Monese suddenly made it so my device is considered "incompatible" by the Google Play Store, making it so it wouldn't let me update it anymore. Then at one point the app refused to let me access my account because I couldn't install the latest update. When I then installed it from the Huawei App Gallery instead however, it worked perfectly fine. What a useless bureaucratic nightmare this app is...

I am struggling to open an account and is impossible to find a way to open an account. Is coming up every time in the new app, there are some problems with the server for about 3 days and nowhere in the app or website is possible to find a way to solve this defective app or an information about this glitch or defect., so disappointing about this app, no custumer service, no advicers, nothing

A very useful card with low charges and almost everywhere accepted.This is the Swiss army knife of debit cards! You can top up easy at any pay point and there are lots of other benefits like free withdrawals every month and extremely low chargers on money transfers! Coming back from my past review after nearly 6 years the only think i have to say is that if you haven't got it yet get it now as soon as possible as its probably the best card you can get 😀😄😄
