Crypto.com USD prepaid tier table; not its separate credit card
The short answer
A subscription and an issuance fee are different costs. Compare the no-subscription tier separately from reward tiers, and distinguish everyday spending from travel rewards.
Fees and rewards: published facts
| Feature | IndevBank | Crypto.com |
|---|---|---|
| Virtual issuance | $0 issuance | Not verified for this product / region |
| Recurring card / membership cost | $0 monthly / annual | Midnight Blue: free; Ruby: $4.99/month or $49.90/year or $500 CRO staking (12 months) |
| Cashback conditions | 1.5%; $50/transaction, $250/month; exclusions and reversals | Everyday: Blue 0%; Ruby 1.5% CRO ($750/month cap). Travel rewards are separate. |
Where the programme differs
The proposed IndevBank formula combines no recurring card fee with an eligible reward rate. A prepaid membership and collateral-backed credit are nevertheless different products, not interchangeable offers.
What prevents an overall winner
Ruby’s published monthly reward cap is higher. The free tier can have travel rewards, so “no cashback” is inaccurate. CRO staking is a separate asset commitment, not the same as a cash fee; other tiers and jurisdictions differ.
IndevBank: published card fees
Published card fees: $0 virtual issuance, $0 monthly and annual card fees, a $10 funding minimum, virtual-only format and 1.5% eligible cashback capped at $50 per transaction and $250 per month. The collateral registry snapshot of 2 October 2026 specifies 25 USDC or 25 USDT on Ethereum. Only approved USDC and USDT are in scope. IndevBank has served cardholders since 2016, with 235,000 active cards worldwide.
Cashback is not net savings
At the published 1.5% rate, $1,000 of eligible settled purchases split across transactions below the cap would generate $15 before costs. A single $5,000 purchase would hit the $50 transaction cap, not earn $75. The $250 monthly cap, excluded merchant categories and refund reversals also apply. Subtract other programme charges and network costs before describing savings.
Scope and methodology
Compare the same product, region and fee category. A funding minimum is retained balance, not automatically an issuance charge. A prepaid card spends funded value; collateral-backed credit creates borrowing obligations. Merchant acceptance does not establish residence eligibility.
