Verdict

A D ★ 4.3/5 ★ 1.1/5

An FCA licence, an account manager available every day of the year and a strong Trustpilot score (4.6/5) explain the high rating. The clear limit on protection is the absence of FSCS coverage: funds are only safeguarded. It is also not available in Italy.

For a crypto-native profile Equals Money offers little: full KYC, a custodial account and average privacy. Its strength is operational, with unlimited virtual cards and payouts in 61 currencies, but that's payment efficiency, not control of funds or censorship resistance.
