Our verdict on each
Current
Current suits people who want a no monthly fee account with a Visa debit card, fee-free overdrafts and crypto trading on the same balance. Weigh the currency conversion fee of 3% against a 1% site median, and check what the card costs you abroad.
Zagg Money
Zagg in India describes card activation in its app as the step that sets up UPI, followed by Scan & Pay for merchant purchases. Bank-specific Zagg variants should be treated separately.

Pros and cons
Current
Pros
- Monthly fee of $0 and annual fee of $0, so keeping the account open costs you nothing to run
- Fee-free overdrafts, which means a short dip under your balance does not add a charge to your bill
- Buy and sell crypto with no trading fees, with the account also listed for custodial holdings
Cons
- A currency conversion fee of 3% against a 1% site median, so foreign spending costs more than it does with a low conversion pick
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line when a card is frozen or a payment is disputed
- The account is a charge card in the charge sense, listed at 3.2% against 96.8% for the credit kind, so treat the balance as a sum to clear rather than revolving
Zagg Money
Pros
- The app supports UPI setup and Scan & Pay merchant purchases.
Cons

Questions about each
Current
Does Current charge a monthly or annual fee?+
No. The monthly fee is $0 and the annual fee is $0, so running the account costs you nothing. Money only leaves your balance when you spend it or draw cash, and foreign spending is where a charge can appear. It sits in the same no annual fee group as most compared brands.
How much does it cost to spend in another currency?+
The currency conversion fee is 3%, which is above the 1% site median and well above the 0% lower end. Because the card is on the Visa network, it works abroad, but the conversion charge is the number to budget for. Providers built for travel usually convert at a lower rate.
Zagg Money
Who is the Zagg credit card designed for?+
People whose spending is spread across online shopping, travel, groceries and daily needs are the natural audience for this card. It gathers many routine purchases into one option, so a varied pattern of spending stays under a single roof. Someone who wants one card that handles everyday categories without needing a separate card for each is well placed to consider it. The breadth of those categories is the main reason it draws attention.
Which company runs the Zagg platform?+
The Zagg platform is run by a private limited technology firm that works with partner banks to offer its cards and payment services. Each card is issued by a regulated financial institution. The platform also includes spend insights and financial aggregation, so users can view their money in one place.
