Layfield, who chairs British International Investment and is a former Google and Standard Chartered executive, will take over from TS Anil in February next year.

Layfield is also a non-executive director at AstraZeneca.

Anil said: "There’s never a right time to step away from an incredibly special company that’s so close to your heart.

"It’s always been my belief that great leaders make way for others - it’s something that’s been done before at Monzo when the baton was handed to me, and it’s why the business will continue to go from strength-to-strength under Diana’s leadership.

"I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve all achieved together and most importantly, for our customers. It’s been a journey full of Monzo magic, and I’m so excited to see what comes next."
