Best Bank Ever!!!
I changed to Monzo from Barclays and I am soooo happy with the change. It breaks everything down to categories so you know exactly what you are spending on. You can save pictures of receipts with the transaction too which is handy. The savings pots are easy to access of you can lock them until a certain date which is great if you aren’t good at saving.
