Monzo

British banking

Monzo turns routine banking into tactile moments and well-timed prompts, with examples from confetti-covered recaps, gambling block notes and insurance upsells.

Key takeaways from 14 Case Studies and 34 UX Bites

  • Asks users to brush confetti off the yearly recap to reveal each statistic

  • Shows non-subscribers a Greggs promo after they pay, framing the perk as missed value

  • Sorts bank details pasted from WhatsApp into the correct payee fields
