Helpful
I have been with this bank for many years, their interest rates are good and they give good incentives to use them to pay bills and have always been helpful and efficient dealing with any problems. When I had problems with scammers, they were very helpful & supportive. It is also very useful to be able to use our local Post Offices to do Santander transactions and they have kept a good number of Santander branches open, which is especially helpful to us older customers.

Pros
Cons
Our verdictRevolut is an all-in-one banking and investment app loved by millions. Revolut offers banking, saving, spending, investing, foreign exchange and cryptocurrency services to 50 million individual customers and 500k businesses around the world. Is Revolut good for investing?Revolut is a good choice for investors that want to buy and sell major shares and cryptocurrencies. No funds, or smaller cap stocks, but a good entry-level account for most investors. One of the most commonly asked questions about new banks and fintech is if they are a safe place to keep your money. The answer is generally, yes, if they are regulated by the FCA as funds are protected by the FSCS up to £85,000. But, Revolut, is regulated as an e-money institution and not as a bank so you do not get the FSCS protection. Revolut says that if they were to go bust, client funds would be paid out of a "safeguarding" account which is a type of ringfenced account where client funds are held. When funds are in this type of account, Revolut cannot (in theory, at least) lend them out or use them to run the business. This is how banks traditionally made money, they pay you a smaller amount of interest than they receive on the money they lend out and make a profit from the difference (among other things). For small money transfers, Revolut is safe enough, but as with all currency conversions if you are sending over £10,000 abroad you should be using a currency broker. You'll get much better rates, more control over when you buy and sell, help with all the AML (anti-money laundering) issues that may come up, and the ability to lock in the currency exchange rate for up to a year in advance (if you think it will move against you).
