    Wowsers.

    Probably Tinder rather than either of the two mentioned? ;)
    I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.

    Nice typo.

    I'm assuming you mean app based banking. Out of the big two, I prefer starling myself. I don't have monzo to be fair but my brother does and i've compared the two.

    Starling for me, although having used HSBC in the past and now using Halifax, of the two options I would pick Halifax.

    But usability of the banking app is very low down on my bank selection criteria.

    Out of the two bonking apps it would need to be Halifax by a mile.

    HSBC is about the same level as First Direct funnily enough. Or otherwise known as crap.
