How we handle your funds
Any crypto card you trust with real money should show you exactly where that money lives, who holds it, and what rules govern it. You can fund your card with up to 150 coins, and here's the full Kripicard flow, from deposit to Visa tap — no buzzwords.
- 150+ coins
- Accepted to fund your card
- Regulated
- Banking & custody partners
- PCI-DSS L1
- Card data environment
- Never
- Lent, yield-farmed or invested
The four-step fund flow
Every dollar of spending power follows the same transparent path — from the moment you deposit USDT to the moment a merchant gets paid.
- 1
You top up with crypto
You can fund your card with up to 150 coins — including USDT on-chain (Solana, TRC-20, or ERC-20) — sent to a deposit address that is unique to your account. Other supported coins are automatically converted, so your spendable balance always settles in USDT. Kripicard never asks for — and never has access to — your private keys, seed phrase, or any wallet you don't explicitly use to send funds.

A regulated partner converts USDT to fiat
The deposit is routed through a licensed crypto-to-fiat partner that converts USDT into the settlement currency. This step happens under the partner's regulatory framework — Kripicard facilitates it, but does not act as the exchange or money transmitter.

An issuing bank holds the fiat balance
The converted fiat balance sits with the issuing bank or Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) provider, under the safeguarding rules of that bank's jurisdiction. This is what backs your card's spendable balance.

You spend over Visa and Mastercard rails
When you tap, enter a card number, or pay with Apple Pay / Google Pay, the transaction clears through Visa's global network to the merchant. Kripicard never sees the full card number or CVV — those live only in the PCI-DSS Level 1 processor.

Our non-negotiables
The commitments that define how Kripicard treats your money — fixed, public, and not up for negotiation.
We never lend or rehypothecate
Your fiat balance is not loaned to third parties, not used for "yield," and not invested on our behalf. It exists to back your card until you spend it.
We are not a bank
Kripicard is a technology platform. Card issuance, custody, and settlement are performed by independent, regulated partners — they are the banks, we are the interface.
Every account is KYC-verified
We cannot legally operate without identity verification because our banking partners require it under AML and sanctions regulations. This also protects legitimate users from fraud rings.
Bank actions are outside our control
If an issuing bank freezes, holds, or closes a card for compliance reasons, we cannot override that decision — but we will fight in good faith on your behalf to unlock the funds.
If a bank freezes your funds
Because licensed banks — not Kripicard — hold the fiat balance backing your card, a bank can, at its discretion, freeze, hold, or confiscate a balance for AML, fraud, or regulatory reasons. When that happens:
- Kripicard is not legally liable for the frozen funds or any resulting loss.
- Kripicard will use commercially reasonable good-faith efforts to help you recover them — at no additional charge.
- We will liaise with the banking partner, relay your documentation, and follow up until the matter resolves.
- Recovery is never guaranteed, because the decision sits with the bank, not with us.
