Veil Card is a privacy-focused crypto card issued by Veil Bank, described as an 'omni bank' backed by a partner bank in Laos and available in 130+ countries. The card is non-custodial and offers in-app 'Privacy Swaps + Bridges' for untrackable on-chain movements, minimal KYC (ID photo + selfie and address, no proof of income) and no data resale. Three tiers: Nomad (free, virtual-only, 3% cashback), Black Offshore (600 USD, virtual + physical, 5%) and Corporate (1,500 USD, 7%). DATA NOTE: the FX markup (fx_markup_pct) is not disclosed by the source and is set to 0; the annual fee is undocumented and set to 0; the issuance fee reflects the base Nomad tier (free = 0). ATM limit and fees are also undisclosed. This is a different product from the similarly named veil.cards service.

Verdict

C A ★ 3.0/5 ★ 3.8/5 Estimated net annual cost: €0/year

Weak legal protection: no clearly stated license or legal entity, banking backed in Laos and poor transparency on fees and limits. Non-custodial model but with consumer guarantees that are hard to verify.

Good operational sovereignty: non-custodial model with in-app privacy swaps and bridges and minimal KYC. The user keeps control of on-chain funds, though the issuer's opacity remains a limitation.
