KripicardKripicard scores 5 of 16 on the CBL Card Score. Kripicard, Visa or Mastercard. Custodial; unnamed bank holds the fiat balance. Issuer not disclosed; Brazil-based operator.
Unknown. No issuing bank, BIN sponsor, licence or regulator is named anywhere on the site, and the operating company Uweb3 Management BR publishes no registration number, so the entity holding cardholder balances cannot be identified (official, terms and safety pages).
| Criterion | Points | What we found | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Custody | 0 of 2 | Custodial. Crypto is converted by "a licensed crypto-to-fiat partner" and "the resulting fiat balance is held with the issuing bank", which Kripicard says is "not on Kripicard's balance sheet" (official, is-kripicard-safe page, checked 20 Oct 2026). The terms say Kripicard "does not itself hold customer fiat deposits" and that custody sits with "independent, regulated third-party partners" (official, terms, effective 13 Jun 2026). Neither the bank nor the conversion partner is named, and no segregation or safeguarding statement from a named custodian was found. | official checked 20 October 2026 |
| Issuer and licence | 0 of 2 | Not disclosed. The terms refer only to unnamed "Banking Partners" including "issuing banks", card networks, acquirers and BaaS providers (official, terms, effective 13 Jun 2026). The safety page refers to "a licensed issuing bank" without naming it (official). A third-party review confirms "Multiple independent regulated partners; not publicly named in current terms" (third-party: CryptoCardHub, 11 Aug 2026). | official checked 20 October 2026 |

The UK, the UAE and Saudi Arabia are not mentioned. The US is shown as restricted in a third-party review that counts 182 available and 11 restricted countries (third-party: CryptoCardHub, 11 Aug 2026). The cards are virtual only and billed in USD (official, fees page). | official checked 20 October 2026 |
| FX fee on a foreign-currency purchase | 2 of 2 | "FX fee 0.00%" on the published fee schedule and "No FX markup" on the home page (official, home.kripicard.com/fees, checked 20 Oct 2026). All cards are billed in USD, so a European cardholder paying in euros is converted by the card network. The fee page adds "Fees may vary depending on funding method or exchange rate" (official). Scored at 0% on the company's statement that it adds no markup. | official checked 20 October 2026 |
| Funding cost | 0 of 2 | Kripicard Premium, the only tier on the fee page: $5 issuance fee, $1 processing fee, 4% funding fee on every top-up, $0 monthly fee, 0.00% authorisation fee (official, home.kripicard.com/fees, checked 20 Oct 2026).

| Freeze and dispute policy | 1 of 2 | Terms state "All disputes related to unauthorized charges must be reported within 10 days of occurrence" and that transactions "are generally non-refundable once authorized", with technical errors sent to manual review (official, terms, effective 13 Jun 2026). No response time or complaints timeline is published. Support runs through dashboard tickets or email. Bank-imposed freezes are covered under a "Third-Party Banking Partners & Frozen Funds" clause, and Kripicard says it "is not liable for bank-imposed freezes" (official, is-kripicard-safe page). | official checked 20 October 2026 |
| Yield on idle balance | 0 of 2 | None. The home page states "No staking" and no interest or yield product is published (official, checked 20 Oct 2026). | official checked 20 October 2026 |

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. No issuer is disclosed here, so the third step has nowhere to go yet. A frozen card is a question, not a verdict: the Frozen Account Survival Kit applies to cards too.
