Our verdict

Pros and cons
Pros
- The prepaid card carries a monthly fee of BHD 0.
- The card covers 33 currencies, with multi currency and travel among the listed features.
- Cards run on the visa network, which covers 57.6% of the cards in this comparison.
- Support runs by phone, email and chat, so a card query has several routes.
Cons
- The card is prepaid rather than a debit card, so spending runs on a topped-up balance.
- CrediMax is based in Bahrain, so the card is built for a single market.
- It is aimed at business and student users rather than general everyday spending.
Who it suits
- Business users in BH who want a prepaid card at a BHD 0 monthly fee.
- Students named in business and student who want a card with a BHD 0 monthly fee.
- Travellers carrying several currencies on a visa card, since the card covers 33 currencies.
Who should look elsewhere
- Wise, whose monthly fee is £0, suits readers who want more than a prepaid card in a single market.
- Monzo Flex, whose monthly fee is £0, for readers who want day to day spending outside BH.
- Bitpanda, with a monthly fee of €0, for readers shopping the crypto cards where CrediMax's prepaid offer may not fit.
Who runs it
The card is issued by CrediMax B.S.C., which has been based in Bahrain since 1999. Support runs by phone, email and chat, so a card query can go to the help centre, over email, on the phone or in a live chat. The Central Bank of Bahrain licenses the issuer, which keeps the card squarely in the domestic market.

Frequently asked questions
What does a CrediMax card cost each month?+
The monthly fee on the prepaid card is BHD 0, which covers keeping the card active. Monthly fees across the cards in this comparison top out at €148.23, so CrediMax sits at the free end of the range. Costs on spending itself are a separate matter from this monthly figure.
Is the CrediMax card a debit card or a prepaid one?+
It is prepaid. You load funds onto the card and spend from that balance, rather than paying straight out of a current account each time you tap. The network underneath is visa, so it works at the usual acceptance points.
How many currencies can the CrediMax card handle?+
The card covers 33 currencies. The features CrediMax lists are multi currency and travel, so carrying several currencies on a single card is the point of the product rather than an extra. That suits readers who spend across different markets rather than staying in a home currency.
Which payment network does the CrediMax card use?+
The prepaid range runs on visa. Visa accounts for 57.6% of the cards in this comparison, so a CrediMax card sits with the larger group rather than the minority. That makes it an easy fit alongside other cards on the same network.
Who runs CrediMax and who regulates it?+
The issuer is CrediMax B.S.C., based in Bahrain and founded in 1999. It is licensed by the Central Bank of Bahrain, which is the regulator for the market it operates in. The company is business and student focused, so the cards are built around those users.
How do I reach CrediMax support?+
Support runs by phone, email and chat. That means the phone, email, chat and help-centre routes are all open to cardholders. Questions about card limits, currency balances and the prepaid structure can go through any of them. The help centre is the quickest starting point for card questions, and chat suits quicker ones.
Who is the CrediMax card aimed at?+
The stated audience is business and student. Those are the groups CrediMax builds for, and the multi-currency, travel side of the card fits both. Readers after a full current account may find the prepaid setup narrower, and the card is a single-market product from BH.
