  • Only Airwallex has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Airwallex international card payments carry a $0.30 fee per transaction on top of FX charges, separate from the free tier; Empower empower's managed advisory tiers require a minimum of $100,000 in investable assets for Personal Strategy and $1,000,000 for Private Client, with exact advisory fee percentages deferred to the Form ADV filing rather than published on the site.
