Offgrid Card

Off Grid · Visa

3.0/5 3.4/5 · Data verified on

Off Grid is a non-KYC, privacy-first Visa-branded crypto card marketed as Europe-based. It lets users spend crypto without submitting ID documents, using zero-knowledge proofs to verify transactions without collecting or storing personal data. The card is virtual (added to a digital wallet, no plastic) and comes in three tiers (Edge, Prime, Black) with annual registration of $49/$97/$299 and daily spending limits of $1,000/$2,500/$5,000 (up to roughly $4,000/month without ID). The model is custodial. No cashback and no ATM access. The licensing country is not publicly documented (only a 'based in Europe' note); the EE value/licenses field is indicative and should be treated as unconfirmed. The issuance fee mirrors the base-tier annual registration ($49) expressed in EUR as an approximation since official amounts are in USD.

Verdict

C B ★ 3.0/5 ★ 3.4/5 Estimated net annual cost: €49/year

Off Grid is a custodial, non-KYC card with no publicly documented jurisdiction or license (only a 'based in Europe' note): if something goes wrong there is no regulatory framework or supervisory authority to turn to, and funds sit in the issuer's custody. Consumer protection is effectively absent.

On the sovereignty axis the verdict is mixed: the card is non-KYC, uses zero-knowledge proofs and collects no personal data, which is strongly cypherpunk-friendly; however the model is custodial, so you do not have full control of your funds. High privacy, zero self-custody.
