E Money Network · Mastercard

2.0/5 0.9/5 · Data verified on

The E Money Card is a crypto Mastercard issued by E Money Network, linked to a custodial wallet where users deposit stablecoins (USDT, USDC, eEUR) on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana and Base. It works anywhere Mastercard is accepted, online, in stores and at ATMs, and offers up to 2% cashback claimable in various cryptocurrencies across multiple chains. Data note: the official source documents a one-time issuance fee of 99 USD (payable in USDT/USDC), not in euros; because no EUR figure is documented, fee_emissione_eur is set to 0. An annual fee is likewise undocumented and set to 0. ATM fees and withdrawal limits are not disclosed and have been omitted.

Verdict

C D ★ 2.0/5 ★ 0.9/5 Estimated net annual cost: €0/year

Custodial wallet with full KYC: funds are held by the platform and the user does not have full control. Protection depends on the issuer's soundness and regulatory compliance, not on direct control of the keys.

Very low sovereignty: custodial wallet, mandatory KYC and no self-custody of keys. Not suited to those seeking direct control and privacy over their funds.
