- The issuer has traded since 1996
Cons
- A monthly fee of KGS 100 is charged, above the €0 typical of the debit cards compared here

Who it suits

- Chime Card (Secured Visa Credit Card), whose monthly fee of $0 is lower than the KGS 100 charged here
Who runs it
Eldik Bank OJSC is the legal entity issuing the card, headquartered in Kyrgyzstan and founded in 1996. The bank serves a single market, and account questions run through phone and email, which lists phone and email. Anyone comparing providers can weigh that long trading history alongside the size of the fee.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Eldik Bank card cost each month?+
The card carries a monthly fee of KGS 100, which is the running cost of keeping the account open. The annual fee is listed at KGS 0, so the monthly amount is the only recurring charge to plan for.
Does the card pay any rewards?+
Yes, the card pays cashback of 2% on spending. The rewards type is recorded as none, so there are no points schemes or miles to track alongside the cashback. The cashback rate is the whole rewards offer here.
Is this a debit card or a credit card?+
It is a debit card, so it draws on the balance in the account rather than a revolving credit line. Spending is paid from money already held, and the rewards type listed is none, with cashback of 2% doing the work.
Which payment network does the card run on?+
The network is listed as local, which points to acceptance inside the home market rather than a global scheme. Cardholders who mostly spend at domestic merchants will find that suits them, while frequent travellers will find a local network less convenient despite the travel tag in the virtual card and travel list.
Does the bank offer a virtual card?+
The feature list for the account includes virtual card and travel. A virtual card suits anyone who wants to keep card numbers away from a shared or public computer, and the same list also tags the account for travel use.

The issuer is Eldik Bank OJSC, a bank founded in 1996 and based in Kyrgyzstan. Support runs on phone and email, so questions about fees, cashback or the card itself can go by phone or by email.
How does the monthly fee compare with other debit cards?+

Who is the card aimed at?+
