Happy New Month! It's February 🖖
Καλό Μήνα!
👋 Hey there,
Kalo Mina!
In Greece, we say Kalo Mina (spelt Καλό Μήνα) at the beginning of each month to wish each other a good month. It literally means “good month”.
In this week’s newsletter, we’re bringing you some juicy updates, and our partnership with Wise. ✨
Are you team Wise or team Revolut? 🫣
If you haven’t signed up to Wise yet and opened a multi-currency bank account, we definitely recommend it as an excellent option. Here are the reasons why:
With its low currency exchange fees, Wise is 6x cheaper than traditional banks.
Over 52% of Wise transfers are instant.
Wise uses the real exchange rate—no markups.
You can hold and manage money in multiple currencies and withdraw from ATMs in 50+ currencies.
There are no charges associated with opening an account. It’s free.
