Pros and cons
ABANCA
Pros
- The easy access account pairs a monthly fee of €0 with a 2% headline rate.
- Deposits sit under EU DGS up to EUR 100,000 and the minimum deposit is €0, so the account opens with nothing in it.
- Money is always available with no notice period, which suits an emergency fund.
Cons
- A fixed rate means the 2% return stays put even when market rates climb.
- The 2% headline rate sits below the 3% median across the easy-access accounts listed here, which matters on a large balance.
- Banking depends on the app and online banking, so it suits people comfortable running every payment digitally.
Global66
Pros
- The monthly fee is CLP 0 and the annual fee is CLP 0, so the account costs nothing to hold, where Skrill charges €5 a month.
- Currency conversion costs 0%, which places Global66 at position 1 of 258 brands on this measure.
- The account holds from 3 and is built for multi currency and travel, so several currencies sit side by side.
Cons
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, so a blocked card waits on a written reply rather than a voice call.
- The card is prepaid, so a spent balance has to be topped up again before the next payment goes through.
- Currency reach stops at from 3, which is thin for a trip that crosses several currencies.
Who each suits
ABANCA
Who it suits
- Savers in Spain who want to be paid interest while keeping money reachable at short notice.
- Anyone who wants no monthly charge and a minimum deposit of €0 to get started.
- People who bank in an app and are comfortable holding a fixed rate rather than a variable one.
Who should look elsewhere
- Savers chasing a variable return, since the rate here is fixed.
- Customers who want branch or face to face service, as the account is run through the app and online banking.
- Anyone holding more than EU DGS up to EUR 100,000, where the cap leaves larger balances outside the scheme.
Global66
Who it suits
- Travellers who want a mastercard prepaid card and would rather not pay to convert at the till.
- Anyone keeping more than one currency at work, given from 3 and the multi currency and travel design.
- People who hold spare money in an account and want it to earn, since Unlimited balance, WhatsApp customer support and 3% annual interest on deposits lists interest on deposits.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs a phone line for a blocked card, since help runs on email, chat and help centre only.
- Travellers heading somewhere with more currencies than from 3 in a single trip.
- Skrill customers who want a monthly fee of €5 and a different wallet model.
