Plans & pricing

Strengths

Weaknesses

  • ATM fee 2,5%+€2 international; cashback 0,5-1%.
  • Full KYC required: verified identity, zero pseudonymity.
  • Subject to regulation (VASP FNTT (Lituania) · card via Unlimit EMI (Cipro)): reporting to authorities and freezes on order.

Verdict

B C ★ 3.9/5 ★ 2.8/5

The B tier mirrors a mix of strengths and real costs: gasless execution, a Cyprus IBAN and Morpho vault access on one side, but ATM fees (€1 domestic, 2.5% + €2 international), a 2.5% + €1 FX fee on non-EUR currencies and low 0.5–1% cashback on the other. It is a VASP authorised by Lithuania's FNTT with the card issued by Unlimit (a Cyprus EMI); it stays a non-custodial, full-KYC service that pays off mainly for euro spenders.

Through this lens it is one of the most consistent: it is non-custodial and omnichain, never holding your crypto or keys, with gasless execution and direct access to on-chain Morpho vaults. The limit is full KYC, but the DeFi-native design gives the user a degree of control that purely custodial neobanks do not offer.
