Pros and cons
Pros
- A monthly fee of DJF 0 means holding the card costs nothing
- It is a debit card, so spending comes straight from the balance in your Exim Bank account
- The card is built around travel, the category that covers 51.4% of the cards on the site
- Debit cards here split 59.8% Visa and 34.6% Mastercard, so a Mastercard card is a common pick
Cons
- The range is a debit card only, so there is no prepaid or virtual option from the same bank
- travel is the single feature the card is built around, so there is little beyond the basic card
- Visa covers 58.6% of the cards on the site against 38.5% on Mastercard, so the mastercard network has the smaller share here

Frequently asked questions
How much is the monthly fee on the card?+
The monthly fee is DJF 0, so the card costs nothing to hold. It is a debit card on the mastercard network, built around the travel use case. Varo Believe Secured Credit Card, Wise and Chime Card (Secured Visa Credit Card) each show a monthly fee of $0, £0 and $0 in their own markets.
Is this a debit card or something else?+
It is a debit card, so the money comes from the balance in your Exim Bank account. That is the opposite of the secured credit cards among the alternatives, where Varo Believe Secured Credit Card and Chime Card (Secured Visa Credit Card) borrow against a deposit and charge a monthly fee of $0 and $0.
Who is this card aimed at?+
The card is built around travel spending, so it fits people in Djibouti who want a debit card for trips rather than a credit line. With a monthly fee of DJF 0 there is no charge for keeping it, which suits a second or backup card as well as a main one.
Which card network does it use?+
It runs on mastercard. Across the cards on this site, 58.6% use Visa and 38.5% use Mastercard, so a Mastercard debit card sits alongside the larger Visa group while staying on a network many readers already hold.
How does the monthly fee compare with other cards here?+
A monthly fee of DJF 0 puts it among the lowest costs here, where the site median is €0 and the highest is €99. Providers that charge for the account sit further up that scale, so a card with no monthly charge is worth holding for spending.
Is there a charge for using it while abroad?+
The card is built for travel use and runs on mastercard, with a monthly fee of DJF 0, so the card itself adds no cost while you are away. Wise is worth a look if you want an account quoted in a different currency, with a monthly fee of £0.
Would a prepaid or virtual card suit me instead?+
This card is a debit card, and prepaid and virtual cards are a different part of the market, with 74.3% of the cards on the site debit against 20.4% for prepaid. If you want a short lived virtual card for a single trip, this product does not cover that.
