Greenwood review

Greenwood charges a monthly fee of $0 for the card, and it is a debit card rather than a subscription with add ons. Readers who want a no charge card can compare £0 at Monzo Flex, £0 at Wise and €0 at Bitpanda.

The Greenwood card is a debit card, so it draws on the account balance rather than a prepaid balance loaded in advance. It runs on the mastercard network, which means it is accepted wherever cards on that network are taken. Debit cards make up 73.4% of the listings in this comparison.

Greenwood uses the mastercard network. Cards on that network make up 38.9% of the listings here, against 57.6% for the other widely used network and 3.3% for local only cards. Worth a look before you apply if most of your cards sit elsewhere.

Support runs by email, chat and phone, so email, chat, phone and a help centre are all listed. Across the brands here a help centre appears on 79.6% of listings and phone support on 44.7%, so Greenwood covers the more common routes.

The legal entity behind the card is Greenwood, headquartered in the United States and founded in 2020. That US base shapes the market the mastercard card is built for, and the company name you see on the account is Greenwood.

Greenwood's monthly fee of $0 is priced in USD, while Monzo Flex lists £0 in GBP, Wise lists £0 in GBP and Bitpanda lists €0 in EUR. All four sit at the free end of the 379 brands compared here, so currency and card setup decide between them.

It suits people in US who want a debit card, can reach help by email, chat and phone and pay a monthly fee of $0. Readers in other markets, or those who want a card priced in sterling or euros, have £0 at Wise or €0 at Bitpanda to compare.

Cost carries 6 of the 6 overall score, with the monthly fee of $0 doing most of that work. Card type and network shape what you can pay with rather than what the account costs to hold.
