Crydit Card

Crydit · Visa

3.0/5 1.0/5 · Data verified on

Crydit is a UK-based Web3 fintech (with offices also in Hong Kong, Dubai and Denmark) issuing a crypto debit card on the Visa network, designed for large-value payments. It states it operates under multiple financial licenses, including a Hong Kong Money Service Operator (MSO) and a European VASP registration. The model is custodial via third parties: funds are held with custodians Cobo and Ceffu with no direct access by Crydit. The card supports crypto-to-fiat conversion across 160+ fiat currencies and Visa acceptance in more than 210 countries, with a personal EU IBAN in the app for receiving SEPA transfers. All cards require Visa KYC verification (full KYC). The documented FX markup is 1.5%. Issuance pricing and cashback are not stated consistently across public sources: issuance is reported both as free and as carrying a cost, while cashback is paid in crypto through an eight-tier VIP program with rates revealed only after account creation. In the absence of an official, stable figure, fee_emissione_eur and cashback_pct are shown as 0 in this entry; the effective cashback depends on the VIP tier reached.

Verdict

C D ★ 3.0/5 ★ 1.0/5 Estimated net annual cost: €0/year

Weak protection: custodial model with funds held by third-party custodians (Cobo, Ceffu) and mandatory full KYC. Users do not control the keys and depend on partners and a multi-jurisdictional corporate structure to recover funds.

Minimal sovereignty: custody delegated to third parties, full KYC and no self-custody. The card prioritizes compliance and global coverage over the user's direct control of their own assets.
