Monzo is awesome
Monzo is awesome. I'm a complete convert - have both a personal account and a joint account. I love that it makes me feel much more in control of my money than my old high-street bank. I get instant notifications when I spend, can see on the map precisely where each is, I don't have to remember a bunch of passwords (especially not that 3D-secure one! I just open my phone and click "ok" instead; so much better!), I get lovely spending summaries per category (groceries, bills, going out...) which let me quickly see where money is going, and the support is second-to-none: all done within the app on chat, no long phone calls being bounded around departments endlessly). And the card looks really cool, too. Highly recommended; a complete step-change from the high street bank offering, and zero risk because the FSCS, backed by government mandate, covers you in case anything happens to them. I do not miss my old bank even one bit!
