UK Personal Fees and Limits
Fees & Limits
These fees and limits are effective from the 16th of April 2025.
Fees
We’ve set out the fees for your Monese Account below, which detail the core services of normal use of your Monese Account. The fees shown in euros apply if you have a Monese EUR Account, the fees shown in pounds sterling apply if you have a Monese GBP Account and the fees shown in lei apply if you have a Monese RON Account. We generate our revenue from the core fees that we charge to you. The other fees are charged to you when you use certain services on your Monese Account on an ad-hoc basis. If you have more than one Monese Account, you’ll only be charged the monthly or annual subscription fees shown below for your Primary Monese Account and not for any other Monese Account you hold alongside.
The fees described under the heading ‘Live Plans’ are available to all customers whereas the fees described under the heading ‘Legacy Plans’ are only available to those customers already on the plans described in that section.
If you open your Monese Account, the Plans and any features of the Plans available to you, including any fees and top-up requirements, may be different to the descriptions in this Agreement depending on the country you live in. Where this is the case, we will send you an email as soon as you have successfully opened your Monese Account, to explain any differences to your Plan, the features of your Plan, including any fees and top-up requirements. This information will also be displayed in your Monese App. If you do not like any of the changes described in the email, you are entitled to close your Monese Account at any time (see section 2.38 for details on closing your Monese Account).
