    Monzo is quick to get and I switched to Natwest with no problem.

    I opened a barclays basic account this month for the same reason, it was very easy and straightforward although I do hold a barclaycard which may have made the process easier.

    +starling. No hard check (like monzo). But only one new account per year (unlike monzo).
  • I got the NatWest switching bonus from switching from a Barclay's account set up just as a donor account for the switching offers.

    CoOp, never had to go into a branch to prove who I am unlike a lot of other banks when I registered for the first time (e.g. Barclays, TSB).

    Monzo/Starling are quick and easy to open and both are eligible for CASS. Otherwise any bank where you have an existing relationship will be quicker and easier to open new accounts with since you won't have to go through the whole process verifying your ID
