I remember reading about Monzo bank in the UK a lot some 5 years ago. I’m curious how they are doing these days. Seems like they’re still operating?

They're doing quite well it seems. Everyone I know seems to have an account with them.

They've had a full, unrestricted bank licence since 2017 and have over 9.3m customers[1].

I used them during their beta phase and they were my primary bank until I left the UK. Exceptional service, and the only app from a UK bank that wouldn’t have made you want to cry with how awful it was.
