Pros and cons
Pros
- Monthly fee of IDR 0, so the account carries no recurring charge
- Listed features are multi currency and virtual card, giving multi-currency accounts and a virtual card beside the debit card
- Support runs through email, phone and help centre, covering a help centre, email and phone
- The card runs on mastercard, so it works at ordinary card terminals
Cons
- It is a debit bank card and the listed features are multi currency and virtual card, so crypto exchange and coin functions sit outside the offer
- ID is the only country listed, so it does not suit readers who need an account across several markets
- Launched in 2021, which makes it a younger operation than the established names on this list
Who it suits
- People in ID who want a debit card at a IDR 0 monthly fee
- Multi-currency spenders who also want a virtual card for online payments
- Customers who prefer a bank-issued card from an entity listed under Otoritas Jasa Keuangan and Bank Indonesia
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after crypto trading or coin coverage, where Wise runs multi-currency accounts at a £0 monthly fee
- Readers who need a debit card beyond ID, where Monzo Flex runs a £0 monthly fee in the UK
- Shoppers after a crypto card with coin spending, where Bitpanda lists a €0 monthly fee
Safety and regulation
The money sits with a bank rather than a crypto operator. Blu is listed in ID under Otoritas Jasa Keuangan and Bank Indonesia. Because the card is a debit card on the mastercard network, balances are held at the bank rather than on an exchange, so the usual exchange withdrawal risk is not part of the setup.
Who runs it
The operator is PT Bank Digital BCA, headquartered in Indonesia, and the service launched in 2021. The legal entity is a BCA digital bank, so the product is a bank account with a debit card attached rather than a trading platform. Support runs through email, phone and help centre, so a help centre, email and phone are all in place.
