I agree. I'd also add that my experience with fintech services, in regards to fraud detection, has been excellent.

I've been using Revolut for the past year. Just 2 weeks ago, they detected a potential fraudulent transaction with - you guess it - Deliveroo, for an amount of £25 (I don't live in the UK). The transaction, as well as my card, was immediately blocked. I then received a push message asking me to confirm whether the transaction was fraudulent - pushing "Confirm" triggered the expedition of a new card to my address. In contrast to legacy banks for which it is still recommended you call on the phone to notify you're going abroad, this is excellent service.

They obviously vary, but my British legacy bank no longer wants to be told when I'm going abroad.

I don't use their app. If they suspect a fraudulent transaction, they block it and call me.
