- No cashback.
- Solana-stablecoin focused; issuance/annual fees not documented.
- Full KYC required: verified identity, zero pseudonymity.
- Subject to regulation (Registered as a Money Services Business with FinCEN (NMLS ID #2639252), as a MiCA CASP via the AFM in the Netherlands (#41000005) and with the FCA in the UK. ISO 27001 certified.): reporting to authorities and freezes on order.
Verdict
Fragmented protection across jurisdictions: Morse is registered as an MSB with FinCEN (US), as a MiCA CASP via the AFM in the Netherlands and with the FCA in the UK. Coverage is broad but there is no banking license, and the card remains virtual-only and available in few countries.
High sovereignty score: the wallet is genuinely self-custody on Solana, the user keeps control of the keys and Morse states it cannot touch the funds. Full KYC remains a necessary trade-off for issuing the Visa card.
