Understanding SolCard Fees

SolCard is designed to be affordable, transparent, and accessible—but like any financial product, there are some fees involved in its usage. Below is a full breakdown of all applicable fees so you always know what to expect when using your SolCard.

Every transaction made with your SolCard includes a flat $0.30 transaction fee. If the transaction is international or involves currency conversion, a 2% cross-border/exchange fee is added on top. For transactions made via Apple Pay, there’s an additional 0.30%, bringing the total to 2.3% for cross-border Apple Pay transactions.

When topping up your SolCard, a 5% top-up fee applies. This includes deposits via any supported platform or wallet.

If you choose to withdraw your balance from your SolCard, you'll be charged a $1 fee (paid in USDT) to cover blockchain/network costs.

For declined transactions, there is a small fee depending on the scenario. In most cases, you'll be charged $0.15, but in some cases (such as network or merchant retry loops), this may increase up to $0.50.

Also, note that very small transactions under $10 USD will incur a $0.15 small purchase fee. This is to prevent spam-like usage patterns and excessive micro-transactions.

Card issuance fees
When issuing your SolCard, fees depend on the card network:

  • Mastercard issuance: $10

  • Visa issuance: $40
    However, if you have a discount code, Visa card issuance is available for just $24.

Here’s a quick summary:
