Who each suits

FNB Botswana virtual card

Who it suits

  • Readers checking the retained FNB Botswana company identification and service categories.

Satispay

Who it suits

  • Everyday spenders who want an account with no monthly charge and free transfers
  • Travellers paying in several currencies who weigh the conversion fee before the rate
  • People holding a savings balance they can draw on immediately, with no lock in

Who should look elsewhere

  • Skrill or bunq if you want a different provider altogether, since their conversion fees of 3.99% and 3% mean switching does not cut your cost
  • PayPal Colombia if you want a wallet for international shopping rather than an everyday euro account
