Our verdict
Zenus Bank suits people who want one card for spending and travel and do not mind paying for it: the monthly fee is $19.99. It is a debit card on the visa network, with a virtual card and travel features on the account.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Free ATM withdrawals of $0 cover cash needs without extra cost
- The account includes a virtual card and travel features

Cons
- A monthly fee of $19.99 makes it costly next to bunq at €0 and Wise at £0
- The monthly fee sits at rank 411 of 422 brands
Who it suits
- People who want a virtual card for online spending alongside a physical card
- Holders who pay in several currencies and want travel features on the account
- Anyone who takes out cash often enough to value free ATM withdrawals
Who should look elsewhere

Frequently asked questions
What does Zenus Bank charge each month?+
The account carries a monthly fee of $19.99. That is the main cost to weigh, and it sits at rank 411 of 422 brands. The card itself draws on your balance rather than lending, so there is no interest charge to pay on the card.
Can I take out cash without paying?+
Yes, the account allows free ATM withdrawals of $0. That ranks at 44 of 124 brands on this measure. The median across the comparison is €0, so many rivals offer more.
What kind of card is it?+
It is a debit card that runs on the visa network. Debit card is the norm in this group, at 100% across the ranking. The card spends money you already hold rather than offering credit.
Does the account include a virtual card?+
The account features a virtual card alongside its physical card, plus travel features. Both are listed as account features. The virtual card suits online spending where you would rather not use a card that is sitting in a wallet.
How does Zenus Bank compare on cost with free alternatives?+

Who does this account suit?+
It suits people who travel, hold several currencies and want both a physical and a virtual card from one account. The travel features and virtual card are both on the account. Readers who want a free monthly fee will find cheaper options.
Is there any protection or regulation in place?+
The account is a debit card, and the monthly fee of $19.99 is the only recurring cost stated. No protection scheme is listed for this account, so check what cover applies to your balance before you fund it.
