multi currency fx card corporate or personal

[ShillGates]

Looking for a multi currency card to spend abroad. So either EUro denominated, or usd or GBP. Could do three cards i guess. but looking for something like Revolut whereby they give you very good fx rates on the go in any country currency without having to think or plan. Banks in uae and everywhere else like to add a 4% spread for no reason other than profit.

any good solutions out there? Got uae corp. Could open HK or europe if needs be

Check Swissquote. They can provide a personal card that has zero FX markup on several currencies. The amount of currencies isn't as generous as Revolut or Wise, but it covers the major currencies.

There are a couple of banks in Mauritius that can issue cards in currencies such as EUR and USD (not sure about GBP). If you earn/have EUR or USD, you could send avoid day to day FX by sending money there and using a USD/EUR credit card. These can be both personal and business cards, but it's much easier to open personal accounts.

Standard Bank in Isle of Man/Jersey has something similar, although I'm not sure if they take UAE resident clients.

I heard they introduced some limitations, you should check with Amex. I still have my eur and usd Centurion ICC (since 99).

AMEX ICC is (nearly) closed for new applications due to regulatory and commercial issues AMEX had

It seems that you have to obtain it through a bank. I heard Amex requiring a bank guarantee now for higher spending limits.

Is going physically to the US needed here?

 

[SCHLOSSFINANZ]

it depends on the quality of your documents but sometimes not. But it certainly would help

I can’t see them offering a credit card

 

[SCHLOSSFINANZ]

look at private clients, they do offer cards

What do you mean with quality of documents?
How does that relate with remote application option?
