Card overview

Decaf pairs a non-custodial wallet on Solana and Stellar with a Visa card, and the two are separate. Decaf does not hold your keys, but the card spends its own balance, which you load with USDC from the wallet using Add Funds, so we list custody as hybrid. Individuals open a personal account, where the card is called Decaf Visa Platinum. Decaf adds no FX markup of its own, but the issuer's US card terms charge 1% on each foreign transaction (the non-US terms allow up to 2%), so abroad you pay Visa's rate plus 1%.

Virtual issuance costs 5 dollars, a US physical card 10, and the international physical version jumps to 90, which is where the pricing stops being friendly. Coverage is global with two footnotes: nineteen countries and territories are excluded, among them India, Nigeria, Turkey, Ukraine and Vietnam, and so are twelve US states, including Washington, Ohio and Oregon. There is no personal IBAN, and SEPA funding is listed for business accounts only. ATM runs 250 dollars per withdrawal, three times a day, physical card only.

No cashback of any kind. Yield sits apart from the card: the Invest tab deposits USDC into the Lulo.fi lending platform as Protected or Boosted deposits, with no rate published outside the app. Solana-native users who value custody over rewards are the audience. EVM users have nothing to connect here.

Reviewed October 2026 Verified against issuer docs

Decaf offers personal and business accounts. Individuals open a personal account, where the card is called Decaf Visa Platinum. The Decaf Wallet is non-custodial and Decaf does not hold your keys, but the card spends a separate balance you load from the wallet with Add Funds, so we list custody as hybrid. Yield sits apart from the card too: Decaf's Invest tab deposits USDC into the Lulo.fi lending platform.
Physical-card cash withdrawals cap at $250 per transaction, three times a day. Ordering the physical card costs $90 outside the US against $10 in the US, one of the steeper order fees here, and Decaf advertises no cashback. It also skips 12 US states, Ohio and Washington among them. Decaf says it adds no fee to the Visa exchange rate, which is true of Decaf alone: the US card terms charge a 1% international transaction fee on each transaction, and Decaf's own FAQ tells you to set 1% as the bank fee in Visa's calculator.
