How do I restrict where my members charge externally?

Explains how to restrict external charging access for your team members, including blocking or allowing specific roaming networks, so they can only charge on approved networks.

Updated 3 November 2026

By default, your Monta members can charge on any external network available through Monta roaming. This article explains how to restrict external charging access.

Why restrict external charging?

You may want to restrict external charging to:

  • Limit costs for your account members on company-funded accounts.
  • Keep charging within approved networks only.
  • Prevent unauthorised use of the account wallet for roaming sessions.

Access control options

In Monta Hub, you can:

  • Allow all external networks: the default. Members can charge anywhere Monta has a roaming agreement.
  • Restrict to specific networks: members can only charge on networks you approve.
  • Block external charging: members can only charge on your own charge points.

How to configure access controls

  1. Go to Admin > Operator > Account settings in Monta Hub.
  2. Select New, or edit an existing template.
  3. Go to the Wallet & restrictions step.
  4. In Networks, select the option you want.
  5. Save.

Choose which roaming networks drivers can pay at

This feature is in early access. If you don't see Roaming parties in an account template, it is not yet turned on for your operator. Ask your Monta contact to enable it.

Use a roaming party list to block named roaming networks, or to allow only the ones you list. The list applies to every account that uses the template. A roaming network is called a party here, for example a charge point operator (CPO) such as DE*ION.

  1. Go to Admin > Operator > Account settings.

  2. Create an account template, or edit an existing one.

  3. Go to the Wallet & restrictions step.

  4. In Roaming parties, under List type, select Block the listed parties or Allow only the listed parties.

    The Wallet & restrictions step of an account template, with the Roaming parties section showing the Early access label, Block the listed parties selected as the list type, and two parties added.

  5. Select Add party, search for a party, and select it. Repeat for each party.

  6. To remove a party, select its remove button.

  7. Save the template.

The list shows the parties you added. Select the ? next to Roaming parties for a short explanation in Hub.

How the list works

  • Block the listed parties: drivers can't pay to charge at the listed parties.
  • Allow only the listed parties: drivers can pay only at the listed parties. All other roaming parties are blocked.
  • An empty list restricts nothing in either mode.
  • One entry covers the party on both OCPI (Open Charge Point Interface) and Hubject.
  • The list also covers Monta operators that have their own identity, including Monta itself (DK*MON). Operators that only use a parent's or Monta's identity can't be listed and are never refused by the list.
  • Your own operator's network, its parent and its sub-operators are never refused. An allow list can't lock drivers out of your own charge points.
  • The strictest restriction wins when several apply, for example a charge key restriction or the Networks setting.
  • The party list only applies to roaming charge points. The Networks setting still controls the Monta network.
