Best UK Current Account?

Hi everyone,

I'm moving to the UK for a new job next month, and I need a recommendation on which bank to open a current account with. I see that Starling is being praised all over and their offer seems quite reasonable - has anyone had any experience using them as their main bank?

Alternatively, I liked the Club Lloyds account, any thoughts?

Thank you and have a great holiday!

I use Monzo.

I use others too like BOS. your balance is only covered up to £80k in each acct in case the firm face financial/liquidty issues.

you can use Goldmans service (Martin/marvin or something corny like that) to deposit @ ~1% interest

 

Marcus I think, idk how they come up with these names
