In this episode of Banking Without Borders, we ask the big question now that Revolut is a proper UK bank: should it be your main bank account?

We break down what actually matters in a main bank account, from trust and FSCS protection to support, savings, rewards, travel spending and everyday usability. We also look at where Revolut genuinely stands out, where it falls short, and whether the app-first experience is enough to replace Barclays, HSBC, Monzo, Lloyds, Starling, Nationwide, Chase or Zopa. 

We cover:

•  What Revolut’s UK banking status changes 
•  Whether FSCS protection makes Revolut more trustworthy 
•  The strengths and weaknesses of Revolut support 
•  Everyday banking features like pockets, salary sorting and virtual cards 
•  Whether Revolut is still a top choice for travel spending 
•  Why its savings rates may disappoint 
•  Whether RevPoints are worth anything on the free plan 
•  Who Revolut works best for, and who should probably stick with a different bank 

If you’ve been wondering whether Revolut is finally ready to be your salary account, this episode is for you.
