DogPay Card
DogPay · Visa
DogPay is a Singapore-based fintech platform (founded 2022) offering virtual and physical Visa cards to spend crypto like fiat across 140-180+ countries where Visa is accepted. The model is custodial: users load funds into the DogPay wallet (it accepts USDT and other crypto on Ethereum, TRON and BSC) before spending, and full KYC is required to activate the card. The virtual card has an issuance fee of about 5 USDT while the physical card costs about 50 USDT plus shipping; there is no annual fee. A top-up fee of around 1% applies plus a currency-conversion markup of up to 1%. DogPay claims a Singapore PSP registration, an Estonia EMI and a US FinCEN MSB registration. The card offers no cashback (set to 0). ATM limits and daily/monthly spending limits are not publicly documented, so they are not reported here. The DogPay profile is flagged as 'unverified' by the Todey team, so some figures are self-declared.

- Subject to regulation (DogPay claims a Payment Service Provider registration in Singapore (regulated by the MAS under the Payment Services Act 2019), an EMI authorization in Estonia and an MSB registration with FinCEN in the US. These are payment/EMI-type registrations, not banking licenses; some figures are self-declared and not independently verified.): reporting to authorities and freezes on order.
Verdict
Custodial wallet with mandatory full KYC: funds are held by DogPay and the user does not control the keys. The declared licenses (Singapore PSP, Estonia EMI, US FinCEN MSB) are payment/EMI-type registrations, not bank-deposit protection guarantees. Weak protection.
Custodial model with full KYC: no key control and verified identity. Low sovereignty score, in line with a centralized exchange card.
