Banking App Budgeting Too Basic for Real Financial Planning?

Frustrated that budgeting features feel like an afterthought? Need comprehensive financial insights your bank can't provide? You're not alone. You are not alone - thousands are switching to smarter financial planning.

The Monzo Pain Points We Hear Every Day

"Banking first, budgeting second!"

Monzo is a bank first, with budgeting features that feel like an afterthought. You get basic pots and spending categories, but no real financial planning tools.

"UK only - no global functionality!"

Limited to UK users with UK bank accounts. If you travel, work internationally, or have foreign investments, Monzo can't help you track your full financial picture.

"No investment or retirement tracking!"

Monzo shows your spending but ignores your investments, pensions, and wealth. You're flying blind on the most important parts of your financial life.

"Need a Monzo account for full features!"

Many features require a Monzo bank account. If you prefer another bank, you're locked out of the full Monzo experience.

"Basic insights only!"

You get spending notifications and simple trends, but no personalised recommendations, scenario planning, or long-term financial guidance.

"No comprehensive planning!"

Monzo helps you track spending but can't help you plan for retirement, set financial goals, or model different financial scenarios.
