As published on its website, Bleap charges 0 for issuance, top-ups, spending, conversion and FX, with free ATM withdrawals up to 400 EUR a month — the only card in our dataset whose four core fees are all officially listed as zero (on-chain gas aside). But it is only open to residents of the EEA or Switzerland; the official eligibility page says anyone living outside them cannot get a card regardless of nationality, so mainland China residents cannot apply.

What 1,000 USDT buys

Open one virtual card, top up 1000 USDT once (1 USDT = 1 USD) and spend it over 10 purchases; spendable amounts at USD and non-USD merchants, on-chain gas excluded.

① Issuance fee: 0.00 USD
② Top-up fee: 1000 × 0% = 0.00 USD
③ Card balance: 1000 − 0.00 − 0.00 = 1,000.00 USD
④ Spendable at a USD merchant: 1,000.00 ÷ (1 + 0%) = 1,000.00 USD
⑤ Spendable at a non-USD merchant: 1,000.00 ÷ [(1 + 0%) × (1 + 0%)] = 1,000.00 USD
Total cost: USD merchant 0.00% / non-USD merchant 0.00%

Who it suits

Suits: Individuals living in the EEA or Switzerland who hold on-chain stablecoins

Not for: Residents of mainland China and other non-European regions

Checklist before you apply

  1. Check your residence: Mainland China residents are ineligible — see the alternatives below.
  2. Prepare documents: ask first whether your document type is accepted.
  3. Check the live fee preview in the app before opening.

A U-card is only for passing payments through: top up only what you will spend, and never keep a large balance on the card.
