Bank Accounts for Appointees
Smarter banking for appointees and those they support
When authorised by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to act as an appointee, you are required to manage a dedicated bank account. Our Appointee Account is purpose-built to simplify this responsibility—helping you stay compliant, avoid common errors, and safeguard the individual and their care team.
Built on the Monika platform, and used by hundreds of solicitors and local authorities, accounts are Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)-protected, free to open, and set up in minutes.
Key features include welfare benefit checks, balance alerts, managed spending via separate debit cards, secure document storage, and enhanced controls such as dual authorisation and spending limits.
