Monese was founded in 2013 by Norris Koppel with the mission to provide accessible, modern banking services for everyone, particularly for expatriates and immigrants who might struggle to open a traditional bank account. Launched in 2015, the company was one of the first 100% mobile current account providers in the UK. Monese offers multi-currency accounts (GBP, EUR, RON), a contactless Mastercard debit card, international money transfers, and other financial tools through its smartphone app, aiming to make managing money simple and globally connected. It is authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK as an Electronic Money Institution.
