Monzo ended its 2026 financial year with over 15 million customers across personal and business banking, a 25% increase year over year. Revenue reached £1.7 billion, up 39%. Customer deposits grew 55% to £25.7 billion. The Monzo statistics below are drawn from audited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026, according to Monzo Bank Holding Group Limited.
One number in that set travelled further than the rest, and it is the one that needs the most care. Monzo reported adjusted profit before tax of £172.6 million, while the audited statutory profit before tax in the same accounts was £87.3 million.
Key Takeaways

By the numbers: Monzo’s audited profit before tax was £87.3 million in FY2026 against an adjusted figure of £172.6 million. The wedge is share-based payments plus two exceptional items, a £21.1 million FCA penalty and a £5.3 million restructuring provision, on a basis Monzo restated this year.

Why it matters: The statutory country split shows a UK business earning £122.3 million before tax while three overseas entities lost money in the same year. Group profit before tax of £87.3 million is therefore a UK result net of an international build-out.

Monzo Lending Book and Monzo Flex
- Gross loan balances grew 42% over the year, reaching £2.6 billion by year-end.
- Total drawn balances rose to £2,641 million from £1,853 million.
- Loans were 41% higher, Monzo Flex increased 49%, and overdrafts rose 33%.
- Lending revenues increased 39% year over year.
- The number of personal account customers borrowing grew by over 1 million to over 4 million.
- Unsecured consumer credit at that scale is a small share of the wider UK market for personal loans, which is why Monzo’s mix skews toward overdrafts and instalment credit rather than large-ticket lending.
Monzo Loan Loss Rates and Arrears
- The credit loss expense increased 33% to £203.7 million, a £51.1 million increase from £152.6 million.
- The total loan loss rate improved to 9.0% from 9.4%.
- The realised loan loss rate improved to 6.7% from 7.5%.
- Portfolio coverage fell to 12.5% from 13.6%.
- Coverage by product was 7.8% on loans, 14.2% on Flex and 20.5% on overdrafts.
- Expected credit losses grew in absolute terms but at a slower rate than balances.
What is the downside of Monzo?
The disclosed downside sits in the credit book. Overdraft arrears rose to 6.7% from 5.9%, and overdrafts carry 20.5% portfolio coverage, against a total loan loss rate of 9.0%. Monzo also paid an FCA penalty of £21,091,300 over historic financial crime controls.
Monzo Balance Sheet Composition and Net Interest Margin
- Cash and cash equivalents stood at £15.451 billion and treasury investments at £9.5 billion.
- Loans and advances to customers were £2.3 billion, up from £1.602 billion.
- Net interest margin fell to 3.7% from 4.1%, a 41 basis point reduction.
- The structural hedge carried a notional value of £11.9 billion, including a £10.8 billion portfolio of interest rate swaps.
- Monzo reported a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 33%, compared with 56% in FY2025.
- Monzo holds customer money on its own balance sheet under UK deposit rules, a different custody model from the self-custody products covered in the Trust Wallet statistics.
The takeaway: Lending is the smallest working slice of Monzo’s balance sheet. Cash of £15.451 billion and treasury investments of £9.5 billion dwarf a £2.3 billion loan book. Most of the asset base therefore earns a policy-linked return rather than a credit spread.

- Business banking now represents 14% of total revenue, compared with 12% a year ago.

Is Monzo Still Under Investigation?
The Financial Conduct Authority completed its investigation into Monzo’s historical financial crime controls in July. The regulator fined Monzo Bank Ltd £21,091,300 for inadequate anti-financial crime systems and controls between October 2018 and August 2020. Monzo also repeatedly breached a requirement preventing it from opening accounts for high-risk customers between August 2020 and June 2022. It signed up over 34,000 high-risk customers in that period.
Monzo has established and completed a financial crime change programme to remediate and enhance its wider financial crime control framework. FCA joint executive director Therese Chambers said Monzo fell far short of what we, and society, expect. The penalty was the 10th fine the FCA imposed on a bank for financial crime control failings in the previous 4 years.
Which Bank Is Behind Monzo?
The parent is Monzo Bank Holding Group Limited, incorporated on 6 April 2023 and registered under SIC code 64205, activities of financial services holding companies. Within that structure, MBL is incorporated in the UK and undertakes banking activities, while MBEU is incorporated in the Republic of Ireland.
Monzo agreed its first acquisition during FY2026, the planned purchase of Habito, a UK digital mortgage broker. Hey Habito Ltd’s public register entry gives a registered office at Broadwalk House, 5 Appold Street, London EC2A 2AG. That is the same building Monzo’s parent uses as its own address.
Conclusion
The Monzo statistics close the year to 31 March 2026 with over 15 million customers and deposits of £25.7 billion and revenue of £1.7 billion. The scale story is settled; the composition story is not. A £9.5 billion treasury portfolio sits against a £2.3 billion loan book. That mix describes a bank earning most of its return from where it parks deposits, not from who it lends to.
That makes the next few years a rate-sensitivity question as much as a growth question. The country split is where to watch it, because UK profit is funding an international expansion that has not yet paid for itself.
