The short answer
No monthly or annual card fee is not unique. Nexo also publishes those waivers. A higher advertised reward can carry mode, asset-balance and loyalty conditions.
Fees and rewards: published facts
| Feature | IndevBank | Nexo |
|---|---|---|
| Virtual issuance | $0 issuance | $50 activation balance; not an issuance fee |
| Recurring card / membership cost | $0 monthly / annual | No monthly / annual card fee |
| Cashback conditions | 1.5%; $50/transaction, $250/month; exclusions and reversals | Credit Mode: up to 2% NEXO / 0.5% BTC; balance above $5,000; loyalty tiers |
Where the programme differs
IndevBank publishes one proposed reward rate with explicit caps. This makes its draft reward formula easier to inspect, but does not prove better net value.
What prevents an overall winner
The maximum NEXO-token rate exceeds IndevBank’s proposed rate. Nexo supports debit and credit modes; rewards, balance requirements and borrowing costs are separate. The selected source describes European eligibility, not worldwide issuance.
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.
