Monzo, the UK mobile-only bank, also has an API: https://developers.monzo.com/

Teller is not a bank itself though. I believe it started as a wrapper around banks' private APIs, not sure whether that's still the case.

To be fair, Monzo isn't either. They don't have any of their own infrastructure yet, it's just a third party rebranded prepaid card.

That's not true. They recently received a banking license (https://monzo.com/blog/2017/04/05/banking-licence/) and they have built their own platform (https://monzo.com/blog/2016/09/19/building-a-modern-bank-bac...).

But monzo card is still just prepaid debit card. You don't get a current account.

That might change later this year when they roll out current accounts but for now it's just simple prepaid/travel debit card with mobile app.

Also not sure they have switched from WireCard yet? Last time I heard they have not switched all of their existing users to their own platform but perhaps they managed the transition already?
