NCB Jamaica vs Revolut UK

NCB Jamaica

Who it suits

• People living and working in Jamaica who want everyday banking with a monthly fee of JMD 0.
• Students, teens and freelancers, who sit within the listed audiences (expats, business and freelancer).
• Anyone who banks mainly in Jamaican dollars and wants round the clock access through ATMs, telephone banking, online banking and the mobile app.

Who should look elsewhere

• PayPal Colombia, for readers who want a wallet balance rather than a bank account paying 0.55% to 1.2% interest.
• Plazo ES, for readers who would rather hold a card balance than meet a JMD 5,000 entry deposit.
• Skrill, for readers whose income arrives by transfer rather than through an ATM allowance of JMD 4.

Revolut UK

Who it suits

• Savers who want instant app access and no charge for holding the balance, rather than a card and credit deal such as AXI Card Tarjeta y Credito at 21.59%.
• Travelers, freelancers and teens, the audience named in travelers, freelancer and teen, who want 30 currencies and a conversion fee that runs 0% to 1%.
• Anyone starting out with a wallet, since PayPal Colombia is the listed alternative at 3.3% and this balance pays 4% with iban details.

Who should look elsewhere

• Savers shopping on the headline rate alone: the listed alternative Plazo ES shows 24.19% and AXI Card Tarjeta y Credito shows 21.59%, both far above the 4% paid here.
• People who need the return fixed for a set period, since the rate type is variable and the balance is easy-access by design.
• Customers who want the deposits held by the brand itself: the account licence type is e money and the savings sit with a savings deposit partner, a different structure from the listed wallet alternative PayPal Colombia at 3.3%.
