Our verdict
Bosna Bank International suits customers who want a plain debit card for travel, with withdrawals at BBI ATMs free of charge. The weak spot is spending abroad, where the 1% conversion fee sits far above the 0% that Monzo Flex charges.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Cash withdrawals at BBI ATMs are free of charge, with a free allowance of BAM 0.
- A debit card on the visa network, offered for travel rather than crypto spending.
- Spending comes straight from the account balance, so there is nothing to repay on the card later.
Cons
- The 1% conversion charge ranks 117 of 237 brands, and the site median is 1%.
- The BAM 0 free withdrawals apply at BBI ATMs, so cash from other banks' machines can carry a charge.
Who it suits
- Bank customers who take out cash at BBI ATMs, where the free allowance is BAM 0.
- People who want one debit card for travel rather than a multi-currency travel account for every trip.
- Holders who are comfortable spending from the balance in a current account instead of borrowing.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not for readers who convert currency often: Monzo Flex charges 0% and Wise charges 0.1%, against 1% here.
- Not for Bitpanda card users, whose card converts at 0% against 1% on the bank's card.
How Bosna Bank International compares
Its card converts at 0%, well below the bank's 1%.
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to convert currency?+
Converting currency on the card costs 1%. That matches the site median of 1% and places the bank at 117 of 237 brands on this measure. Purchases priced in another currency are where that charge bites.
Are cash withdrawals free with the card?+
Yes, cash withdrawals with the card at BBI ATMs are free of charge, and the free allowance is BAM 0. Other machines are a different story: the free rate covers BBI ATMs, so a withdrawal at another bank's machine or abroad can carry a charge.
What kind of card is this?+
It is a debit card on the visa network, and it is offered for travel. Because it is a debit card, spending comes straight from the money in the account and the card is limited by the balance available.
Who is the card for?+
The card is built around travel, so it suits bank customers who want a straightforward debit card for daily spending rather than a multi-currency travel account. It also suits anyone who takes out cash at BBI ATMs, where the free allowance is BAM 0.
How does it compare with the other cards here?+
On conversion, the bank's charge of 1% is above the rest of the group: Monzo Flex converts at 0%, Wise at 0.1% and Bitpanda at 0%. Only the free withdrawals at BBI ATMs narrow the gap.
What about spending abroad?+
The card is offered for travel, so trips are the use case it is built for. The catch is the 1% conversion charge each time a purchase is priced in another currency, plus any charge a non-BBI ATM adds when you take out cash.
Where does the bank sit on cost?+
The cost score for the bank is 4.9, with an overall score of 4.9. That reflects free cash withdrawals at BBI ATMs of BAM 0 and a debit card with nothing to repay, weighed against a 1% conversion charge on foreign spending.
