Pros and cons
Pros
- Monthly fee of BAM 0 on the account, so the card costs nothing to hold.
- Runs on visa, the network used by 57.4% of the crypto cards in this comparison.
- Debit cards are the most common type here at 73.4%, so debit spending is the well trodden path.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, covering the main routes readers expect.
Cons
- The card is debit, so it spends a bank balance and carries no crypto balance of its own.
- Only visa is listed as the network, with no other option given.
- The use cases listed are travel, with no crypto spending feature named.
Who it suits
- Anyone in BA who wants a debit card and pays a monthly fee of BAM 0.
- Travellers, since the card is listed for travel and runs on visa.
- People who want bank support on email, chat and phone.
Who should look elsewhere
- Bitpanda, if the card needs to sit alongside crypto balances rather than a debit card drawn on a bank account in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
- Wise, if price is the deciding factor: the monthly fee is £0, the same BAM 0 charged here, so the market is what separates the two.
The company behind it
The card comes from Raiffeisen BANK d.d. Bosna i Hercegovina, a bank based in Bosnia and Herzegovina that has been operating since 1992. That history matters for a card at the centre of daily spending: the money sits with a long standing retail bank rather than a new entrant. Anyone with a question about the account can reach the bank on email, chat and phone.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the card cost each month?+
The monthly fee is BAM 0 on the account the card comes with, so there is no recurring card charge to budget for. Across the site the median monthly fee is €0, and the highest is €99.
Is this a debit, prepaid or virtual card?+
It is a debit card, and debit is the most common type in this comparison at 73.4%, with prepaid and virtual cards making up the rest. Spending draws on the balance in the linked bank account, so the card does not hold a balance of its own.
Which network does the card run on?+
The card runs on visa, and that network is used by 57.4% of the crypto cards in this comparison. Acceptance away from home follows the network rather than the bank, which matters for anyone paying in several currencies.
What is the card designed for?+
The listed use case is travel, and the card type is debit. That makes it a bank card for spending while away from home, aimed at ordinary purchases rather than anything crypto related. The feature list names travel and nothing else.
How do I reach customer support?+
Support runs on email, chat and phone. On this site a help centre is the most common support channel at 79.6%, followed by email at 60.9% and phone at 44.7%, so the bank covers the main routes readers expect.
Who issues the card and where is that bank based?+
The card is issued by Raiffeisen BANK d.d. Bosna i Hercegovina, a bank based in Bosnia and Herzegovina that has been trading since 1992. That makes it a bank product rather than a standalone fintech card, and the money in the account sits with the bank named here.
Where does the money spent with the card come from?+
Spending comes from the balance in the linked bank account, because the card is debit. The account is kept by Raiffeisen BANK d.d. Bosna i Hercegovina in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so funds sit with that bank while the card itself adds no stored value.
How does the fee compare with Monzo Flex, Wise and Bitpanda?+
The monthly fee here is BAM 0. Monzo Flex lists £0, Wise lists £0 and Bitpanda lists €0, so cost is not the deciding factor and the market each card serves is. Read the account terms, currency and support routes side by side instead.
