Their app experience is mostly stellar, but I wouldn't say the same of their support, and the fear that one's account would be locked because they hit some undisclosed limit.

I haven't had to deal with TransferWise's support yet, but I've heard that it's one of the "better" ones.

Any bank account can be locked at any time because an algorithm disagrees with you, traditional or online. That's just the reality of banking, especially in the post-HSBC scandal era. I wouldn't keep my savings in Revolut for sure, but it's not really designed for that.

If you pay for the premium/metal plan, the support is stellar as well (or at least, it has been for me)
