Pros and cons

Current

Pros

  • Deposits are covered by FDIC up to USD 250,000, which is the detail a new saver should check.
  • The stated audience is teen, and the account kind is easy access.
  • Pods open on demand in the mobile app with no notice period, so a set-aside stays flexible.

Cons

  • The 0.25% to 4% range has a low floor, so a pod can earn very little for stretches.
  • Support runs on chat, email and help centre, so there is no phone line for urgent questions.
  • Currency conversion costs 3%, which makes it a weak base for holding travel money.

Mox Bank

Pros

  • A monthly fee of HKD 0 on the account, with a no monthly fee and low fx pricing model.
  • Transfer fees of HKD 0 on Express Remit transfers, paying out to bank and wallet.
  • Interest is credited daily and the savings balance is usable for daily purchases.

Cons

  • The savings rate of 0.001% sits far under the 3% common across the accounts compared here.
  • The service is digital only, so everything runs through the app rather than a branch.
  • Transfers can take 20 seconds to 1 week to arrive.

Questions about each

Current

What does it cost to run a Current account?+

The monthly fee is $0 and the model is no monthly fee, so there is no standing charge to watch. Bank transfers are listed as $0 - no bank transfer fees. The cost that does apply is currency conversion at 3%, which matters if money is held or spent in another currency.

How do I move money in and out?+

Transfers run over us ach, so money moves through the US system. Bank transfers carry $0 - no bank transfer fees, and the minimum deposit is $0.01, so a small transfer is enough to open a pod and add to it later.

Mox Bank

What does Mox Bank charge to keep an account open?+

The account carries a monthly fee of HKD 0, and the pricing model is no monthly fee and low fx. That matches the €0 median monthly fee across the accounts compared here, which leaves the account among the cheapest digital banks to hold.

How much interest do I earn on Mox savings?+

The headline rate is 0.001% and the rate type is variable, so the return can move rather than staying fixed for a term. Interest is credited daily to the Mox Account, and the savings balance can be spent on everyday purchases. Readers shopping for yield should compare the 3% median here.
