Whether to take Spendl Card
In its favour
- Both virtual and physical cards available
- 12 supported digital assets including BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC
- Three KYC tiers (Smart/Savvy/Guru) with R25K-R500K spend limits
- Card same across all plans — only KYC and limits differ
Against it
- South Africa-focused — RSA residents required for top Guru tier
- Card network not explicitly disclosed in public docs (Visa assumed)
- No documented Apple Pay or Google Pay support
- Unilateral flow — cannot withdraw crypto back; ZAR only to named bank accounts
Also true, in its favour
- Crypto auto-converts to ZAR for spending; works online, in-store, internationally
- Issued under regulated South African CASP (FSCA-exempt Light Fusion Pty Ltd)
