Do I need to provide active bank statements alongside my 500k savings statement for the Soft Power visa application from London?

Applying in London via soft power Route. Have got the 500k seasoned in bank account, but I rarely use this account. Just to store savings, but it is a current account in my name. Will this be a problem submitting the statements with not much activity?

Should I also provide statements from my monzo with no saving but what I use for day to day payments showing regular activity? Can put a brief letter to explain why I’m showing both account. Do you think it’s necessary? Or just my account with my 500k savings will be suffice?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is applying for a visa in London through the soft power route and has a 500k deposit in a current account. They are concerned that their bank statements show little activity and are considering whether to include statements from a secondary account with regular transactions. Responses suggest that low activity is generally acceptable and that it may not be necessary to include statements from the second account.

London is very flexible with the 500K and will accept very recent deposits in accounts with low level of activity.
