  • Monzo exits US market after seven years, shifts focus to Europe with new banking licence
    April 5, 2026, 9:26 PM EDT. Monzo announced it is shutting down its US operations by June 2026, ceasing new American sign-ups immediately and cutting around 50 US jobs. The UK challenger bank struggled without a US banking licence, relying on partnerships for deposit holding and card issuance, preventing it from offering full-service banking products like loans and mortgages. This marks the end of a seven-year effort that failed to establish a viable US presence. The move follows Monzo securing a full banking licence from the European Central Bank and the Central Bank of Ireland in December 2025. This European licence allows Monzo to expand its footprint in the EU and underpins its planned London IPO, targeting a valuation of £6-7 billion. The bank now focuses on scaling in the UK and Europe, abandoning the US market that never afforded it structural competitiveness.
