Tirana Bank review

The package is a debit card with a monthly fee of €1. That is above the site median of €0, and it places Tirana Bank 343 among 419 brands compared on monthly fee. If monthly cost is your main filter, check this figure first.

It is a debit card, so spending comes out of the balance you hold with Tirana Bank S.A. rather than a credit line. Debit is also the most common type in this comparison, at 74.3% of the brands listed, so you are choosing the same kind of card as most of the field.

The card runs on visa. Around 58.6% of the brands in this comparison use the same network, the largest share of any network here, so a debit card from Tirana Bank is accepted wherever those cards are.

The account is held with Tirana Bank S.A., the named bank behind the card, so your money sits with the bank that issues it rather than an intermediary. The card from that account is a debit card on the visa network, and the fee is €1 each month.

Accounts that charge no monthly fee exist in this comparison: the site median is €0, and some listed banks, including Wise at £0, charge less than the €1 at Tirana Bank. That gap is the main thing to weigh against the debit card on visa.

For a reader who wants a single debit card and accepts a fixed €1 a month, the account keeps things simple: Tirana Bank S.A. issues the card, and it runs on visa. It suits people who bank in euros and treat the card as their main way to pay.

On monthly fee, Tirana Bank sits at 343 out of 419 brands, so most listed accounts charge less. Its overall score is 1.7 and the cost part of that score is 1.7, which is where the €1 fee shows up.
