Banking and fiat rails
Card overview
Kardpay sells reloadable prepaid Visa or Mastercard cards for a one-time fee, $29 on Core, $99 on Pro and $199 on Elite (cut from $299), then takes 5%, 4% or 3% of every top-up. Top-ups arrive as USDT or USDC over Tron or Ethereum, from $15. The less visible costs sit in the terms: every authorization attempt is charged even when it is declined ($0.25 in one clause, $0.50 in another), and a chargeback costs $30.
The homepage advertises cashback of 1% to 2% for staking $3,000 to $18,000 of the KDY token for 180 days, but the web app's code has the cashback feature switched off, so I would not count on it. There is no ID upload to order a card, only a phone number for SMS codes, although the terms let kardpay ask for identity, domicile and source of funds at any time, and they refuse to name the card's network providers. Custody is fully custodial. Apple Pay and Google Pay work, there is no IBAN, and the physical Elite card, a Mastercard, is sold out.
Worth it for small online spending where a phone number is an acceptable price for skipping ID uploads.
- Wrong card if
- 3% to 5% top-up fees plus per-attempt charges will outweigh the convenience
