    Monzo is excellent, instant notification of any transaction wherever you are and other advanced features, just beware of the 3% fee on non-UK ATM withdrawals in excess of £200 equ per month.

    I have both Starling and Monzo, the advantage of the former is that you still have unlimited 0% transaction fee on cash withdrawal per month. Otherwise very similar

    Monzo's fee-free ATM limit is only on overseas use.

    True, forgot to make that clear (focusing on their use abroad because that's where I mostly use them)

    I have the trinity.

    Monzo
    Revolut
    Starling

    All free so why not. I travel abroad with confidence! Will be using Starling for the first time outside of the UK next week.

    What are your use cases for Revolut alongside Monzo and Starling? I have a Monzo and Revolut account but I’ve never really made use of Revolut. Have now forgotten why I signed up for it in the first place.
