The company behind it
The card comes from Second February Limitada, a company registered in Costa Rica and founded in 2014. It works as a payments business, so an account here is built for holding balances and paying merchants rather than for savings. Support is handled through a help centre, which suits self sufficient customers who are comfortable finding answers themselves rather than calling a line.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Advcash card cost each month?+
The account carries a monthly fee of $0, and it sits in the no monthly fee group that makes up 91.7% of the site. AXI Card, XTB and Skrill list monthly fees of €0, €0 and €0, so the real differences sit in currency handling rather than standing charges.
How much do I pay to convert currency?+
The exchange rate markup is 0%, better than the site median of 0.9% and the everyday accounts median of 0%. That figure is also the floor of a range that reaches 6.7%, so conversions sit at the cheap end of the market here.
What are the fees for transferring money to a card?+
Top ups and transfers to the card run 1% + 1 USD/EUR, which includes a fixed component of $1. Currency conversion fees elsewhere on the site reach 7%, so it is worth comparing the transfer charge against the amount you plan to move before you commit to the card.
How long does the card take to arrive?+
Delivery is 2-6 weeks free standard delivery, express available. Plan for that window before a trip rather than ordering the card a few days before departure, and keep using the balance already held while the card is on its way.
What currencies can I hold?+
The wallet covers from 30 currencies, which compares with a multi currency median of 5 and a site median of 5. Holding several currencies side by side is normal here rather than an exception, which suits a trip that crosses several currency areas.
How do I get my money out?+
Payouts run to bank, card and wallet, so a bank account, a card or another wallet can receive the balance. A bank payout is the most common route across the site, listed for 88.5% of brands, which makes it the sensible default when money needs to move home.
Is my money protected the way a bank protects savings?+
The company behind the card is registered in Costa Rica and runs as a payment and wallet business, so a balance here is payment money rather than a deposit a bank would hold under a protection scheme. Keep only what a trip needs in the account and treat longer term savings with a different provider.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?+
Support runs through a help centre alone, so there is no phone or email route to fall back on. Phone support is the more common channel on the site at 79.5%, so anyone who prefers to talk a problem through may pick a provider with wider support.
