Our verdict

BBVA Aqua Más suits Spanish customers who want a credit card with no annual fee and solid perks. The €0 annual fee sits at the top of the annual fee ranking, but foreign currency conversion costs 3% on every purchase made abroad.

How it compares on our data

On annual fee, BBVA Aqua Más ranks 1 out of 301 brands, since the €0 fee matches the lowest tier of the market. On currency conversion the position is weaker at 147 out of 181, as 3% costs apply abroad. The two figures together give the shape of the offer: cheap to hold, dearer to use overseas.

The company behind it

It is registered with the Comision Nacional del Mercado de Valores under licence MiCA CASP K8MS7FD7N5Z2WQ51AZ71.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an annual fee on the BBVA Aqua Más card?+

No. The annual fee is €0, which puts the card at 1 of 301 brands on that measure. The card is a credit card, so a balance can be carried and repaid later rather than paid in full each month.

What does it cost to use the card abroad?+

Currency conversion costs 3% on a purchase made in another currency. That places the card at 147 of 181 brands, so customers who spend abroad often should weigh that cost before applying.

Do I need a good credit history to be accepted?+

The card asks for good credit rather than a perfect record, so a good credit history is the entry point. Applicants with a weaker history may be declined, since this is a credit card extended on the strength of the credit file.

Which perks come with the card?+

Contactless payments and mobile payment through BBVA Pay come as standard. The travel accident insurance, the overseas cash and currency offer, the cash back on streaming subscriptions and the train discounts sit on other cards in the same range, so check which card carries the perk you want.

How do I reach customer support?+

Support runs through email, phone and chat. A card question can go to the bank by phone, by email or by chat, which covers most of the ways customers get in touch with a credit card provider.

Who is behind the card and where is it based?+

The card is issued by Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A., which is based in Spain and was founded in 1857. It is listed by the Comision Nacional del Mercado de Valores under licence MiCA CASP K8MS7FD7N5Z2WQ51AZ71.

Who is the card aimed at?+

It suits customers in Spain who want a credit card with €0 annual fee and everyday payment features. It suits people who already hold good credit, and who would rather hold a card for a year than pay a fee for the privilege.

Is it worth choosing over a cheaper alternative?+

The trade-off is holding cost against spending cost. The €0 annual fee cannot be beaten, but the 3% currency conversion charge is the price of that, so the card favours everyday spending at home more than spending abroad.
