The company behind it
BSP is the legal entity BSP Financial Group Limited, headquartered in Papua New Guinea and founded in 1957, so it is a long established bank rather than a new app. Support runs through phone, email and help centre, which means a phone line, email and a help centre, and the Plus Saver is opened in branch rather than online.

Frequently asked questions
What does the everyday account cost to hold?+
The Pacific Standard account is a no monthly fee account, with a monthly fee of SBD 0. That puts it at the same level as the €0 for accounts across the market. Money is held and spent locally in the Solomon Islands.
Is there a savings account that pays interest?+
The Plus Saver pays interest monthly, so savings earn while staying available. It is an easy access account rather than a fixed term product, and most savings accounts on the site take a variable rate, with 79% appearing most often.
How much do I need to open the saver?+
The Plus Saver takes a minimum deposit of SBD 20. That is higher than the €0 figure seen across savings accounts on the market, though many of those have a €0.11 of €0.11.
How do I open the savings account?+
The Plus Saver is opened in branch, so you need access to a branch rather than signing up from home. Support runs through phone, email and help centre, which includes a phone line and a help centre if you want to check what to bring.
How many currencies can I exchange?+
BSP's foreign exchange service covers 16 currencies. For comparison, the 5 for multi currency accounts on the market sits below that, while 350 is the highest figure in the wider set.
How long do international transfers take?+
Transfers are delivered in 1-3 business days, which is a short window for money travelling across borders. Payout runs through bank, so funds land in a bank account rather than a wallet or a cash pickup point.
What support can I reach?+
Support covers phone, email and help centre, which means a phone line, email and a help centre. That compares with the wider market pattern, where 86.1% and 79.5% are the most common channels.
Is this account aimed at students?+
The everyday accounts are listed for a student audience, which fits anyone opening a first bank account. The Plus Saver suits the same group, since easy access keeps the savings side flexible while the everyday account stays free on SBD 0.
