User reviews
If the problem will solved, I will change the review. I don't have access to my old phone number as I am moved to another country. I am entering my email, I am performing the approval from the received email and the app asking to verify my identity via SMS to, having the non existing number as the only option!!! At the help most of the related pages are 404. Really I am strucked.......

My access to my Monese account is still blocked. When I click on the chat icon, it immediately leaves the chat and returns to the block page. How many stars would you give this masterpiece?!

Used to be a fantastic service - until I tried to move phone. The same security process that normally takes 30 seconds - verify email, take selfie - had lead to my account being "temporarily blocked" on the very same day I was due to pay my rent. And their support service is absolutely nonexist, so I doubt I will be getting that money back. I'll be contacting the ombudsman. THIS APP IS NOT A BANK. IT WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY.
