Prepaid cards: where to buy a ready-made card
There are two ways to get a virtual card: issue your own in the app, or buy a ready-made prepaid one — a card with a fixed balance already on it, no top-ups needed. The two solve different tasks.
When a ready-made prepaid card wins
- A gift: hand over the details — the person can pay right away, no apps to install.
- A one-off purchase or a single service — no sign-up, no top-ups.
- A fixed budget: the card holds exactly the amount you bought, overspending is impossible.
Where to buy one
Ready-made prepaid cards are sold by our partner service Vale: pick a denomination, pay in crypto and get the card details instantly. The cards work for online payments like any Visa/Mastercard.
When issuing your own is better
- Recurring payments and subscriptions — top the card up any time.
- Up to 10% cashback on purchases, credited to your balance.
- Apple Pay & Google Pay — pay with your phone offline.
- Several cards for different tasks in one app.
The two formats complement each other: a prepaid card for one-off spending and gifts, your own card for everyday payments with cashback.
