Pros and cons

Current Build Card

Pros

  • Annual fee of $0 and APR of 0%, which places the card at 1 on annual fee out of 301 and at 1 on APR out of 133
  • Opened for poor credit, poor, with a secured structure alongside rewards in rewards and secured
  • Fee-free overdraft, a wide in-network ATM allowance and cash deposits at retail locations sit in Paycheck advance up to $750 with qualifying direct deposit, Paycheck up to 2 days early with direct deposit and Fee free overdraft

Cons

  • A currency conversion fee of 3% applies abroad, against 0% on the Varo Believe Secured Credit Card and 0% on the Chime Card
  • Support runs on email, chat and help centre, which leaves no phone line for an urgent dispute
  • Rewards are points redeemable as cash back, so a reader after a richer scheme gets less from spending here

Qonto_AT

Pros

  • Annual card fee of €0, and card insurance covers travel, business purchases and fraud.
  • Multi-currency, virtual card and travel features come with the Mastercard.
  • Deferred debit is available at no extra cost on Plus and X Cards.

  • Conversion at 2% is above the site median 1%.
  • Spend earns nothing back, with a rewards type of none.

Who each suits

Current Build Card

Who it suits

  • Adults in the US with poor credit who are turned down elsewhere, since the card is aimed at poor credit
  • US residents paid by direct deposit who can use the early paycheck and savings features in Paycheck advance up to $750 with qualifying direct deposit, Paycheck up to 2 days early with direct deposit and Fee free overdraft
  • Households wanting a single account covering a card, a savings pot and a teen account under the same provider

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone spending heavily abroad, because the 3% conversion charge applies where the Varo Believe Secured Credit Card charges 0%
  • Card users who want to talk to someone on the phone, since help runs on email, chat and help centre only
  • People who want miles or a transferable points scheme, as this card pays points redeemable as cash back

Qonto_AT

Who it suits

  • A sole trader or small company paying staff and suppliers from the same euro account.
  • Businesses spending across from 30 currencies that keep a balance in each.
  • Teams wanting a virtual card for subscriptions next to a physical Mastercard.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone after cashback on spend, since the rewards type here is none, so Chime Card (Secured Visa Credit Card) is worth a look.
  • Anyone without a company behind the account, as Qonto is built for business customers and Wise serves personal money.
  • Anyone building a credit record first, for whom Varo Believe Secured Credit Card is the secured option.

Questions about each

Current Build Card

Is there an annual fee on the Current Build Card?+

The annual fee is $0, so the card costs nothing to keep open. That puts it at 1 on this measure out of 301 brands, and at the €0 site median. A reader who worries only about holding a card open finds nothing to pay here.

Will I pay interest on a balance?+

The APR is 0%, so a balance carried does not grow through interest on this card. It ranks at 1 on APR out of 133 brands, and the site median APR is 20.97%. The card is listed as a charge card in charge terms, so payment terms still matter even without interest.

Qonto_AT

What does a Qonto business account cost each month?+

The account itself is billed at €9 a month, while the card carries an annual fee of €0. Overdraft borrowing is charged at 17.5%, and currency conversion on the card costs 2%. Card spend itself adds nothing, so the running cost depends on borrowing and on how often you pay in another currency.

Who supervises Qonto in France?+

Qonto is supervised in France by ACPR (Autorite de Controle Prudentiel et de Resolution), recorded as 16958. The French register lists the same authority as PSD_PI FR_ACPR!68677, and France is the headquarters country. Both entries point to the same French body, so the account sits under a single named supervisor.
