Founded in 2013 by Norris Koppel and launched in 2015, Monese was created to provide accessible, mobile-first financial services for expatriates, immigrants, and digital nomads who often struggle to open traditional bank accounts in a new country. The company offers multi-currency e-money accounts, debit cards, international money transfers, and various other financial tools through its mobile application. Monese's mission is to provide financial freedom for everyone by making it easy to manage money anywhere, without the hidden fees and restrictions often associated with high-street banks.
