Pros and cons

Danske Bank Mastercard Guld

Pros

  • Combines credit functions with debit functions in a single everyday card
  • Offers optional trip cover that can sit beside card use
  • Includes network extras alongside standard credit use

N26 Go

Pros

  • No foreign conversion cost on the currency conversion fee of 0%, against a site median of 1%
  • Cashback of 1% on spending outside the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, paid as cashback
  • Free ATM withdrawals worldwide, a clear step up from a site median free withdrawal allowance of €0

Cons

  • The annual fee of €118.80 is a real cost, and the site annual fee median is €0
  • Cashback is limited to spending outside the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, and it stops after a set period
  • Support runs through phone and help centre, so the dedicated phone line is reserved for members paying the annual fee

Who each suits

Danske Bank Mastercard Guld

Who it suits

  • Travellers wanting added cover with everyday use

N26 Go

Who it suits

  • People who travel regularly and pay in several currencies each year
  • Travellers who still take cash out at the machine and want free ATM withdrawals worldwide
  • Members who will use travel insurance and airport lounge access more than once a year

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone spending only inside the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, where the cashback does not apply
  • People who want a cheap everyday debit card, since Varo Believe Secured Credit Card charges a monthly fee of $0
  • Bank customers who will not use travel insurance, lounge access or dedicated phone support, all of which come with the membership
