Pros and cons

Pros

  • Loans of PGK 1,000 to PGK 20,000 over a term of 6 to 24, credited same day crediting
  • A monthly fee of PGK 0 and a minimum deposit of PGK 2 on the savings account
  • The listed personal, business and secured options cover personal and business borrowing alike
  • Help is reachable on phone

Cons

  • The card runs on the local network, so it is of little use outside the domestic market
  • Support runs on phone only, with no email or chat route given
  • Borrowing stops at PGK 1,000 to PGK 20,000, which will not cover larger purchases

Who it suits

  • People already drawing regular pay in the public or private sector who want a debit card for everyday costs
  • Savers who want a easy access account paying 0.5% from a low minimum deposit of PGK 2
  • Anyone planning a modest expense who needs borrowing funded same day crediting

Who should look elsewhere

  • Skrill suits you better if you want a prepaid card for online and wider spending
  • Plazo ES offers a virtual card, a different route to short term credit than a debit card
  • AccessMore's prepaid account is aimed at loaded everyday spending rather than a easy access account

Rates and card terms

Interest on the savings side is a headline 0.5%. Borrowing is arranged over a term of 6 to 24, which suits anyone repaying a set monthly amount rather than borrowing open ended. Read them as separate choices: what you earn for holding money, and how long you take to clear money you have borrowed.

The company behind it

MiBank trades as Nationwide Microbank Limited, is headquartered in Papua New Guinea, and has been trading since 2004. That long history matters if you want an institution that has stayed in a single market. Questions are handled on phone, so reaching the bank means picking up the phone rather than filling in a form. The same bank runs the savings and loan products you would pair with the card.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to keep MiCash?+

The savings account from the same bank runs a monthly fee of PGK 0 and asks for a minimum deposit of PGK 2, which is a low bar for a first account. The card is tied to a easy access account, so you can hold and spend without locking money away for a fixed term.

Will the card work outside Papua New Guinea?+

Not really. It is a debit card on the local network, so it is built for domestic use. If you spend abroad often, compare a prepaid card or a prepaid account instead, since those are set up for wider money movement.

How quickly can I get a loan?+

MiBank describes same day crediting on its loans, so an approved application does not sit for long. Borrowing runs from PGK 1,000 to PGK 20,000 over a term of 6 to 24, which suits a planned expense rather than a large one. MiBank is a direct lender, so you deal with a single provider from application through to payout.

Who can open an account?+

MiBank lends mainly to people already drawing regular pay in the public or private sector, and the savings side asks for a minimum age. That points the product at salaried workers rather than anyone starting out, and once you qualify the debit card and a easy access account are straightforward to hold alongside each other.

How much interest do I earn?+

The headline rate is 0.5%, paid on deposits above a stated threshold, and the account is easy access, so interest accrues while your money stays available. With a monthly fee of PGK 0, the cost side stays light for a first saver.

How do I get help?+

Support runs on phone. That makes a call the route in, and no email or chat channel is set out in the profile. If you would rather have written replies or a self service desk, a wider institution may serve you better.

What kinds of loan can I take?+

The listed personal, business and secured options cover most needs, from a personal loan to car or business borrowing. Borrowing is aimed at people already in regular paid work in the public or private sector, and amounts run to PGK 1,000 to PGK 20,000 over a term of 6 to 24.
