Monzo the marketing website for the bank, uses Cloudflare.

If you go through the DNS logs for the Monzo app, you'll see everything else goes direct... Google, Facebook, Status Page, AWS.

With the only exception being some image assets:

    dig monzo-prod-user-images.imgix.net
    
    ;; QUESTION SECTION:
    ;monzo-prod-user-images.imgix.net. IN A
    
    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    monzo-prod-user-images.imgix.net. 2280 IN CNAME dualstack.com.imgix.map.fastly.net.
    dualstack.com.imgix.map.fastly.net. 4 IN A 151.101.18.208

There are still plenty of customer-data-carrying things which do go over cloudflare - e.g. the internet banking, the public API, in-app webviews, etc

The Monzo web interface uses the public API too.
