Wallet card fees and costs
Money first: what does a card that spends from your own wallet charge? The coins stay under your keys until a purchase, at which point the provider converts them at the till, and that conversion is where charges tend to sit.
The section lays out the price of the card, the fees on each coin and network used for topping up, who qualifies to order it and what the issuer behind it is allowed to do.
A lost seed phrase costs everything in the wallet and cannot be reset, and the issuer can still freeze the card. Reviews note where that risk comes in alongside the fees.
