Monzo’s UI features a clean, uncluttered interface that shows the daily spend, displays trends in monthly spending by categories and allows transferring money to someone using just their phone number with a payment link

June 24, 2025 //  by Finnovate

Monzo’s clean UI and uncluttered interface was revolutionary and the bright orange branded cards made me feel like I was part of a special club. Here’s what I like about the UX/UI.

  • It shows you what you’ve spent: This might seem obvious but it’s not a given on banking apps. My Nationwide app doesn’t show me how much I’ve spent in a day, it just shows me what my balance is. This makes it more difficult to tally up what I’ve spent on a particular day and work out how much my monthly direct debits cost, for example.
  • Transferring money is easy: In other banking apps, adding a new payee can be a pain. There are card readers to contend with and what seems like endless identity checks. In Monzo, it takes a limited number of clicks to transfer your cash. You can transfer money to someone using just their phone number, and you can send them a link to pay you with.
  • Check trends in spending: Monzo has changed the way it displays trends in spending and I must admit I preferred the previous interface, but it is still handy to be able to see at a glance how much you’ve spent in different categories, such as Transport, Shopping and Eating Out in a month or a year (though whether anyone needs to know how much they’ve spent on Eating Out in a year is debatable).
  • Splitting the bill is fun: I don’t use this function often but you can easily split a bill within the Monzo app, and you can also do this for ongoing household expenses. Fun little animations show how it works and the amount each paying and who you’re splitting with is really clearly laid out on the screen. This is another case where the user interface makes it really clear what’s going on, which is exactly what you need in a banking app.
