The decision in brief
Two SolCard tiers. Two different comparisons.
For a low-friction virtual card, compare SolCard Virtual’s issuance and funding charges with CryptoCard. For Platinum, weigh verified onboarding and purchase charges alongside the 0% top-up headline.
You want one clear funding rate, email-only signup and BTC, XMR or USDT deposits without selecting a rewards or verification tier.
See CryptoCard fees| What matters | SolCard | CryptoCard |
|---|---|---|
| Onboarding | Virtual is described as email-only; Platinum requires identity verification. [2] | Email-only signup; no identity documents. |
| Card issuance | $10 per new Virtual card; the help centre also lists $10 for Platinum. [3] | First virtual card $0; additional virtual cards $2 each. |
| Top-up fee | Virtual 5%; Platinum 0%. Other charges still need checking. [2] | 1% on each credited crypto deposit. |
| Published spending limit | Virtual $5,000/month; Platinum advertises no monthly limit, subject to terms. [1] | Up to 5 active virtual cards; check the limits shown on your card. |
| Purchase and FX costs | Help centre lists purchase and FX charges. The fee page gives different FX ranges. [3] | No separate CryptoCard purchase fee. FX and merchant charges can affect the total. |

A free top-up is not a free transaction
SolCard’s help centre lists a $0.30 purchase fee and other charges, alongside 0% Platinum top-ups. A monthly pattern of many small purchases can therefore produce a different result from one large purchase. Count the transactions you actually expect to make. [3]
Resolve the FX schedule before funding
The SolCard fee page gives FX ranges by tier, while the help-centre breakdown lists a 2% cross-border / FX charge. These published descriptions differ. Ask which schedule applies to your card and region; this comparison does not select the cheaper figure or assume missing charges are zero. [2]
Keep the comparison on the same tier
Do not combine the email-only Virtual offer with Platinum’s 0% top-up rate. For CryptoCard, a $100 qualifying deposit credits $99 before optional card purchases. For SolCard, use the selected tier’s checkout quote and include issuance, funding and planned purchase costs. [1]
Your questions
SolCard,
with the details clear.
Does SolCard require KYC?
Its fee page describes Virtual as email-only and Platinum as requiring identity verification. Its terms allow requirements to vary by tier, feature and limit.
Is SolCard cheaper than CryptoCard?
There is no single answer across both tiers. Virtual has 5% top-ups and a $10 issuance fee; Platinum advertises 0% top-ups but has other listed charges. CryptoCard charges 1% to fund a balance. Compare total usage costs.
Why are two SolCard fee sources linked?
The fee page and help-centre breakdown describe FX charges differently. Both are provided so you can confirm the schedule for your actual card before funding.
