    Revolut is probably a decent shout, so long as you're comfortable with your funds being outside FSCS (i.e. if Revolut go bust you are an unsecured creditor, likely will only get a small amount of what you're owed back and nothing for many months). Keep the account balance down to no more than a month's spend would be my advice if you go down this route.
