Another vote here for Wise – it is a properly licensed UK bank that offers comparable services and rates to Revolut without the downsides.

Revolut have blocked my account several times for spurious ‘compliance’ reasons. The most recent time I just stopped using them (luckily I didn’t have any funds on account when the block was applied). A couple of months later, without me responding to any of their ‘robot’ correspondence and certainly with no additional KYC materials provided, they unblocked my account, sending a template email saying “Thanks for verifying your income. We’ve finished reviewing your submission and everything is in order!”. As I say, I hadn’t provided them with any additional information over and above what they already held on file – a Mickey Mouse outfit!
