3.0/5 1.2/5 · Data verified on

Trustee Plus is a crypto app registered as a VASP in Lithuania (founded in 2021) that combines a wallet, instant fiat/crypto conversions, and a virtual Visa payment card that can be added to Apple Pay and Google Pay. While the Trustee wallet is non-custodial, the card account runs in custodial mode: funds are topped up in USDC into a Trustee Plus account from which spending occurs. The card has no annual fee and a 0% FX markup; cashback reaches up to 2% on the Visa card. Onboarding includes a registration fee of about USD 10; the EUR equivalent is not officially documented, so the fee_emissione_eur field is set to 0. ATM fees are likewise not disclosed and are shown as 0. The card is virtual-only, requires full KYC (foreign passport, ID card, or EU residence permit), and is available in the European Economic Area, not the USA. The daily spending limit is EUR 5,000 (monthly card limit 30,000 USDC).

Verdict

B D ★ 3.0/5 ★ 1.2/5 Estimated net annual cost: €0/year

Limited protection: the card account is custodial and funds are held in USDC in a Trustee Plus account, with mandatory full KYC. Trustee Plus is registered as a VASP in Lithuania under EU AML/CFT rules, but is not a bank with deposit insurance.

Low sovereignty on the card side: to spend you must hand custody of funds to Trustee Plus and complete full KYC. The Trustee wallet remains non-custodial, but the Visa card account is not.
