    Monzo only allows cash withdrawals of £200 per month fee free though - that's no use for withdrawing currency on holiday. I switched to Starling from Monzo and they work exactly the same only there's no limit on cash withdrawals across a month (except for obviously needing to have the funds in place!)
    The OP asked about paying bills by debit or credit card as an alternative to using cash. Monzo or Revolut ideal for this. I always use them when out of UK and rarely use or need cash. There are other cards similar.

    Monzo's move to being bank accounts removed any advantage they had over Starling, and worse, they have withdrawal limits on foreign currency.

    That's why I stopped my Monzo card and opened a Starling account.

    Of course, Starling may also do something like that, down the line, but until they do...
