Pros and cons

Pros

  • It is a debit card from a bank, so it works from the balance in the account rather than asking you to top up first.
  • The same lender offers debit and credit cards, so everyday spending and borrowing can sit in one place.
  • The BAM 2.69 monthly charge is a fixed sum that is easy to budget for, unlike a card priced mainly by percentage.

Cons

  • Fees of BAM 2.69 a month sit above the €0 median across the cards in this comparison, so the cost runs every month.
  • Wise charges £0 a month and Varo Believe Secured Credit Card charges $0, both well below the BAM 2.69 this card costs to hold.
  • For a card kept mainly as a backup, BAM 2.69 a month is hard to justify when the debit ranking shows most cards at €0 or less.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Credit card shoppers building secured credit, since Varo Believe Secured Credit Card charges $0 a month.
  • Anyone after a secured credit card rather than a bank account card: Chime Card (Secured Visa Credit Card) charges $0 a month.

Frequently asked questions

What does a ZiraatBank BH card cost each month?+

The published monthly charge is BAM 2.69 for the debit card. It is a standing cost, not something you pay at sign up, and it sits above the €0 most cards in this comparison carry, so the card only earns its cost if you use it often.

Is this a debit card or a credit card?+

The account is listed as a debit card, which means spending comes out of the money in the account rather than on a borrowing arrangement. ZiraatBank BH also publishes details for credit cards, so both kinds run through the same lender.

How does that monthly fee compare with other cards?+

ZiraatBank BH charges BAM 2.69 a month, while Varo Believe Secured Credit Card charges $0, Wise charges £0 and Chime Card (Secured Visa Credit Card) charges $0. If you only need somewhere to keep a card, the others cost less.

Who is this card for?+

It fits people in Bosnia and Herzegovina who want a debit card for everyday spending and would rather bank with a lender than hold a standalone card account. The BAM 2.69 monthly charge is the price for that, and it suits customers who will use the card rather than keep it as a backup.

What about spending abroad and currency conversion?+

Spending abroad on this debit card should be weighed against the 1% median conversion fee across the site. Cards built with no foreign fee sit at a 0% median, so a customer who regularly pays in other currencies will find a specialist account cheaper.

Can I get cash out at an ATM?+

Cash withdrawals are worth checking first. Across the site, free allowances reach €118.23 a month, and cards in the debit ranking sit at €177.93 or less. On a debit card costing BAM 2.69 a month, confirm the allowance before you rely on cash.

Do I need good credit to open one?+

The card is a debit product, so approval leans on the account itself rather than on a credit check in the way credit cards do. That makes it reachable for customers with a thin credit history, and it keeps the BAM 2.69 monthly charge as the only stated cost.
