Pros and cons

Pros

  • A monthly fee of $0, so holding the balance adds no recurring charge beyond the conversion cost.
  • Conversion at 2.5% costs less than PayPal Colombia, whose own fee runs 3% to 4% on money you convert.
  • Deposits sit inside the US protection limit, with cover of FDIC up to USD 250,000 stated for the account.
  • No credit check to open, since it sits with the digital-only card in the digital only and no credit check features.

Cons

  • The conversion fee of 2.5% sits above the 2.08% upper quartile, so heavy converters pay more than most rivals.
  • Support runs on email and help centre only, with no phone line or live chat when a card is blocked.
  • A digital-only account, part of the digital only and no credit check features, means there is no branch counter and no cash handling in person.

Who it suits

  • Freelancers and students, the audiences EverTry names in freelancer and student, rather than business or family money holders.
  • Readers who want a dollar balance with a monthly fee of $0 and a no-credit-check opening process.
  • Phone-first users, since the digital only and no credit check features pair a digital-only dollar card with no credit check at all.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Plazo ES, whose monthly fee of €0 is set in euros, suits readers who hold euros rather than dollars.
  • Skrill, for anyone who wants to weigh a support setup beyond the email and help centre offered here before opening.
  • PayPal Colombia, for readers who would rather accept its conversion fee of 3% to 4% than the one charged here.

Safety of your money

EverTry is registered with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network in the US as a Money Services Business, with registration 31000335734427. That registration ties the business to US anti-money-laundering rules. Deposits are covered by FDIC up to USD 250,000, which places the balance inside the US deposit protection limit.

Frequently asked questions

What does EverTry cost to keep?+

The monthly fee is $0, and nothing else is charged simply to hold the account. Converting money costs 2.5%, which is the main ongoing outlay to plan for. Closing the card and each cross-border settlement add their own charge, so keeping the card in use and funded avoids them.

Is my money protected?+

Deposits are covered by FDIC up to USD 250,000, so the balance sits inside the US deposit protection limit. EverTry is also registered with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network in the US as a Money Services Business, under registration 31000335734427. Together these set out who stands behind the money and how the business is supervised.

How much is the currency conversion fee?+

The fee is 2.5% on converted amounts. That is below PayPal Colombia, whose own fee runs 3% to 4%, and it sits above the 2.08% upper quartile of the accounts compared here, so repeated conversion still adds up quickly for heavy users.

Who is EverTry built for?+

EverTry names freelancers and students as its audiences in freelancer and student. The digital only and no credit check features, a digital-only setup and no credit check, suit people opening a first account without a credit history and handling money from a phone rather than a branch.

How do I get help if something goes wrong?+

Support runs on email and help centre, so questions go by email or through the help centre. There is no phone line or live chat listed, which means a blocked card or a failed payment waits on a written reply. Keeping a balance on the card also matters, since it has to hold a minimum to stay active.

Which of the listed alternatives cost less?+

Plazo ES charges €0 and Skrill charges €0, both free in their own currencies, so none of the listed options beats EverTry on the monthly charge. PayPal Colombia is the one to weigh on conversion, where its fee of 3% to 4% runs higher than the 2.5% charged here.
