Halifax for credit card, Starling for debit card. Both do no extra fees and good rates, both can be topped up easily, advantage of Starling is my phone pings when the transaction goes through when SWMBO spends.
Both used via phone or watch so no digging out the plastic or risk of card being skimmed. Here in Aus you can do contactless via a ring!

I have a Revolut card on the iPhone and to be honest when I figured out how to use it I thought it was prett good. Saves cash and losing it also

Well, at every update the interface gets worse and less useful.
They recently lowered the "no fees" limits, and increased the commissions.
On their web site community plenty of people complaining about locked accounts and no access to their money, some for a lot of money.
Very difficult to contact support.
Was planning it to use it for a big payment in foreign money to another country, given the good exchange rate, but now a bit(a lot) wary.
