Our verdict

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The conversion charge is 0%, below the median of 1% for cards on the site.
  • Multi-currency and travel features (multi currency and travel) on accounts aimed at business, student and kids users (business, student and kids).
  • A prepaid card on the Mastercard network (mastercard), accepted wherever Mastercard is taken.

Cons

  • Support runs on help centre only, with no live channel named.
  • The card is prepaid where Monzo Flex is debit, so anyone set on a bank-linked debit card will need a different brand.

Scored 8.9 / 10 by HodlCue.

Who it suits

  • People who want one multi-currency card for day to day spending and travel (multi currency and travel).
  • Business owners who want a prepaid card separate from personal spending (business, student and kids).
  • Students and parents opening a first account for a child (business, student and kids).

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone set on a bank-linked debit card rather than a prepaid one should try Monzo Flex, which lists debit.
  • Wise, at 0.1% on conversion, fits people who expect to pay a charge on every currency change rather than the 0% listed here.

Trading and withdrawal fees

The monthly charge is £0 and the currency conversion charge is 0%, so both fees that usually decide a card comparison sit at nothing for HyperJar. The monthly figure covers keeping the account open, and the conversion figure is the charge for changing currency. Anyone budgeting a card on those two lines starts from a low cost base here.

How HyperJar compares

Frequently asked questions

What does HyperJar cost to keep each month?+

The monthly fee is listed at £0, so there is no recurring charge on the account as described. Currency conversion is listed separately at 0%. Those are the two fees this comparison covers, and both sit at nothing in the listings.

What does it cost to change currency?+

The currency conversion charge is listed at 0%, which is why multi-currency spending and travel are among the account's features (multi currency and travel). Wise, by comparison, lists 0.1% for the same thing, so the gap between the two is the whole difference on this line.

Is the card prepaid or debit?+

It is prepaid, and it runs on the Mastercard network (mastercard), so it is accepted wherever Mastercard cards are. Monzo Flex, listed alongside, is debit, so the two differ by card type rather than by the monthly fee of £0 here.

Which network does the card run on?+

The card runs on mastercard, so it is accepted wherever Mastercard is accepted. Both listed fees, the £0 monthly charge and the 0% conversion charge, sit at nothing, so the network is the practical thing to check.

Who is HyperJar aimed at?+

The account list covers business, student and kids users (business, student and kids), and the feature set is multi-currency and travel (multi currency and travel). That points to a card for people who want spending control across everyday and travel payments, and for households setting rules for a child.

How do you get help?+

The listed support channels are help centre. No live chat or phone line is named in the listings, so questions go through written help. Anyone who needs a person on the phone may prefer a brand that lists more channels.

Why would you use it abroad?+

Travel and multi-currency are both listed features (multi currency and travel), and the conversion charge is 0%. On a card with no monthly charge (£0), currency changes are the main cost to think about, and here they are listed at nothing.

How does it compare with other cards that charge nothing monthly?+

Bitpanda also lists a monthly fee of €0, and HyperJar sits at 1 in the ranking for that fee. On conversion, HyperJar is at 1 among the brands compared, against a site median of 1%.
