Pros and cons
COCA Card
Pros
- The monthly fee is €0 and the currency conversion fee is 0%, so spending abroad adds no extra cost.
- Cashback of 8% is paid on a debit card, so the reward does not depend on borrowing.
- Free ATM withdrawals of $250 cover cash needs away from home without a fee.
Cons
- Support runs on help centre and community only, so there is no direct phone line for urgent account problems.
- The account is self custody, a minority set-up in this group, so readers used to ordinary bank accounts should read the terms closely.
- The card is built around crypto, virtual card and self custody features, which narrows it to people already using digital assets.
HSBC Hong Kong Mastercard Debit Card
Pros
- A monthly fee of HKD 0 and a currency conversion fee of 0% mean spending abroad adds nothing extra.
- Cashback of 0.4% on a card listed for multi-currency and travel use across 12 currencies.
- The card runs on the mastercard network, so it works abroad wherever Mastercard is accepted.
Cons
- Free ATM withdrawals come to HKD 0, so cash machine withdrawals carry a charge from the first one.
- Cashback of 0.4% is modest, and the card is built for kids rather than as a general spending card.
Who each suits
COCA Card
Who it suits
- People who want a fee free visa card for a trip and need $250 in free cash withdrawals.
- Spenders who want cashback of 8% paid on a debit card without borrowing.
- Anyone comfortable with self custody who wants the balance held in their own hands.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants a credit card for borrowing rather than a debit card: Varo Believe Secured Credit Card and Chime Card are credit products, and the monthly fee here is €0.
- Readers who want phone support: this card runs on help centre and community, and its monthly fee of €0 matches £0 at Wise, so support is the deciding factor.
- Anyone who prefers the custodial model most cards on the site use, at 75.6%, since this account is self custody.
HSBC Hong Kong Mastercard Debit Card
Who it suits
- Hong Kong residents who want a Mastercard debit card with no monthly charge.
- Parents buying a child's first card, since the card is listed for kids.
- Travellers who spend in several currencies and want no conversion charge.
Who should look elsewhere
- Chime Card (Secured Visa Credit Card), if you want to build a credit record rather than use a debit card. Its monthly fee is $0.
- Wise, if a different account model suits you better. Its monthly fee is £0 too, so the switch is about the account rather than the cost.

Questions about each
COCA Card
What does COCA Card cost to hold and to use?+
The monthly fee is €0 and the currency conversion fee is 0%, so there is no charge for keeping the account or for converting currency on a trip. Cashback of 8% is the reward on offer, and the card draws directly on the balance you hold.
How many free ATM withdrawals are included?+
The free ATM withdrawal allowance is $250, which covers cash withdrawals abroad without a fee. In the site rankings the card sits at 20 out of 115 brands on this measure, so the cash allowance sits below the middle of the group.
HSBC Hong Kong Mastercard Debit Card
What does the HSBC Hong Kong Mastercard Debit Card cost to hold?+
The monthly fee is HKD 0, so holding the card adds nothing to the account. Because it is a debit card, spending comes straight out of the bank balance rather than a credit line, and the account holder keeps control of the money in it.
Is there a foreign transaction or currency conversion fee?+
The currency conversion fee is 0%, so spending in another currency does not add a conversion charge on top. The card is listed for multi-currency use and for travel across 12 currencies, and it runs on the mastercard network.
