> As a customer of N26 and Natwest/Barclays I feel that N26 in my experience has won in every category.

And if NatWest were the only competition in this market, I’m sure N26 would have done fine. Monzo, Starling and Revolut all have far superior products and market offerings however.

Oh for sure, Monzo and Starling I've heard very good things of. Revolut doesn't have a banking license so hesitant to include them here.

That’s not completely accurate. Revolut has a specialized banking license, which means they can offer a limited range but not investment banking services.

Do you have more details on that? FCA only lists a e-money license.

Revolut also has a Lithuanian retail banking license. They were planning to become a UK bank as well but I haven’t seen anything about the recently.
