Frequently asked questions
How much is the monthly fee on FriMi?+
The monthly fee is LKR 0. That makes the card a low cost option for everyday spending, with no recurring charge to budget for. The card is a debit card, so your own account balance covers your spending.
Can I spend more than one currency with FriMi?+
Yes, the card has multi-currency support, which is one of its listed features. That suits people who keep funds in more than one currency and want a single card for spending them. It is the main reason to pick FriMi over a plain single market debit card.
Which card network does FriMi run on?+
The card runs on mastercard. So acceptance follows that network, and the card is not a Visa product. If Visa acceptance matters to you, a card on Visa would be the alternative to compare against.
Is FriMi a debit or credit card?+
It is a debit card, which means purchases draw on the money in your account. There is no credit line and no interest charged on balances. If you want to build a credit record instead, a secured credit card is the route to compare.
Who issues FriMi?+
The card is issued by Nations Trust Bank PLC. That is the named legal entity responsible for the account behind the card. The operation is based in Sri Lanka, which makes it a single market service.
Is FriMi available outside Sri Lanka?+
The service is based in Sri Lanka, so it is set up for Sri Lanka. It suits residents who want a debit card for local spending plus multi-currency use. Anyone based elsewhere would need a service in their own market instead.
What kind of card is FriMi?+
It is a debit card on mastercard, with a monthly fee of LKR 0. The debit format means no credit check style borrowing sits behind it. Multi-currency support is the feature that sets it apart from a basic single currency debit card.
