    I believe Rev. are not FSCS protected for your money £85k whereas Monzo are. Not 100% sure but check.
    That's correct - though FSCS doesn't cover crypto, so not very relevant. Once you have bought crypto, you are on your own.

    I was referring to the funds in the bank account before you bought the crypto - but yes, after buying crypto you are on your own as far as FSCS concerned

    So, we now have a situation where NatWest pick and choose what we can spend our money on.
    No we don't. We have a situation where NatWest choose they don't want to be party to certain things.

    I first of all would stop using Coinbase as they are robbers with their extortionate fees. Maybe have a look here if you want to trade like a Pro
