Glint review

Glint's currency conversion fee is 0.9%. That sits at the 1% median for the brands on the site and above the 0% lower quartile. Wise lists 0.1% for comparison, and Monzo Flex and Bitpanda both list 0%.

Glint issues a debit card, not a prepaid or virtual one. Debit cards make up 73.4% of the cards in this comparison. The card runs on the Mastercard network, used by 38.9% of cards here.

A monthly fee is not listed for Glint in the comparison rows, so no figure is set out. Across the brands on the site the monthly fee median is €0, with a range of €0 to €99. Worth confirming before applying.

A free ATM withdrawal allowance is not listed for Glint. The median allowance across the brands on the site is €0, and the upper quartile is €118.23. Cash withdrawals therefore need checking with Glint before you rely on them.

Protection is a comparison field for these cards, and Glint carries no figure in the rows, so the cover on offer is not described. Proof of reserves is reported for 83.3% of the cards in this ranking, which speaks to how a provider backs customer money rather than card losses.

Glint's support channels are listed as help centre, which is a help centre. A help centre is the most common channel here, reported for 79.6% of the brands on the site, ahead of email at 60.9%.

No regulator or licence is listed for Glint, so the site does not name a protection scheme for the money. That matters for readers weighing safety of funds, and it is worth asking Glint directly about safeguarding before depositing.

Glint lists 0.9% for currency conversion. Monzo Flex lists 0% and Wise lists 0.1%, so Glint is the costliest of the three on conversion. Its multi-currency, travel focus is what sets it apart from those alternatives.
