I've been using Monzo for some while but since I've moved away from London for a while, I couldn't give them a UK address for the new checking bank account. I have been using the original Monzo prepaid debit card and was happy with it but that was discontinued.

Funny enough, I am also a long time TSB customer which is a bank mentioned in the article. Ignoring their huge mess around migrating users to new platform (made by Spanish bank that owns them now), their mobile app is surprisingly good.

Given I travel a lot and have lived in multiple countries, I have several bank accounts so I don't rely on any single one.
