Trust me Santander's is one of the better apps out of the brick and mortar banks... They are my main current and savings account.

I keep the current account because it's a grad account and it's a free overdraft should I need it. 

Other accounts I have: Barclays premier, Monzo, starling, NatWest. If you're looking for the best app it's Monzo probably. Starling is good if you get cheques regularly (i.e. if you live in 2005) because you can process them on the app. Barclays app is absolutely horrendous. NatWest is okay.

Right now I'm primarily using the Barclays Avios Plus credit card for the 100k Avios points scheme. Also have an Amex and other random credit card.

 

Pretty average. If this is your first amex credit card I'd try and get the best sign up deal you can get. Many people go for AMEX gold for the Avios points sign-up bonus. Do some more digging. If you fuck up your first amex, you have to wait 2 years (without an amex) until you're eligible as a new customer again (i.e. until you can get sign up offers again).
