3.0/5 2.5/5 · Data verified on

Moto is a stablecoin-backed secured credit card aimed at high-net-worth individuals, built by Moto Finance (founders Shimon Newman and Ramses Kamanda, both ex-Squads). The model is non-custodial: funds stay in smart-contract reserves on Solana and keep earning yield while Moto fronts the transaction at the point of sale and settles monthly using the user's deposited funds. The card is a Visa Infinite with up to 5% cashback on every spend and zero FX fees (spend at the real exchange rate in 180+ countries). Yield on deposits is tiered: 2% (Tier 1, $0-100k), 3% (Tier 2, $100k-499k), 5% (Tier 3, $500k+); cashback stays at 5% across all tiers. ATM withdrawals are not yet supported. The card is members-only, invite-only, and not yet publicly available. Issuance and annual fees are not publicly disclosed, so they are shown as 0 in this entry in the absence of an official figure. Moto Finance raised $1.8M in pre-seed funding from Cyber Fund and Eterna Capital (announced January 2026).

Verdict

C C ★ 3.0/5 ★ 2.5/5 Estimated net annual cost: €0/year

Limited protection: Moto holds no license of its own and operates in partnership with regulated issuers. The model is non-custodial (funds in smart contracts on Solana), but KYC is full and the product is early-stage, invite-only and not yet publicly available.

Partial sovereignty: funds stay in smart-contract reserves on Solana under user control and keep earning yield, but full KYC and reliance on the Visa rails and third-party issuers reduce real autonomy.
