Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for Monzo
Monzo is a hugely popular digital bank in the UK, famous for its user-friendly app and budgeting features. Your Monzo account is a primary bank account for millions, and it is secured by your phone number. In a country with a high incidence of sophisticated financial fraud, a dedicated, private virtual phone number is a crucial, advanced security measure to protect your account.
Build a Fortress Around Your Bank Account
Your Monzo account is a prime target for fraudsters who specialize in tactics like "authorized push payment" scams and SIM swapping. A private virtual number, used only for your Monzo account, acts as a secret key that criminals don't have. Since the number is not public, it makes it significantly harder for them to target you with convincing fake bank alerts or attempt to take over your number.
Isolate Your Primary Banking Hub
A virtual number allows you to completely isolate your Monzo account from all your other online activities. A data breach at your food delivery app or a social media platform will not expose the phone number you use to protect your main bank account. This separation is a fundamental principle for preventing a security issue elsewhere from becoming a financial disaster.
Ensure Absolute Financial Privacy
Using a virtual number for your bank ensures that your most critical financial alerts and verification codes are sent to a dedicated, secure line. This keeps your financial life separate from your social life, offering a cleaner, more organized, and ultimately more secure way to manage your money with one of the UK's favorite digital banks.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can. SMSFAST allows you to rent multiple virtual numbers, meaning you can use a unique number for each Monzo account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into Monzo. Also, ensure the number you used is still active and within its valid time frame.
If the issue persists, the number might have been flagged by Monzo. In such cases, we recommend simply renting a new temporary phone number and repeating the registration process.
