Wallbit
VisaVirtual onlyA dollar account for people paid by American companies, with a Visa card funded free from USDC or USDT across seven networks and no charge at all on dollar spending — available in 76 named countries, and with no plastic anywhere in the product.
98 of the 175 priced cards cost less. Among the 101 that ask for exactly as much identity, the median is $1.00. This one takes 2 times that for the same loss of privacy.
Whether to take Wallbit
Worth it if you are paid in dollars or stablecoins from the US and spend mostly in dollars: free deposits on seven networks, nothing on a dollar purchase and $5 to start is one of the cheapest combinations here, and 76 countries is unusually wide. Check your limit before you rely on it — the contract you sign says $500 per operation and the marketing says ten times that, and if you are in India or Israel the account will open and the card will not be issued.
In its favour
- Deposits are free in USD, EUR, USDC, USDT and local currency, and stablecoins arrive on seven networks — the widest deposit surface in this batch
- Nothing is charged on a dollar purchase and there is no monthly fee, so the running cost of ordinary spending is zero
- $5 one-off to issue the card and nothing after that
- Available to residents of 76 countries, published as an explicit list rather than a claim
Against it
- The binding Terms of Service cap the card at $1,000 a month, $500 per operation and once a day, while the help centre advertises $5,000 a month — a twentyfold gap between the contract and the marketing. Neither number is recorded here, because the issuer has not chosen one
- "$0 in fees for international or local transactions" on the card landing page is contradicted by Wallbit's own fee table one click away, which charges 2% on every foreign-currency purchase
- The ATM fee appears in neither published fee schedule — it exists only in a help article, and its $5 minimum makes a $20 withdrawal cost a quarter of itself
- India and Israel are on the account availability list but on the card no-issue list: you can pass KYC and fund the account before discovering the card cannot be issued to you
Also true, in its favour
- A US dollar account with receiving details alongside the card, built for people paid by American companies
- Apple Pay and Google Pay, which is how the card reaches a terminal at all, since there is no plastic
- Y Combinator company with a named team and an X account posting daily

The entry is genuinely cheap: $5 once to issue the card, free deposits in dollars, euros, USDC, USDT or local currency, no monthly fee, and nothing taken on a dollar purchase. Foreign-currency purchases cost 2%, which the card landing page denies and the fee table confirms. ATM withdrawals cost 1% with a $5 minimum plus another 1% if the cash is not dollars, and that charge appears in neither published fee schedule — only in a help article. Withdrawing stablecoins back out costs 2%. A $2 monthly inactivity fee applies after three months with a balance under $500. Spending limits are not recorded because the issuer publishes two irreconcilable sets: the Terms of Service say $1,000 a month, $500 per operation, once a day; the help centre says $5,000 a month.
KYC: what Wallbit asks for
A government document. Passport or ID goes to the issuer and to whoever processes verification for it, before the card is handed over.
Limits on spending
Wallbit publishes no spending limits at all.

The other flaws
- There is no physical card — issuance and shipping are listed as coming soon
- Every cardholder shares one US billing address in Puerto Rico, and Wallbit's own decline-reason list includes an incorrect billing address
- A $2 monthly inactivity fee bites after three months below a $500 balance, and the terms allow closing the account over it
- Crypto is free in and expensive out: USDC and USDT deposits cost nothing, withdrawals cost 2%
- The same fee article gives different numbers in its English and Spanish versions
- The stablecoin-to-dollar conversion rate is the real entry cost and is never published
- Wallbit states that all card transactions are recorded within the US tax system rather than your local one — said once, in passing
- Not a bank and not FDIC insured, and it does not hold your money itself
