Card spend also grew 42% year-on-year to £47.8bn while deposits were up 88% from last year to £11.2bn
The Monzo app is set up to be more like non-banking related apps than its competitors. At the end of last year Monzo revealed its yearly roundup feature, which allowed users to look back through the highlights of their spending habits over the last year, aiming to do so in a fun and positive way, drawing its inspiration from Spotify and others.
The release of these figures is no different, with Monzo releasing its annual report with the same bright colours, design and bold imagery that it uses through its application and marketing.
