Do you live and/or work in Europe, an expat, or a freelancer planning to travel to Europe as a digital nomad?
If any of the above apply, you’ll know it’s essential to have access to your money and for your funds to be safe and secure while you’re on the go.
So, below, I'm looking at the best online banks in Europe, briefly summarizing what each offers so that, hopefully, by the end of this round-up, you'll have a better idea of which (if any) of these financial services best meet your needs.
Have you reviewed your finances and feel you could manage your money better? For example, maybe you’ve split your banking across different online platforms depending on the use case, such as day-to-day transactions, savings, or investments? And now perhaps you’re looking for a comprehensive solution?
With that in mind, today, we’re focusing on one digital banking option: Monese. It’s a digital banking platform as well as a money transfer service. In this Monese bank review, we’ll provide the low down on who Monese is, its pros and cons, its prices, what you get for your money, its functionality, and try to answer any questions you may have too.

Mobile banking and transferring money online have never been more convenient. Two popular online banking and international money transfer services are Wise and Monzo. Both offer a range of services customers can use via their mobile apps.
Wise is essentially an online account that enables you to send money overseas and get paid in different currencies. You can also use the Wise card to spend abroad. In contrast, Monzo is a fully-fledged digital bank.
However, how do you choose between the two?
Below we’ll look at their prices and features to help you answer that question. There's lots to cover, so let’s make a start.

Monese and Revolut are both digital banking services offering a variety of benefits designed for business and personal banking. With their instant currency exchange and payment protection, they also make travel a breeze, and it is easy to transfer and manage payments from the convenience of their mobile app, available on both Android and iOS.
What has changed since we first compared them is the thing that now matters most. Revolut is a fully licensed UK bank, and Monese is not. Revolut Bank UK launched in March 2026 after the Prudential Regulation Authority lifted the restrictions on its licence, so eligible deposits are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Monese still operates as an e-money business, and it is now owned by fellow UK fintech Pockit.
So where do these services differ in 2026, and what is the best option if you are looking for a business or personal account? We are covering everything you need to know to help you decide which (if either) is the best choice for you.
