Remote-First

Monzo is a British digital bank, founded in 2015, built around a smartphone app rather than a branch network. Its pitch is a bank designed for the way people live today: solving customers' problems, treating them fairly and being totally transparent.

Monzo's Remote Policy

From the Monzo careers page: "We've got offices in London, Cardiff, Dublin and Barcelona but some people work remotely too. Each job description will say where the role is usually based, though we're big fans of flexible working!"

The same page adds: "If you're employed as a distributed worker, we'll pay for any equipment you need to do your job" and "If you're normally office-based, you can still work from home occasionally."

Remote eligibility is UK-only. Most UK postings are listed as "Cardiff, London or Remote (UK)", while roles in Barcelona, Madrid and Dublin, and some London roles, are office-located.

Why Monzo

Monzo's stated ambition is "building the best bank in the world", and it brings software-company habits to a regulated industry. Engineering works in the open: the company contributes to open source, publishes its engineering progression framework as a public document, and does not ask for formal qualifications or degree requirements for any of its engineering roles. Between 2017 and 2024 its Team blog carried parent experiences, gender pay gap updates and Women in Finance Charter progress reports.

Inside, Monzo's people call themselves Monzonauts, and the company describes "an open, collaborative, inclusive working environment" and says it continually engages with its community. Its guiding idea on where work happens is short and direct: "We believe you'll do your best work if you are where you want to be."
