Sana Card is a non-custodial Visa Signature card linked to a self-custody wallet on the Solana network, part of the Sana project ("self-custody neobank 2.0" / Sana onchain money). Assets, in particular stablecoins like USDC, remain owned and self-custodied by the user on the Solana blockchain and settle on-chain at the moment of payment. Full KYC required, no issuance fee, and an FX markup of up to 6% (FX up to 3% + cross-border up to 3%). A $SANA Rewards program exists but the cashback percentage is not publicly documented: cashback_pct is set to 0 pending official confirmation. Available in the EU, UK and Latin America; virtual and physical cards available. ATM fees and limits are not publicly documented and are therefore omitted.

Verdict

B C ★ 3.0/5 ★ 2.4/5 Estimated net annual cost: €0/year

Non-custodial card on Solana: assets stay self-custodied by the user, but licensing, issuing entity and regulator are not publicly documented. Perceived protection medium-low.

Strong self-custody footprint: keys and stablecoins (USDC) stay on the Solana network under the user's control, with on-chain settlement at payment. Good sovereignty profile, reduced by full KYC and high FX markup.
