    Tier requirements & loyalty

    Referrals: 10 $KRIPI tokens per successful referral signup

    Fees

    BankingNo traditional banking features - crypto-only funding model with no fiat deposits/withdrawals or bank transfer capability

    Borrowing terms

    Prepaid debit card only - no credit features

    Custody & risk

    • If the issuer disappears
      While unconverted crypto remains in the user's control, the fiat balance loaded onto the card is custodial. If the card issuer or Kripicard fails, these loaded funds could be at risk.
    • Regulatory risk
      Minimal licensing disclosure and regulatory uncertainty due to minimal-KYC approach
    • Counterparty risk
      After conversion, card balances are custodial; if provider or issuer disappears, loaded fiat may be at risk
    • Market risk
      Early-stage platform maturity - service described as 'MVP stage' product

    Users retain self-custody of their crypto assets in their own wallets until they initiate a card top-up. At that point, the crypto is sent to Kripicard's platform, converted to fiat (USD), and the resulting balance is held custodially by the licensed card-issuing bank.
