UPay's website (upay.com) describes virtual and physical cards, top-ups with BTC / ETH / USDT / USDC, and licence badges for a Hong Kong MSO, US MSB, Canada MSB and a Lithuanian VASP in-principle approval, without licence numbers.

Pros

  • Virtual and physical cards
  • Top up with BTC / ETH / USDT / USDC
  • Shows several licence badges

Cons

  • Footer company (Denver, US address) differs from About-page company (Dubai)
  • Card network not shown on the pages read
—Issuance
—Total cost
—FX fee
—Daily limit
Verdict: Entity details are inconsistent — be cautious and test small.

Two points came up during verification. First, the homepage, card page and About page publish no fees, and the help center is a separate sub-site we could not read. Second, the footer names UPAY TECHNOLOGY LTD. with an address in Denver, US, while the About page describes UPay Fintech Co., Ltd., founded in Dubai in 2023 — the entity details don't match. The website says KYC is handled by Sumsub and only accepts identity documents issued by the same country as your ID. Until more is disclosed, this site draws no conclusion on its cost.

Who it suits

Suits: Individuals willing to confirm every fee inside the app

Checklist before you apply

  1. Check your residence: Confirm in writing with support that your residence is supported.
  2. Prepare documents: ask first whether your document type is accepted.
  3. Check the live fee preview in the app before opening.
  4. Use the right network: it must match the deposit page when withdrawing from an exchange.
