4.5Lowest fees

The bank's own page names the monthly account charge. Transfer and card prices were not read on that page, so this score speaks only for the monthly charge. It reads: “After 12 months, you'll pay £8.50 per month” · source

4.5Fast digital onboarding

Holds a banking licence, so it can hold deposits and run payments; the actual terms have not been checked yet. · source

4.0Cross-border payments, FX and multi-currency accounts

Its own business page names SEPA, so payments can leave the country. The score stops at 4.0 because the page did not give the currencies the account holds or the margin on the exchange rate, and the rubric needs both to go higher. · source
