We’re reimagining the way banking works.

We’re the mobile app alternative to the banks, offering accounts you can open instantly, so that you don’t lose access to the money you need every time you cross a border on a map.
We’re here for everyone, not just for those with perfect credit scores or the right set of utility bills.

When our Founder and CEO Norris Koppel moved to the UK, he struggled to open a bank account. Without a bank account, he couldn’t receive his salary or rent a place to stay. But without an address or UK credit history, he couldn’t open a bank account.
To fix this painful experience, he came up with the idea for Monese: an account that’s not just for those with perfect credit scores or the right set of utility bills. An account you can open instantly and use on your mobile, so you don’t lose access to your money every time you cross a border on a map.
We launched in September 2015 as the UK’s first mobile app alternative to the banks.
Fast forward to the present day and we’ve signed up over 2 million people from across 31 countries. Our mobile apps and customer support are available in 14 languages, so that you can spend and save like a local anywhere in the European Economic Area. We’ve been named ‘Best Challenger Bank' in Europe and we’ve been awarded €1.1 million by the European Commission for research and innovation. With stellar reviews and many of our customers using us to receive their salaries, we’re one of the most popular and trusted financial services in Europe.
