In this episode of Banking Without Borders, Jonny and Jan sit down for a proper March recap, and there’s plenty to cover. From Chase UK nerfing its cashback (again) to the bizarre Klarna x DoorDash partnership that lets you pay for your groceries in instalments (yes, really).
Jonny shares his experience testing Trading 212’s new multi-currency account and card, with surprisingly low FX fees and interest on balances. Is it the next big thing for international spenders?
Plus: Early signs of Revolut mortgages, savings account tips, and why some flashy fintechs are starting to feel a bit… legacy.
