Our verdict
UAB Bank's card is a debit card, which suits people who want everyday spending to come straight from a bank account balance. The free cash withdrawal allowance is MMK 0, so cash is metered while purchases draw on the balance in the account.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Purchases draw on the account balance, so there is no separate card balance to fund first (debit).
- Debit accounts for 74.7% of the cards in this category, so a bank card is the mainstream shape here.
- The balance behind the card is a bank account balance rather than a token position, so the money is not tied to crypto prices (debit).
Cons
- There is no free cash, as the free cash withdrawal allowance is MMK 0.
- Monzo Flex includes £200 and Wise includes £250 of free withdrawals, well ahead of MMK 0 here.
- The card type is debit, so it can only spend what the account already holds and never a balance of its own.
Who it suits
- Bank customers who want a debit card for everyday payments from their account.
- Readers who treat a bank card as the baseline, given debit is 74.7% of the cards in this category.
- People who rarely need cash, since the free cash withdrawal allowance is MMK 0.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants free cash abroad: Monzo Flex includes £200 and Wise £250, against MMK 0 here.
- Readers after a card that carries its own stored balance: the card type is debit, so funds come from the account, the same structure as Starling Personal Account Debit Card.
How uab Bank compares
Frequently asked questions
What type of card is it?+
It is a debit card, so each purchase draws on the money in the linked bank account rather than on a stored card balance. Debit is the most common card type in this category, at 74.7% of the cards compared.
Where does the money sit when the card is used?+
The debit card spends what the bank account already holds, so there is no card balance to load first and no crypto position attached to the card. The account balance is what covers each payment and every cash withdrawal.
Are free ATM withdrawals included?+
No free cash is included, as the free cash withdrawal allowance is MMK 0. That is the plainest structure of the three cards here, with Starling Personal Account Debit Card on the same footing at £0.
How does that allowance compare with Monzo Flex and Wise?+
Monzo Flex includes £200 of free withdrawals and Wise includes £250, while this card's allowance is MMK 0. For readers who take cash out while travelling, those allowances matter more than the simpler account funded card.
What do cards in this category charge each month?+
Across the cards in this category, the median monthly charge is €0 and the highest is €148.23. The card here is debit, the plainest structure in the group, so a monthly charge is not the reason to move away from it.
Who is the card for?+
It suits people who keep money in a bank account and want a debit card for everyday payments. It suits less well anyone who takes cash out regularly, because the free cash withdrawal allowance is MMK 0.
Is a debit card the usual choice in this category?+
Debit cards account for 74.7% of the cards in this category, with prepaid cards at 19.3%. A debit card sits with the majority, so it is a sensible starting point for anyone weighing crypto cards.
