Instantaneous Banking Apps

Monzo is an online bank that calls itself "the bank of the future," as it is built in a forward-thinking way that eliminates many of the outdated features from financial institutions.

Even though many banks offer online banking platforms and apps, Monzo believes that there is a still a better way for customers to manage their finances. As the company's site notes: "We started Monzo because we think that banking should be better. In a world where you can use an app on your phone to order food or a taxi, it’s ridiculous that your bank still takes days to update your balance when you make a card payment.

Since Monzo is smartphone-friendly, it offers a range of ways for customers, particularly Millennials, to review their spending overviews, transfer money and instantly see their updated balance.
