The decision in brief

A few subscriptions, or a team’s ad spend?

Beyond the headline

The details that
change the choice.

See original sources

Card quantity can decide the fit early

If you need dozens of concurrent campaign cards, CryptoCard’s five-active-virtual-card limit is a meaningful constraint. PSTNET’s Private programme targets higher issuance volume. Check its plan and account conditions before turning a marketing allowance into a budget assumption. [2]

An advertising card does not guarantee approval

PSTNET markets specialised card options for ad platforms. Merchant rules, billing information and platform checks can still affect acceptance. For either service, confirm the payment workflow before making it a dependency for a live campaign. [1]

Compare the team’s complete bill

List the number of active cards, expected replacements, total funding and staff access you need. Ask for the matching PSTNET plan quote, including any membership charge. A zero transaction-fee headline does not establish that issuance and funding are also free. [2]

Your questions

PSTNET,
with the details clear.

Is PSTNET a no-KYC service?

Its website publishes full electronic identity verification through Sumsub, including ID and biometric checks. Do not assume all features are available without verification.

Can CryptoCard replace a large PSTNET setup?

CryptoCard allows up to five active virtual cards per account. A team needing many more cards should evaluate a programme designed for that scale.

Will a card guarantee an ad account is accepted?

No. A payment card cannot guarantee approval of an advertising account or exemption from an ad platform’s rules.
