👋 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.

Wise is the perfect compliment to having a Greek bank account. Our readers get their first transfer up to 500 GBP free by signing up here.
