What is the best bank for bank accounts?

Incoming A1 at IB in London and need to figure out what bank I want to be with. What is the best bank in London to be with for current account, savings etc? Also would be great to hear how much I should put towards investing and who I should invest with?

If your IB has a retail offering, ask for their rates and conditions for employees. It might work in your favor.

Lloyds is good for current accounts.

IG is good for trading.

for casual spend/everyday items I would recommend Monzo (debit)

for FX or travel, Revolut is interesting

I am just evaluating CHASE UK/JPM - let's say.. very new and niche, app is crude, card stopped working a few times.
