Frequently asked questions
What does Nequi SV cost each month?+
The monthly fee is $0, so the account costs nothing to keep open. Nequi SV also sits at 1 in the monthly fee ranking, which puts it among the cheapest accounts compared here. There is no subscription charge to trade against card perks.
How many free ATM withdrawals are included?+
Free ATM withdrawals run to $250, more than the category median, €0. Even so, Nequi SV ranks 17 of 104 on this measure, so heavy cash users have room to compare.
What kind of card is it and which network does it use?+
It is a debit card on the mastercard network, so payments come straight from the account balance. ACCELERA, S.A. DE C.V. is the named legal entity behind the app, which is worth knowing if you are comparing who issues the card.
Which currencies can I hold and spend?+
Nequi SV covers 1 currency, which makes it a single market account rather than a multi-currency wallet. It is headquartered in El Salvador, so think of it as a local spending account rather than a travel money account.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on chat and help centre only, which means a help centre article or an in-app chat is where you start. A phone line and an email address are not part of that set, so urgent problems wait longer for a reply.
When did Nequi SV launch and who runs it?+
The account launched in 2024 and runs from El Salvador as ACCELERA, S.A. DE C.V.. It is a recent arrival on the market, so the track record on fees and card features is shorter than at long-established banks, and offers may still be changing.
How does it compare with other cards on value?+
Its cost score is 6 and the overall score is 5.4, with the offer part at 4.4. The monthly fee of $0 is the strong point, while the breadth of what the card offers scores lower.
