Fidelity Cash Management Account review

The Fidelity Cash Management Account matches Schwab on the features travelers care about and skips the second account. Fidelity's page lists $0 monthly fees, no ATM or foreign debit transaction fees, ATM fees reimbursed globally and no minimums to open. The account comes with a debit card that works with digital wallets, plus checkwriting, Bill Pay and mobile check deposit, so it can double as an everyday spending account at home. Fidelity is clear that this is a brokerage account: your cash goes into the FDIC-Insured Deposit Sweep Program or a money market fund, and the FDIC coverage applies through the sweep program rather than to the account itself. Like Schwab, the card spends from a US dollar balance, so you cannot lock in euros or yen ahead of a trip. For people who already invest with Fidelity it is the simplest way to get fee-free cash abroad, with no new bank relationship needed.
