Monzo Equivalents

Feb 26, 2025

Hello

I use Monzo Bank in the UK and wondered if anyone has used a Digital bank in the UAE that comes close to having the same features as Monzo offers …..i.e Pots, Catagories, Virtual Cards.

I looked at YAP but their app seems to have lots of issues and there seems to be a hold up on their verification process.
Thanks for any info in advance.

Revolut and Al Maryah community bank.

I would echo Revolut …… works well for me in UAE. You will still need a uae bank … I send AED from my uae bank and then spend and/or convert back to £ or whatever I need if travelling.

But isn’t revolut uk based? That means we would have to pay taxes on the money sent to custom pots, wouldn’t it?

I’m also looking for an alternative to Monzo as I make great use of the custom pots. Have you found an alternative in Dubai?

Personally I've not found anything like Monzo in the UAE. I use Revolut for transfers not savings.
