Plans & pricing

Strengths

  • Solflare wallet on Solana (4.8/5 App Store); Google Pay; free SEPA reloads.
  • Self-custody: funds stay in your wallet — the platform cannot touch them.

Weaknesses

  • Virtual only; no direct cashback (raffle only today); USDC-only; 1% FX and 1% crypto reload.
  • Full KYC required: verified identity, zero pseudonymity.

Verdict

B C ★ 3.5/5 ★ 2.8/5 Estimated net annual cost: €0/year

The rating, among the lowest in the group, reflects a critical issue for protection: no financial regulator declared in the terms of service. Add a virtual-only format, no direct cashback and operation limited to USDC on Solana, with a 1% FX markup. The product is still young and self-custody loads fund responsibility onto the user.

Under the sovereignty lens the profile improves: a self-custody card linked to the Solflare wallet, on-chain settlement in USDC on Solana and free SEPA reloads, with funds under the user's control. The lack of direct cashback and full KYC cap the appeal, but control of the funds remains the real strength here.
