Issuance
First virtual card $0 or $10 by region
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.

No monthly / annual fee
Interest and transaction fees separate.
ether.fi Cash · Core international virtual
Monthly / annual
Core has no membership monthly or annual fee
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 USD/EUR markup
EUR beta; others ~1% + 0–0.5%, DCC separate.
ether.fi Cash · Core international virtual
Spending fees
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.

Up to 3% ETHFI
First $2k/month standard or $800 equivalent EUR; 7-day lock, $5 claim.
ether.fi Cash · Core international virtual
Rewards
Up to 3%, paid in ETHFI tokens
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.

Onchain costs; bank route fees
ACH $0.50 + 0.1%; expand for other routes.
ether.fi Cash · Core international virtual
Funding fees
Onchain network costs apply; bank funding is route-priced
Check the supported asset, network, address and transaction quote; network, protocol or bridge costs are not assumed free. Where available: USD ACH $0.50 + 0.10%; USD Wire/SWIFT $20 + 0.10%; EUR SEPA to USDC €0.90 + 0.15%, or to EURC €0.90.

ether.fi Cash · Core international virtual
Payment assets
Direct Pay can use USDC, USDT, EURC and other supported account assets
Choose eligible assets and order at Portfolio → Set Spend Priority. Guidance also lists liquidUSD, liquidEUR, liquidReserve and frxUSD, but availability is regional. Liquid is unavailable to US/UK residents or citizens; Liquid Reserve belongs to a specific US program. Use only assets and deposit networks permitted for the account; insufficient balance does not guarantee a successful payment from another asset.
|
Default $5,000/day
Account default $10k/day and month; adjustable, balance/collateral apply.
ether.fi Cash · Core international virtual
Spending / ATM limits
Default card daily limit $5,000; account daily/monthly limits $10,000 each
These are adjustable defaults, not guaranteed maximum credit. Card and account limits both apply and the first reached blocks spend. Review or change them in Cash card Spending limits and Vault → Settings; changes may have a security delay. Direct Pay also depends on available balance; Borrow Mode depends on collateral ratios, protocol and account conditions.
|
Personal onchain account
Spending permissions; borrowing liquidation risk.
ether.fi Cash · Core international virtual
Who holds funds
Assets stay in a personal onchain account with spending permissions
Cash connects a non-custodial wallet and Direct Pay uses available assets. Borrow Mode collateral can be liquidated as prices fall or interest accrues. Third National issues the Visa card but does not provide the protocol loan; onchain assets are not insured bank deposits.

|
Balance spend / secured borrowing
Immediate loan interest; USDC refunds do not repay debt.
ether.fi Cash · Core international virtual
Refunds / repayment
Direct Pay spends the balance; Borrow Mode accrues variable interest
Borrowing accrues compound interest immediately with no interest-free grace period; check the live account APY before borrowing. Repay voluntarily; no scheduled monthly minimum does not remove collateral requirements. Refunds usually take 3–7 business days and may take 30, return as USDC and reverse rewards. A Borrow Mode refund does not automatically repay debt: repay manually or interest continues.
|
Borrowing is not an interest-free credit line
ether.fi Cash · Core international virtual
Usage limits
Borrowing is not an interest-free credit line Falling collateral value or accrued interest can reduce available credit and trigger liquidation; Direct Pay is available without borrowing.
