TL;DR
TBC Bank lets you open a card either online with verification or directly at a branch; monthly maintenance costs either 10 or 30 GEL, with the main difference being cash withdrawal limits.
A common question is what happens if you skip the monthly TBC card maintenance fee — no confirmed answer was given in chat, so it's best to check directly with the bank (likely a debt accrues or the card gets blocked).
Exact TBC card fees and conditions aren't published anywhere obvious, so travelers usually ask directly in the community chat or at a bank branch.
Opening a TBC card is currently simple: you can apply online with verification or go directly to a branch. There are plans at 10 and 30 GEL per month, mainly differing by cash withdrawal limits.
