More Monzo 
from The Telgraph today -
Is this the greatest travel accessory you’ve never heard of?

It has also proved significantly cheaper than using my normal bank cards. In Rome last month I made two withdrawals of €100 from a cash machine using the cards, one immediately after the other. Using my Monzo card, the app immediately showed a provisional debit of £86.78, which was later revised down to £85.84. Using my First Direct current account card, which uses the Visa system, I was charged £85.98. First Direct also billed me a 2.75 per cent “non-Sterling fee” of £2.36, and an ATM charge of £1.75. In all it worked out nearly five per cent more expensive than the Monzo card.
