Monzo to Launch Mobile Service

Monzo to Launch Mobile Service

Monzo is expected to leverage its app-based model to integrate mobile services with financial management tools.

App-based bank Monzo, is preparing to launch a mobile service integrated into its app.

The challenger bank, which has more than 13 million customers is understood to be targeting its younger, tech-savvy base with mobile tariffs that combine pricing bundles and loyalty rewards.

“Monzo is known for transforming products and an entire industry  to deliver a great experience for customers. So when we heard from our customers that mobile contracts can be a pain point we set out to explore how we could do this the Monzo way, and are in the early stages of developing this idea” said a Monzo spokesperson.

The move mirrors strategies by Revolut, which is using telecoms both as an additional revenue stream and a way to boost customer engagement.

Monzo is expected to leverage its app-based model to integrate mobile services with financial management tools, potentially creating a differentiator in an increasingly crowded market.

The bank has not released details about launch timings or network partners but confirmed it is exploring new services to “make money work for everyone.”

Monzo’s potential entry into the MVNO market is unlikely to create opportunities for the mobile channel. Fintechs generally prefer digital-first, direct-to-consumer models, often with SIM distribution handled online. This approach bypasses traditional distribution partners, keeping costs low and maintaining tight control over customer experience.
