What happens to my Monzo account when I downgrade?

Downgrading to the free plan keeps your Monzo current account, card, and all core banking features fully intact. You'll lose premium perks like higher fee-free ATM limits abroad, travel insurance, and the metal or holographic card.

Will my standing orders and Direct Debits be affected?

No — downgrading your plan does not affect any standing orders or Direct Debits set up on your Monzo account. All scheduled payments will continue as normal.

Can I upgrade back to Monzo Plus or Premium later?

Yes, you can upgrade back to Plus or Premium at any time from the Account tab in the app. Your account history and pot balances will remain untouched.

Tips mot kundebevaringstaktikker

Before you go, it's worth knowing that downgrading to the free Monzo plan still gives you the full current account experience — instant notifications, spending analytics, savings pots, and your Monzo card. You'll only lose the premium extras. If the monthly cost is the issue, the free plan is a great way to stay with Monzo at no charge. Would you like to switch to the free plan instead?
