The current account for freelancers and self-employed people.

Working for yourself creates some unique challenges when it comes to money. We all know what the big banks are like for fees, slow transactions and pretty poor customer service. Just like Monzo for personal current accounts Coconut have developed the Coconut freelancer current account designed for the gig economy.
