You would need to contact Monzo directly and ask why you've been declined. It may have nothing to do with the reasons above.

I emailed them and they didn't help me they said they can't change it do you think if I call them (customer service) will it change anything?

If you are a non resident and put a foreign address that is the likely reason. You need to be living in the UK and have a UK address.

Monzo have had a lot of problems with money laundering. If one of the countries you listed is a known recipient for money laundering it could be that is the reason. Have you looked at Revolut or Starling?

If it’s their policy to not give out further info then I don’t think it’ll make any difference, but you’ve got nothing to lose by calling.

Do you have any idea if I called them will make a difference?
