfacts Group PLC. In other cases, Finder has sourced data directly from providers.
