Pros and cons

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.

Satispay

Pros

  • A monthly fee of €0, and Satispay ranks 1 of 500 on cost
  • Transfers between Satispay users are Real time, instant between Satispay users, and the transfer fee to contacts is €0
  • Savings pay 2.61% at a variable rate from a €0 minimum, with immediate availability

Cons

  • The savings yield of 2.61% trails the 3% site median
  • Cash pickup is not among its payout methods (bank, wallet and card), which cover a bank, a wallet or a card
  • The currency conversion margin runs 0.5% to 1%, above the 0.9% site median

Who each suits

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%.

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
