Pros and cons
Nu Colombia
Pros
- A COP 0 monthly fee, so running the account is free
- Unlimited free transfers to any Colombian bank or digital wallet, plus COP 1 free ATM withdrawals a month
- A variable yield of 0.1%, credited daily in the app
Cons
- A yield of 0.1% sits well below the 3.08% savings median
- The rate is variable, so the 0.1% yield can move rather than hold for a term
- Free cash withdrawals are capped at COP 1 a month, and the balance is otherwise moved by transfer
Revolut UK
Pros
- Access is instant in the app, with fee-free withdrawals and no withdrawal limits.
- Support runs on chat, phone and help centre, so a phone call or email is possible when the app is not enough.
- Regulated in the UK and in Europe: the account is run by Revolut Payments UAB, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Lithuania.
Cons
- The rate type is variable, so the 4% can move and nothing is fixed for a set period.
- The savings sit with a savings deposit partner rather than the brand itself, and the account licence type is e money.
- On headline rate the account ranks at 142 of 473 brands compared, so the return is competitive rather than exceptional.
Who each suits
Nu Colombia
Who it suits
- Colombian residents who want a peso account for daily spending
- People who move money often and want unlimited free transfers to local banks and wallets
- Holders who accept a variable low yield in exchange for no monthly charge
Who should look elsewhere
- PayPal Colombia, which lists a headline rate of 3.3% against 0.1% here
- AXI Card, which shows 21.59% for anyone chasing the rate rather than free transfers
- Plazo ES, which lists 24.19% for anyone focused on rate rather than free local transfers
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%.
