Santander Debito LikeU review

The account carries a monthly fee of MXN 9.90. That sits against a site median of €0, where most cards are free. Monzo Flex and Wise both charge £0 and £0, so the fee is the main thing to weigh.

Spending earns a cashback rate of 3%. On its own that rebate has to cover the MXN 9.90 monthly fee before the account saves you anything, so heavy card users get the better return. Light users should look at the free options.

It is a debit card, listed as debit, which is the most common card type on the site at 73.4%. Balances come from the linked bank account rather than a preloaded balance, so there is no need to top the card up first.

This is a bank current account rather than a crypto platform, so there is no exchange wallet to hold funds. Deposits and any protection scheme are handled by the bank under its own arrangements, and readers should confirm the terms with Santander directly.

The published pricing covers the account fee and cashback, and readers wanting cheap foreign spending should compare the free alternatives. Wise charges £0 monthly and is built around conversion rates, which suits frequent travel more than a MXN 9.90 debit account.

It fits people in Mexico who want an everyday debit card with a cashback rate of 3%. It suits customers already with Santander who prefer one account for spending and cashback, and anyone willing to cover MXN 9.90 each month for it.

The account shown charges MXN 9.90 per month, while the free alternatives cost £0 and €0. Readers who want no fixed charge can compare those options, though the cashback here is the reason to stay.

This is a debit card, debit, funded from a bank account, so it does not hold or convert digital assets. Readers wanting a card linked to crypto balances would find a closer fit with Bitpanda, whose monthly fee is €0.
