Looking at the actual report, only Monzo and Revolut (yes, I haven't heard of them either) are "crypto friendly". The others could best be described as wary and watchful.


Monzo and Revolut are well-known in the UK, I use Monzo myself and have for several years.


While Monzo is cryptocurrency friendly [0] they don't allow payments to binance [1] however thats down to a Consumer warning on Binance from the FCA [2] so I think thats basically a industry wide thing not just a Monzo thing. Silly enough, if you have a paypal account and a PayPal debit card you can use that card on Binance.

Monzo has been known for freezing accounts at the drop of a hat in the past, possibly for cryptocurrency related reasons if /r/Monzo is to be believed.

Revolut is not a good bank.


Revolut sells crypto


...and is not a licensed bank (UK).


That licence is taking a very long time to process ...
