Best bank: Monzo ,starling or revolted

[TaffetaRustle]

We do use monzo as a side bank it's got decent interest rates but I find the layout and how it works awkward to use.

It's for my DD 18.

Ideally somewhere to grow her money and keep it seperste should nationwide get robbed etc

Excellent auto correct 😉

I like Revolut personally.

I use Starling and it's great. App is easy to use. I travel a lot, and not having foreign transaction fees is a huge plus. Savings interests rates are good for their instant access account. I would never use Revolut. Problems with fraud, withholding funds, investigations onto money laundering etc.

I've got a Zopa account. One savings pot has an interest rate of 7.5% for the next 12 months, the others 3.25% at the moment. 2% on my current account

I have Starling for travelling, and have had Lloyds for forever (very first bank account).

Revolted 🤣🤣🤣

Starling - app is easy to use, no foreign transaction fees and they were quick off the mark in messaging me about a failed but potentially fraudulent transaction. Their “Talk to Starling” online chat is quick and efficient.

I have Monzo and and Starling. I prefer Monzo for day to day and short haul travel but Starling is excellent for travel further afield.

I use Revolut for spending abroad as it has the best currency exchange rates. The app is well designed and simple to use, but it's not a good idea to store significant amounts of money on there, as it's not as well protected as most other options. If you are looking for somewhere to store money, it would be better to choose another option.

What are her criteria for judging "neatness"?

Id look at those first and then see which bank ticks the most boxes. Is there a reason for not including any of the traditional banks in your question?

I'm guessing at 18 she's not loaded so interest isn't going to be a huge factor, does she need an overdraft?

I love Monzo. I also have a chase account and a revolut but much prefer Monzo

Halifax

I have a Monzo account for day to day spending and a Starling account for bills. I like them both.

We have Monzo personal and business and really like it.

Monzo.

I have Monzo and Starling. I use Starling for travel abroad ( obviously can use Monzo too). I like Monzo slightly better as they have pots and cashback offers on shopping.
I have a main bank account too.

We use Starling. Got 2.02 Oz dollars to £1 yesterday with no transaction fee ... fabulous.

Brilliant thank you it looks like Monzo pips the post

I just personally find it's quite back and forwards having to do stuff.
The interface isn't clear on transactions and spending etc.
Anyway it's decent enough thank you

• oh yes revolted ! I can't see the top subject line when it's written

I have Chase and Starling. There not much to choose between the two.

I had Monzo but ditched it when they restricted free overseas cash withdrawals.
