Frequently asked questions
How much does New Millennium Bank cost to hold?+
The personal checking account charges a monthly fee of $0, which puts it at 1 of 419 brands ranked on monthly fee. The site median is €0, so this is a common price rather than a rare bargain. Comparable alternatives charge £0 at Wise, €0 at Bitpanda and £0 at Starling.
Is the money in a New Millennium Bank account protected?+
New Millennium Bank holds an FDIC licence, recorded as FDIC cert 35151, and the licensed entity is New Millennium Bank, based in the United States. That licence names the regulator responsible for the bank. What any deposit protection arrangement pays out, and its limits, are set by the regulator's own terms rather than by the bank.
What kind of card does New Millennium Bank issue?+
The card is a debit card, linked to the checking account balance rather than issued as credit. It comes with a personal checking account, which makes it a single-market option for US customers. Debit cards account for 100% of the debit ranking on the site, so this is the mainstream type.
How do I contact New Millennium Bank?+
Support runs on email and phone, which covers email and phone for the bank's US customers. The licensed entity behind those channels is New Millennium Bank, based in the United States, and live chat is not part of the listed set.
Who is New Millennium Bank aimed at?+
It suits US customers who want a personal checking account with a $0 monthly fee and a plain debit card. The bank is licensed by the FDIC under FDIC cert 35151, so it suits people who value a named regulator over extra features. Readers who need several currencies will find a single-market setup instead.
How does the monthly fee compare with other cards on the site?+
Wise charges £0, Bitpanda €0 and the Starling Personal Account Debit Card £0, so none of them undercuts New Millennium Bank on the monthly charge. Its own fee is $0, and the site median is €0. Cost is one area where the choice stays open.
Can I hold several currencies or use the card abroad?+
This is a single-market debit card from a bank based in the United States, so the account is set up for spending in the US. Multi-currency cards account for 34.9% of the brands on the site, and readers who want one of those should look at an alternative instead.
