Pros and cons

Pros

  • A monthly fee of €0 and an annual fee of €0, so holding the account costs nothing.
  • Cashback on everyday spend: the rewards type is cashback and the scheme is named Cashback+.
  • A debit card on the mastercard network, the most used on the site at a share of 38.5%.
  • Position 1 of 419 brands ranked on monthly fee, where its fee of €0 matches the site minimum of €0.

Cons

  • The free monthly fee is not a differentiator: Wise, Varo Believe Secured Credit Card and Chime Card also charge £0, $0 and $0.
  • The card is labelled a debit card with a card kind of credit, so check which label a comparison table uses before reading it against others.
  • Acceptance is tied to mastercard, so anyone heading to markets built on a different network may want a wider choice.

Who it suits

  • Readers who want a card that pays cashback through the Cashback+ scheme without any holding cost.
  • Everyday spenders set up for mastercard who would rather earn cashback than pay a €0 monthly fee.
  • Readers who want a plain card and a cashback scheme, with no €0 annual charge at the end of the year.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Wise, which also charges a monthly fee of £0, so the fee itself will not decide between the two.
  • Chime Card, a secured Visa credit card with a monthly fee of $0, aimed at credit building rather than cashback on a debit card.
