Don't hesitate to try a Monzo account

For anyone considering a Monzo account, I'd say go for it. Easy to use, great features, and a decidedly friendly and genuinely customer focused approach. If legacy banks are like a hearse (slow and dependable) then Monzo is a zippy Vespa living the dolce vita.
