The newer first-card fee FAQ lists AR, AO, BD, BO, CO, EC, ID, MY, MX, NG, PE, PH, ZA and TH at $10; the first card is normally free elsewhere. Additional cards after the allowance cost $10. An older limits page also lists HK, GB and SG as charged: check the regional Add Card quote before ordering. No physical card included.
Core does not require a paid upgrade or asset threshold. Issuance, funding and FX costs are separate; borrowing interest is not covered by free membership.
No FX markup for USD/EUR spend; other currencies about 1% + 0–0.5%
Other currencies use Visa settlement rates with about 1% base FX cost plus 0–0.5% Core markup. Zero EUR markup is a beta rule for merchant charges actually denominated in EUR, whether funded by USDC or EURC; market currency conversion still applies. Merchant dynamic currency conversion (DCC) can add charges outside this exemption.
Progressive calendar-month tiers: standard spend earns 3% on the first $2,000, 1% on the next $1,000 and 0.5% above $3,000. EUR spend uses USD-equivalent thresholds: 3% on the first $800, 1% from $800 to $1,500 and 0.1% above $1,500. USD and EUR share one monthly counter, not separate allowances. Rewards convert to ETHFI at clearing, lock for 7 days and require a manual claim of at least $5; token value fluctuates. ATM, transfers, taxes, gift cards, financial funding, rent, gambling and other excluded transactions earn no rewards; refunds reverse rewards.
Standard purchase fee 1%; no conversion fee or additional FX markup
Visa FX rates apply; small/failed-transaction fees are separate. These are regular rates. Qualifying campaign waivers are separate, not a full-year free-fee promise.
