Company mission

To make global banking accessible to everyone. Not only do they want to make opening and using an account as easy as ordering an Uber, they also wanted to ensure it was accessible to everyone and not just a select few with perfect credit scores and several month’s worth of utility bill documentation.

Our take

Banks haven't innovated their consumer offering for decades. The tide is now turning, with fast moving disruptors building consumer-first businesses and products with many more useful features.

Monese's differentiator is that they target customers with a ‘thin’ credit file or who are newly arrived in a country, and the account can be opened in just 2 minutes with minimal documentation.

This makes it attractive to recent migrants or other customers that don’t have a full financial history and therefore may find it more cumbersome to apply for an account with a high street bank.

The company launched its newest XYB banking platform in May 2023, which is a 'coreless' platform aimed to improve the way banks make financial services available for UK and European clients.
