Bleap CardBleap Card scores 12 of 16 on the CBL Card Score. Bleap, Mastercard. Self-custodial MPC wallet; issuer holds no funds. Unlimit EU, Central Bank of Cyprus e-money.
Watch. The card is issued by a Central Bank of Cyprus e-money institution and Bleap SIA has held a Latvian MiCA authorisation since 25 Jun 2026, but the company dates from 2023, its Savings product sits outside the MiCA scope, and its terms carry drafting errors (official register and cardholder terms).
| Criterion | Points | What we found | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Custody | 2 of 2 | Self-custodial. The wallet uses MPC key shares so no single party, Bleap included, holds the full key (official, bleap.finance, checked 20 Oct 2026). The cardholder terms say neither Bleap nor the issuer holds the cardholder's funds; card spend settles by direct debit from the user's self-custody Bleap Wallet and no e-money balance is held at the issuer for card use (official, cardholder terms, 28 Jun 2026). Tokens sit on Solana, Base and Arbitrum (official). | official checked 20 October 2026 |

| Yield on idle balance | 1 of 2 | Two routes.

The dispute route, in order: the company's own support desk, then the card network's chargeback rules, then the regulator of the issuer where one is named. A frozen card is a question, not a verdict: the Frozen Account Survival Kit applies to cards too.
