Is Monzo only for those based in the United Kingdom?

If so, for those based in the states, you ought to check out Simple (https://www.simple.com) - it's great, it has a clean user interface, there are no fees, and the customer support team is top notch.

I assume it's the same thing (Simple and Monzo). Anyone know of any major differences between them?

Monzo is UK only at the moment. They don't do saving which it seems Simple does. They (for now) have focussed upon building their tech stack and a pre paid credit card.

The thing is, their big value add is the instant notifications. As far as I can tell from reading their blog, this took a lot of development effort: https://monzo.com/blog/2015/12/15/why-are-foreign-card-payme...

I'm also a happy customer of Simple and also similarly curious about any major differences. In fact, it seems like Simple is better in every way at the moment: https://www.simple.com/features
