I’ve never heard of PostaPay before, but what are the benefits of using this particular company and card instead of for example Revolut?
You’re generally much better off with something like Revolut—it’s mostly if you need an account with a Maltese IBAN for whatever reason. I’ve written a bit more about it in this article: https://nomadgate.com/easy-maltese-bank-accounts/
I discovered recently that the Blackcat account also has a Maltese IBAN number, so it’s getting easier.
What I find interesting and a bit puzzling about the Postapay account is there is no mention of any maximum cash limit that can be paid into it. Most banks allow 300 - 500€ max. Though Malta is still very much a cash society - at least compared to Sweden and UK.
