I have been a client of MetroBank since a few years ago and just love it. My recent experience with Aldermore has also been nice.

Anyone tried any of the others?

I was very happy with MetroBank until I moved away from London; they don't have a branch in Manchester yet. Also, their debit card now charges for purchases outside of Europe so they would charge me for AWS purchases.

Now I'm with Halifax; the customer service is no where near as good, but at least I have a Mastercard with free foreign currency transactions.

My Halifax branch staff have always been wonderful; fortunately for me, said branch is five minutes' walk from my office so I can basically go via there when walking into town to scavenge lunch. Otherwise, yeah, YMMV.
