3.0/5 2.4/5 · Data verified on

OrbitX Card is a Visa card linked to a stablecoin balance (USDC and USDT on Polygon and Base) from OrbitX Network Group Pte. Ltd, a Singapore-based fintech. The model is non-custodial: the user keeps control of funds. The card comes in virtual and physical (plastic or metal) versions and is offered across multiple tiers (Neo, Lux, Corporate) with multi-currency accounts in USD, EUR, GBP and AED. KYC is mandatory to activate. Stated cashback is 0% across all tiers, with a 1-2% FX markup and an annual fee starting at $12. Fees are published in US dollars (USD): the euro field values are reported as per source without conversion. OrbitX is not a bank or a regulated institution: financial services are rendered by partner banks. The editorial rating is 3/5 because several parameters remain poorly documented publicly.

Plans & pricing

Strengths

  • Not a regulated bank and several parameters (licensing, per-country coverage) remain poorly documented
  • Full KYC required: verified identity, zero pseudonymity.
  • Subject to regulation (OrbitX states it is a financial technology company and not a bank or regulated financial institution; financial services are provided through partner banks. Legal entity: OrbitX Network Group Pte. Ltd, Singapore (UEN 202448623M).): reporting to authorities and freezes on order.

Verdict

C C ★ 3.0/5 ★ 2.4/5 Estimated net annual cost: €12/year

OrbitX is not a bank or a regulated institution: it explicitly states it is a fintech and that financial services are provided through partner banks. There is therefore no direct fund protection at the issuer level, and regulatory coverage for the user depends on undisclosed partner banks. Overall weak protection.

The model is non-custodial and the user keeps control of stablecoin funds (USDC/USDT on Polygon and Base), a plus for sovereignty. However, full KYC is mandatory to activate the card, reducing privacy. Medium sovereignty: good control over funds, but identity fully exposed.
