Starling or Mettle?
Ive had a massive security breach with my present bank of 20yrs (Santander) they have allowed 12 payments all go out over 3 days fraudulently totalling over £3500 Ive been refunded today while they "investigate" but clearly their Realtime security and geographical systems didnt trigger a stop and I only logged in after getting a fraudulent scam text otherwise Id still be here oblivious and no doubt more payments going out - so overnight done alot of research.. In my research with AI for an alternative Free business bank Ive whittled it down to Starling (modern tech superior to Santander) or Mettle (Similar modern tech but Free accounting software as MTD comes in for me next year) - AI told me that Amazon wont accept old Mettle e-money accounts but will accept new ones - so not sure about this - Anyone using Mettle on Amazon to confirm this?
My other alternative is to leave my Santander account just accepting Amazon deposits and Ill transfer them out to my new account as Im honestly worried about falling into verification (I know it will but its a can of worm I dont want to open, who does) - Anyone changed their bank account on Amazon trouble free?

I moved my business account to Starling several years ago and have been happy with the service. The accounting add on, which is £7 / month, is basic but supports MTD including for sole trader VAT. I can't see any reason it won't support MTD as it expands.
