Curve Review

One card that combines all your other cards. Now rebranded 'Curve Pay', it's a handy travel and spending wallet in the UK and EEA — but it's not a bank, and the US version was shut down in 2024.

Best for: A genuinely useful card-combining wallet — just remember it's not a bank

N26 vs Revolut

We've banked with both for years. N26 is the better everyday EU bank account (salary, IBAN, deposit protection); Revolut wins for travel, multi-currency, and crypto.

Best for: EU banking & salary (N26) — or travel, FX & crypto (Revolut)

N26

A full German-licensed digital bank with €100k deposit protection, no foreign-transaction fees, and — new since launch — crypto, stock investing and savings interest. Best everyday account for EU/EEA nomads.

Nexo vs BlockFi

BlockFi went bankrupt in 2022 and no longer exists — so this is really a guide to Nexo, the still-operating alternative for crypto-backed loans and interest (with regional restrictions).

Best for: Nuri is gone — Revolut is the best all-round replacement

Wise vs Revolut

Wise wins for pure, low-cost international transfers (always the mid-market rate). Revolut wins as an all-in-one app for travel, multi-currency, crypto and investing. Many nomads hold both.

Best for: Wise for cheap transfers, Revolut for an all-in-one money app

Wise

The cleanest way to send and hold money internationally — always the real mid-market rate plus one transparent fee. Best for transfers and multi-currency, with optional interest on balances. It's not a bank, though.

Best for: The benchmark for low-cost international transfers and multi-currency
