Our verdict

Global Bank of Commerce serves business customers who want a traditional bank relationship rather than a fee-free wallet, and its monthly fee of $10 puts it near the top of our monthly fee ranking. Its 4 currencies sit below the 5 typical here, so cost is the trade-off to weigh.

Frequently asked questions

What does Global Bank of Commerce charge each month?+

The personal banking account carries a monthly fee of $10. Most providers we list charge nothing, and the site median monthly fee is €0. A reader who rarely uses the account will feel that charge every month.

Who regulates Global Bank of Commerce?+

The bank is regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Commission (FSRC) in Antigua and Barbuda. It is a licensed bank rather than an e-money provider, so the money sits with the bank itself. It trades as Global Bank of Commerce, Ltd..

How many currencies can I hold?+

The bank supports 4 currencies, which is below the 5 median across the site. It ranks 183 out of 379 providers on this measure, so heavy converters should look further.

Can I open a joint account?+

Yes. Joint accounts are one of the listed features, which is useful for a business owner who needs someone else to have access to the same balance. The application is handled through the bank's application centre.

How do I get help?+

Support runs on email and phone, so you can reach the bank by email or by phone. No live chat or help centre is listed among the support channels, which matters if you prefer in-app messaging.

Is this account for businesses or individuals?+

The audience listed for the bank is business, and its corporate banking service is the main draw. Personal banking also exists, which is where the $10 monthly fee is published.

When was the bank founded and where is it based?+

The bank was founded in 1983 and is based in Antigua and Barbuda. That length of trading history matters for a business account, where continuity of the banking relationship counts.

Is a monthly fee worth paying for this bank?+

It depends on what you use. If you want a regulated bank with joint account access and phone support, the fee of $10 buys that. If you only need somewhere to hold a balance, the free options below cost less.
