It is interesting that you should say that, because last year I tried to open an online (only) bank account. I live in the Netherlands and finally chose for N26, but I was surprised by the large amount of online banks in the UK. Like Monese, Monzo, Revolut, Starling, ANNA, Tide, etc etc

Yes, they're all VC backed with bags of cash though. Credit unions, community banks, building societies etc find it impossible to do this.

Also, the only two among that list that I know to be actual banks - rather than prepaid card providers - are Monzo and Starling.
