Great project, no budget? Let's talk.
If you're a student, an early-stage founder or a community project that can't afford our white-label fee yet, apply for sponsorship. We audit every application and, for selected projects, we cover part or all of the fee ourselves.
Built for people with more ideas than budget
If you have a real use case and a team willing to put its name on it, you're who we want to hear from.
Students
University or bootcamp projects, hackathon teams and thesis work that need real card infrastructure, not a mock.
Early-stage founders
Pre-revenue teams with a working product or a clear plan, who can't justify a setup fee before the first users arrive.
Nonprofits & communities
DAOs, open-source collectives and community groups that want to give members a card without a commercial budget.
Emerging-market builders
Teams in regions where the standard fee is out of reach but the need for crypto-funded cards is greatest.
Three ways we can help
The audit decides which one fits. Every option runs on the same platform paying clients use.
Reduced fee
A discounted setup fee sized to what your project can realistically pay.
Deferred fee
Launch now and pay once you reach agreed usage or revenue milestones.
- Selected cases
Fully covered
In selected cases Kripicard assumes the entire white-label fee for the project.
From application to launch in four steps
- 01
Apply
Email us who you are, what you want to launch and what you can afford today. Zero is an acceptable answer.
- 02
We audit
We review the team, the use case, compliance risk and how realistic the plan is. We may ask for a short call.
- 03
Decision
If you're accepted, we offer a reduced fee, a deferred fee or, for selected projects, a fully covered fee.
- 04
Launch
You get the same white-label platform paying clients use: your brand, your cards, crypto top-ups.
What the audit looks at
- Who is behind the project, and whether the team is identifiable
- A real use case for cards: who the end users are and why they need them
- Compliance risk: no gambling, adult, sanctioned-region or high-fraud models
- A realistic launch plan and a team able to run support for its users
- What the project can contribute today, even if that is nothing
Not a fit
- Projects that only want to resell cards with no product of their own
- Businesses that can already afford the standard white-label fee
- Anonymous teams that won't identify themselves during the audit
- Any use case that breaks card-network or local regulations
Sponsorship questions
Is the white-label sponsorship free?
Sometimes. Every application is audited. Depending on the result, we offer a reduced fee, a deferred fee tied to milestones or, for selected projects, a fully covered fee where Kripicard assumes the cost.
Who can apply?
Students, early-stage founders, nonprofits, open-source and community projects, and teams in markets where the standard fee is out of reach. You need a real use case and an identifiable team.
Do sponsored projects get a limited version of the platform?
No. Sponsored projects run on the same white-label infrastructure as paying clients. The sponsorship changes what you pay, not what you get.
What happens if my project grows?
That is the goal. Sponsorship terms are reviewed as the project grows, and a project that reaches commercial scale moves to standard pricing on terms agreed up front.
How long does the audit take?
It depends on how complete your application is. Including your website or repo, your launch plan and your expected user numbers in the first email speeds it up.
Tell us what you're building
One email is enough to start. The template asks for everything the audit needs, so we can reply faster.
Sponsorship is granted case by case at Kripicard's discretion and isn't guaranteed.
