    I applied for something similar a few year ago. It was a normal debit card but with some added perks: the ability to use it internationally, without any fees and commissions (unless you used different ATM’s to withdraw cash). Even shopping at the supermarket was free of commissions!

    The only problem though, like you said.. more plastic in my wallet 😀 And their online baking system was very chaotic. It took me a lot of time, nerves and 3 phone calls to transfer my money from one card to this one.
