Republic Bank Grenada review

The monthly fee is $3.45. Across the cards tracked here, the median monthly fee is €0, so this is a standing charge rather than a free account. It ranks 368 of 419 brands on monthly fee, which is a fair sign of where it sits on price.

Free ATM withdrawals come to XCD 0 under the published rates. The median free allowance across the site is €0, and some cards here allow far more. If you take cash out often, it is worth budgeting for a charge on every withdrawal.

It is a debit card, so spending comes straight out of your account balance and there is no borrowing. Debit cards make up 74.3% of the cards compared here, which makes this a common type of account. A credit card works differently, with balances repaid later.

The card runs on visa, the network behind the largest share of the cards compared here at 58.6%. That should mean the card is accepted at shops and machines across many countries, which keeps everyday use straightforward.

Support runs on phone and email, so phone and email are the routes in. Phone is the channel 67.3% of the cards here rely on, and email reaches 58.1% of them, so keeping your account details to hand should speed things up.

The account is held with Republic Bank (Grenada) Limited, which is based in Grenada. A bank operating from Grenada suits readers who bank locally and want the card for spending at home, rather than someone opening an account built for holding many currencies.

Its cost score is 1.1 and its overall score is 1.1. The median monthly fee across the brands listed is €0, and the top of the range reaches €99, so price is this card's clearest weakness.

Wise has a monthly fee of £0, Varo Believe Secured Credit Card charges $0, and Chime Card has a monthly fee of $0. Each of those sits below $3.45 on this card.
