Pros and cons
Pros
- Monthly fee of BHD 0 on this prepaid account
- Multi-currency card covering 33 currencies, built for travel
- Visa network, so it is accepted widely abroad
- Support runs through phone, email and chat
Cons
- The card is prepaid, so it holds only what you load rather than offering an overdraft
- It is aimed at business and student, so general personal users get less of a fit
- A single market home base, with support based in Bahrain
Who it suits
- Businesses and students in Bahrain who want a prepaid card for spending abroad
- Anyone who wants to hold several currencies on one card without a monthly charge
- Travellers who pay in a currency other than the one they load
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a credit card or an overdraft facility, which a prepaid card does not provide
- People shopping on headline rates, since Wise lists a monthly fee of £0 with its own conversion pricing
- Users based outside a single market, as CrediMax sits in Bahrain

Frequently asked questions
How much does the CrediMax Cardy EX cost each month?+
The monthly fee on this prepaid account is BHD 0, so there is no recurring charge to hold the card. Because it is a prepaid card, spending is limited to the balance you have loaded, and there is no interest to pay on the card itself.
Is CrediMax regulated in Bahrain?+
CrediMax is listed with the Central Bank of Bahrain, the regulator recorded for the provider in Bahrain. The legal entity behind the card is CrediMax B.S.C., a company founded in 1999 and operating in a single market.
How many currencies can I hold on the card?+
The Cardy EX is a multi-currency card covering 33 currencies, and travel is one of the features it is built around. That lets you load and spend in several currencies from a single prepaid card rather than holding separate accounts per currency.
Which network does the card run on?+
The card runs on the visa network, so it is accepted wherever Visa prepaid cards are taken. It is issued by CrediMax in BH and aimed at business and student, with the multi-currency and travel features as the main draw.
Is the card credit or prepaid?+
It is a prepaid card, not a credit card. You spend from money already loaded to the card, which means there is no borrowing, no interest charge and no credit line. Readers who want a credit card should look at an alternative instead.
Who is the card aimed at?+
The stated audience is business and student, so the card is built for businesses and students rather than the general personal market. It suits holders who want a prepaid balance for travel and multi-currency spending without paying a monthly fee.
How do I get help with the card?+
Support runs through phone, email and chat, which covers phone, email, chat and a help centre. That gives you several routes to CrediMax in BH rather than relying on in-app messaging alone when a card payment needs checking.
