Monzo has said banks should have to offer a gambling block function.
In Brief:
The FinTech signed a letter to sports minister Nigel Huddleston.
It calls upon the government to remove barriers for people who want to stop gambling.
It says all banks and account providers should have to offer an option to block such activity.
What does this mean?
Several banks – such as HSBC – already offer a feature for those who want to block themselves from spending money on betting.
The sports minister is currently leading a review into gambling law, and Monzo is joined in the letter by campaigners and addiction experts.
