Not really.

They have the Facebook Pixel installed likely to do retargeting advertising when a person visits their website.

It's one of the most effective methods so it's very common to see it everywhere.

This is related to their app not their website.

Same applies to their app.

Doing retargeting for when (a) someone downloads their app but doesn't signup and (b) someone is a customer but has low engagement i.e. is likely to churn.

That may be true, but I still think it's a low-effort way for them to do it, and I expect better from Monzo than this. Plus it tracks people regardless of if they fit in a) or b) - neither of which is the case for me.
