Whether High Street banks will survive Corona is another topic though!

Starling and Monzo are real banks. I highly recommend both of them.

I'm using Starling but bank balance currently exceeds the FSCS protection limits - might be worth signing up for a Monzo business account too I think.
Edit - well that was easy. Took less than 5 minutes.Last edited by TheCyclingProgrammer; 18 March 2020, 11:28.

Hi all,
I know some of you are using the e-money service companies for business accounts. These are not banks. They claim they keep your money in safeguarded accounts (whatever that means) and it is not at risk.
What do you think about that? You recon this is good enough to keep your LTD's money safe or we should stick to FSCS banks?Tags: None
