Minimum deposit vs card issuance fee
Stablecoin-only collateral: approved USDC and USDT on Ethereum. The credit limit is 100% of that collateral value, with no haircut. No BTC, ETH, SOL or other coins are accepted.

A deposit funds an account or collateral position. An issuance fee pays for creating a card. Equal dollar amounts do not make these charges equivalent.
Two amounts, different purposes
An issuance fee is normally a cost, rather than a balance available for purchases. A deposit may remain part of your balance or collateral, but it is not automatically withdrawable: holds, debt, fees and withdrawal conditions can apply. Never describe collateral as a fully refundable card fee.
An apples-to-apples example
In an illustrative programme, a $10 deposit plus a $0 issuance fee means $10 is allocated to funding before any separate costs. A different programme charging a $10 issuance fee may deduct $10 as a cost. Neither figure establishes borrowing capacity or guarantees a usable card. Compare issuance, funding requirements and ongoing charges in separate columns.
The IndevBank distinction
IndevBank describes a planned $10 minimum deposit and $0 issuance, monthly and annual virtual-card fees. These are proposed terms. They do not establish a refundable-deposit promise, final eligibility, available credit or a confirmed issuing partner.
What a fee comparison still needs
A complete comparison includes conversion costs, network fees, refund rules, account closure terms and geographic eligibility. A fee that is not in the comparison should not be entered as zero.
