Monzo

Monzo is a UK-based digital challenger bank (Monzo Bank Ltd, FCA-authorised) offering current accounts, savings pots, joint accounts, business banking and lending through a mobile-first app. For developers, Monzo publishes a public REST API at api.monzo.com that lets a user build personal applications against their own Monzo account: listing accounts, reading balances, managing savings pots, retrieving and annotating transactions, uploading receipts and attachments, posting custom feed items into the app, and registering webhooks for real-time transaction notifications.
