Why small top-ups cost more

The fixed $3 fee applies each time. A single $500 top-up costs $20.50 with Online or $22.50 with Travel. Five $100 top-ups cost $32.50 and $34.50 respectively. Both add $12 in fixed fees; the percentage component stays the same.

Combining top-ups reduces fixed fees, but is not a reason to hold more money on the card than you need. Consider your actual spending, balance-refund rules and the risks of leaving funds with the provider.

The cost of getting started

Issuance plus one $500 top-up produces $120.50 in charges for Online and $172.50 for Travel. The $500 funding amount is separate. Travel adds $50 at issuance and $0.40 per $100 topped up. Before choosing it for mobile-wallet use, verify support for your device and region.

Check before paying for issuance

  1. Eligibility to apply

    Confirm eligibility for your citizenship, country of residence, documents and identity verification (KYC). Country-based card-use restrictions do not establish issuance eligibility. Approval is not guaranteed.

  2. The provider and agreement

    Request the card issuer and legal provider names, agreement, balance-refund rules, freezing policy and dispute process. This guide has not verified the issuer or legal structure of the card product.

  3. Your intended payment

    Check the country and specific merchant, recurring payments, refunds and mobile-wallet support if needed. Payment-network support alone does not guarantee a successful transaction.

  4. The complete cost

    Check whether the fee is deducted from the top-up or added separately, the conversion rate and any other charges. Before sending USDT, match the network, address and minimum amount. A network error can lead to loss of funds.

Where card use is restricted

These are card-use restrictions, not lists of citizenships or countries eligible for issuance. A country being absent does not guarantee acceptance.
