N26

N26 is a Berlin-based mobile bank with a full German banking licence and €100,000 deposit protection, offering a polished app and fee-free card spending at the mid-market rate. It is EUR-centric and limited to around two dozen European markets, so it is not a true multi-currency account. Best for clean everyday banking within the Eurozone.

  • No FX markup on card spending
  • Clean, well-designed mobile app

Zápory

Starling Bank

Starling Bank is a fully licensed UK app bank with FSCS-protected deposits, no fees on overseas spending or ATM withdrawals, interest on balances and highly regarded free business accounts. It is one of the strongest all-round UK options, especially for freelancers and small businesses, though it is UK-only and GBP-focused.

Závěr
