Pockit - can be used in atm or at counter. Fees are low. Works well for us

my son has a Santander Basic account which has a debit card so he can’t get overdrawn. We have a lasting power of attorney and control how much is in his account. Only snag is more places (like buses) have only contactless readers. He carries a small amount of cash for this.
