Retirement benefits
We’ll automatically enrol you into our pension scheme with Aviva. We offer a 4% employer contribution (Monzo pays you 100% of your salary, then 4% extra into the pension). You’ll need to pay 4% too, and you can opt to pay more for the tax benefits! You can opt out if you’d prefer not to have a pension at all
Generous vacation
24 days’ holiday a year, plus bank holidays - please use them all! Or, you can opt out of bank holidays and take 32 days’ holiday whenever you like (Customer Operations staff get 32 days and are scheduled to work bank holidays, but can still request annual leave if you’d like) + an extra 1 month’s unpaid leave every year
