    Starling saved my bacon whilst on holiday abroad in May.

    I received instant notifications about a Netflix subscription I knew nothing about and also a declined transaction via a site called dealbest that i'd never heard of.

    It now transpires that I was a victim of the recent Ticketmaster breach.

    Without these notifications I could have returned home to god knows what kind of carnage. Having the notifications enabled me to block my card via the app and order a replacement which was ready for me in my letterbox on my return home.

    This alone means it's worth holding onto both Starling and Monzo.
