Everything is good about this app. But their support sucks as they blocked my access to my account and said they will be in touch with me and solve it within 10 working days. But it's been more than three weeks i kept messaging them emailing them but they are not giving any good reason why they're doing it to me. And i have more than 1000 euros in my account and i can'make any weekly or monthly payments as a result i am in a very bad situation right now. They are fake! Avoid it..

Delighted with Monese. I needed a card quickly and got mine delivered to Paris within a couple of days. The payments are visible immediately, even the rejected payments. The only thing missing is more options for contactless payments: how to activate or deactivate the option, the total amount of my contactless payments and how much more I can spend this way. Overall, it's a great solution!

I registered for their service a few months back and my account is still not verified. I wanted to contact them but there is literally no button for the support when waiting for your application to be reviewed.I had to look for their email online and I finally sent them an email but I never got a reply. The worst user experience ever. Suggestion for the product team: put a support icon after registration so people can reach you.
