Our verdict
Bankily runs a prepaid account from Banque Populaire de Mauritanie, with a monthly fee of MRU 0 and a Mastercard for spending. It suits people in Mauritania who want a multi-currency prepaid card without a monthly charge, and less likely those who want a wider help centre or a named deposit protection scheme.

Frequently asked questions
What does Bankily cost each month?+
The prepaid account carries a monthly fee of MRU 0, so there is nothing to pay for keeping the account open. A monthly fee of €0 is the middle of the prepaid accounts on the site, so Bankily sits at the common end of the range.
Is Bankily a prepaid card rather than a debit card?+
Bankily is listed as a prepaid card, which means you load the balance first and then spend it. Only 20.4% of the accounts on the site are prepaid, against 74.3% for debit, so prepaid is the less common choice here.
Which network does the Bankily card run on?+
The card runs on the mastercard network, so it should be accepted wherever Mastercard prepaid cards are taken. Mastercard appears on 38.5% of the accounts on the site, against 58.6% for Visa.
Does the Bankily account hold more than one currency?+
Yes. Multi-currency is a listed feature of the account, which suits anyone who deals in more than one currency. 34.9% of the accounts on the site carry the same feature, and 51.4% include it as well.
How do I get help from Bankily?+
Support runs on email and phone, so you can reach the bank by email or by phone. 69.7% of the prepaid accounts on the site offer phone support and 69% offer email.
Who runs Bankily and where is it based?+
Bankily is the digital banking service of Banque Populaire de Mauritanie, based in Mauritania. The bank has operated since 1998, which gives the prepaid brand a long banking background behind the app.
