Pros and cons
Pros
- A currency conversion fee of 0% puts it at the top of the field on conversion cost, ahead of the typical 1% charged across cards on DebitCue.
- A monthly fee of CLP 0 and an annual fee of CLP 0 mean no cost simply for holding the account, where some prepaid rivals charge €5 each month.
- The card is a Mastercard, so it works in the wider network rather than a single scheme or a local scheme only.
- Deposits earn interest, an unusual addition for a prepaid account that usually just holds money.
- Support covers email, chat and help centre, with a help centre for questions that do not need a person.
Cons
- Card type is listed as prepaid by one provider and as credit by another, so confirm which applies to your own account.
- The card type is prepaid, so the balance is loaded ahead of spending rather than drawn from a bank account.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre, so anyone who wants to talk to someone by voice has fewer options.
- Currencies are limited to from 3, which is a narrow range for anyone holding more.
Who it suits
- Travellers who want to pay abroad without a currency conversion charge
- Anyone who wants to hold a few currencies and spend from them without a monthly or annual cost
- People who keep money in a prepaid account and want that balance to earn interest
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants a debit card linked to a bank account rather than a prepaid balance
- Travellers who need a wide range of currencies, since the account covers from 3
- Skrill users who already pay €5 and want a card with no monthly charge, or anyone who needs support by phone
Everyday use
Global66 is a prepaid card on the Mastercard network, so it is accepted wherever Mastercard is taken and draws on money you have already loaded rather than on a bank account overdraft. Support runs on email, chat and help centre, which covers written and online help without needing a branch. For everyday spending the practical points are straightforward: a card that pays out normally once it is topped up, and help available when a payment needs checking. The card type is listed as prepaid rather than debit, so the money in the account is yours to hold and spend in the way you choose.
Using it abroad
The currency conversion fee is 0%, so spending in another currency does not carry the conversion charge that many cards apply. That is the main draw for travel, and it is the figure on which this card ranks highest among the brands DebitCue compares. Because the card runs on Mastercard, it can be used abroad wherever that network is accepted, and the conversion cost stays at 0% rather than rising at the point of sale. The account holds from 3 currencies, which covers the common cases for a trip.
Fees and FX
There is a monthly fee of CLP 0 and an annual fee of CLP 0, so the cost of holding the account is nothing, and the model is listed as one with no annual fee. The currency conversion fee is 0%, which is the figure that matters most for anyone spending outside their home currency, since a fee of 0% is well below the 1% seen across the cards on DebitCue. With no monthly charge and no conversion charge, the running cost of this prepaid account sits at the bottom of the range.
The company behind it
Global66 is run by Global 81 SpA, which is based in Chile, and the business was founded in 2018. It is a Chilean fintech operating a multi-currency account with a travel focus, and the card is issued as a prepaid Mastercard. Support runs on email, chat and help centre, so customers deal with the company directly by email, chat or the help centre rather than through a bank branch network.

Frequently asked questions
What does Global66 cost to hold?+
There is a monthly fee of CLP 0 and an annual fee of CLP 0. The account is listed as one with no annual fee, so the cost of keeping the card open comes down to what you spend and convert rather than a standing charge.
What is the currency conversion fee on the Global66 card?+
The currency conversion fee is 0%, which is lower than the 1% charged across the cards on DebitCue. It ranks first among the 259 brands compared on this measure, which is the main reason to pick it for spending abroad.
Is the Global66 card a debit card or a prepaid card?+
It is listed as a prepaid card, so you load the balance first and then spend from it, rather than drawing on a bank account. One source also describes the card as a credit card, so treat the account as a loaded balance rather than a credit line. Either way the monthly fee is CLP 0.
How many currencies can I hold and spend?+
The account covers from 3 currencies and is built as a multi-currency wallet, which suits a trip involving more than one currency. It is a focused range rather than one that covers every currency you might need on a long trip.
Do I earn anything on the money I hold?+
Deposits earn interest, which is unusual for a prepaid account that otherwise just stores money for you. Combined with a monthly fee of CLP 0 and a currency conversion fee of 0%, it means holding a balance has a cost attached to it rather than being completely passive.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on email, chat and help centre, so you can reach the company by email, chat or the help centre. There is no phone line listed, which suits people who prefer to resolve a query in writing and keep a record of it.
Who runs Global66 and where is it based?+
The account is operated by Global 81 SpA, based in Chile, and the company was founded in 2018. It is a Chilean fintech, so the account is built around holding several currencies and paying abroad rather than around a domestic current account.
Which network does the card run on?+
The card is a Mastercard, so it is accepted wherever that network is taken, including abroad on a trip. Paying in another currency still costs 0% in conversion, which is what makes it useful for travel spending.
