Verdict

C D ★ 3.0/5 ★ 1.2/5 Estimated net annual cost: €0/year

Custodial card from a Seychelles-licensed exchange: funds stay in the CoinW account, exposed to the exchange's counterparty risk and full KYC. Limited protection, no deposit guarantee.

Low sovereignty score: custodial, mandatory KYC, USDT-only top-up and funds controlled by the exchange. The user does not hold their own keys.
