Banque multidevise pour la Coupe du Monde 2026 : USD, CAD et MXN

    Track the real cost of a city by spending only on Revolut for a week. The app categorises everything in EUR, so your "I think it costs ~€1 400/month" turns into a number. Revolut

  • Wise logo

    If your income is in another currency, use Wise instead of your home bank — at €2 000/month, the saving on FX margins is roughly €60 every transfer. Wise

    Once your runway is solid, parking the buffer on a P2P platform (Esketit) at 10-13% beats letting it idle at 0.5% on a current account. Esketit

Frequently asked

Why do regular cards bleed money on a USA-Canada-Mexico trip?
Most home cards add a foreign-transaction fee on every purchase, mark up the exchange rate, and charge again at ATMs. Across a month of hotels, tickets and ride apps in three currencies that quietly costs a couple of nice dinners. A multi-currency account skips the whole stack.
How do I avoid dynamic currency conversion at terminals?
Always pay in the local currency — USD in the US, CAD in Canada, MXN in Mexico — and decline any "pay in your home currency" prompt. That prompt is dynamic currency conversion, which adds a hidden 5–10 % markup. Saying no is the single fastest way to stop losing money.
Should I hold all three currencies on one account?
Yes — a multi-currency account lets you carry USD, CAD and MXN balances simultaneously and pay from the right one automatically. You convert at the mid-market rate in advance, when the rate is good, instead of letting the card do it per swipe.
What about cash for street food and small vendors?
Pull cash once per country in a larger amount to amortise any ATM fee, and always decline the machine’s currency conversion. Keep most of your spending on a fee-free card and reserve cash for markets, taxis off-app and the smaller bars where matches are on.
