Data verified on unchanged since the sources
Worth it if you want to spend straight from your self-custody wallet without pre-loading, at €0 issuance and monthly fee, with Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Avoid it if you need a physical card or ATM withdrawals: it's virtual-only, and the issuer's company profile isn't yet independently verified.
TopNod Card is a virtual Mastercard linked to the TopNod self-custody wallet, available across 31 countries in the UK and EEA. Unlike traditional crypto prepaid cards, it requires no pre-loading or top-up: you spend directly from the non-custodial wallet, with crypto-to-fiat conversion handled at the point of purchase. It supports Apple Pay and Google Pay. The card is issued by SR Saphirstein AG, regulated by Swiss FINMA, and stems from the UR partnership announced in March 2026. It has no issuance fee and no monthly fee, applies a 1% FX markup, and offers no cashback. Being virtual-only it does not support ATM withdrawals. The daily spending limit is not publicly documented. The company profile is not yet independently verified by third-party sources.

Verdict
Medium protection: the card is issued by SR Saphirstein AG, regulated by Swiss FINMA, but funds stay in the user's self-custody wallet, with no deposit guarantee scheme.
Good sovereignty: you spend directly from the non-custodial wallet without pre-loading the card, so keys and funds stay under the user's control until the moment of the transaction.
