AI Summary

Updated

User feedback is mixed, highlighting a conflict between advertised privacy and reality. While many appreciate the Google Pay integration and self-custodial features, others report frozen funds and forced KYC due to AML flags. Users frequently complain about high fees, including deposit and currency conversion costs, and unresponsive support regarding refunds. Despite these issues, the service is noted for its excellent UI and functionality for anonymous online purchases when it works.

KYC issue
Funds blocked

What happened: Received legitimate payment from a client. Transferred USDT from my TrustWallet to Xkard. System accepted deposit without warning. Tried to load card → funds frozen. Support: "mixer activity in transaction chain" - now demanding KYC to release MY money. The problem: I never used a mixer. Someone paid me for work, I moved it from my wallet to Xkard. If someone three transactions back used privacy tools, how is that my responsibility? I can't audit entire blockchain history of every payment.

Marketing vs Reality: Homepage advertises (18 times): "No KYC" FAQ says: "zero-knowledge model — we never collect, request, or store personal data" Reality: Funds frozen, KYC mandatory, or lose your money.

Their excuse: "It's the provider's AML policy, we can't help." But their T&C say they're "just a technology platform" that "doesn't manage funds." So why advertise "No KYC" if you don't control it?

The real issue: If AML flags deposits as problematic, reject them upfront. Don't accept first, freeze later, demand KYC after. That's not "zero-knowledge" - that's bait and switch. They told me: "Migrate to V3, this doesn't happen there." Translation: They KNOW V2 has this problem but still accept deposits on it.

Why I'm pissed: I work hard for my money. Received legitimate payment. Acted in good faith. Now funds held hostage because someone unknown, somewhere in chain, valued privacy. Xkard advertises privacy but punishes users for... privacy.

The core contradiction: T&C: "We're just a technology interface, don't manage funds" But YOU:

Accept my deposit Advertise "No KYC" Freeze my money Demand KYC Control if I get funds back

Can't hide behind "just a platform" when convenient, then act like financial institution when it benefits you.

What should happen:

Reject problematic deposits upfront (your AML runs on deposit, right?) Stop advertising "No KYC" if exceptions exist Return my funds - I didn't break rules

The cards really work but there is a leak of transparency (I suppose due the automation of the service). I used it for more than 12 months.

smoldering_clustering_7161

expensive charging fees, and then just randomly blocked my unused card after a month of not using it, luckily just 60$ on it. Support unresponsive. While I was using it it worked fine, maybe service will resume normal at some point I guess.

Better to use prepaid cards and just load them for the amount you need, wouldnt trust this provider with a loaded card.

Cashed old giftcard out in store -> refund to card on terminal using applepay, funds never arrived, 6+ months, been in contact with the support, tried to get it refunded using their support, keeps saying i have to wait 30 business days, then fill out a form, i never recieved it 500$ worth... Tells me to fill out form for getting it and then another form and etc.... Had no issues with cashing out to revolut and it came from the store on my other giftcard within 2 days... Giftcard was cashed out 25. may...

they are not issuing cards now. whats the point of having this here?

I've spent a fairly large amount via Google Pay over the past month and tried 3D Secure as well. Apart from slightly high fees, everything worked smoothly. The website UI is also excellent. However, there have been issues over the past few days. Currently, I can't move the funds already loaded onto the card, but based on their detailed updates on Telegram, I trust they're handling the situation sincerely.

I’m surprised to see so many negative reviews that don’t match my own experience. Among services of this kind, I believe this one is operated more honestly and runs more reliably than others. Their latest update even introduced self-custodial—would a dishonest company really implement something like that? For those who are criticizing the service, if there is a better alternative, I would genuinely like to know.

ferocious_proclamation_1628

The funds that had been blocked were refunded correctly, and since I’m now using XKard’s new service, I wanted to share an updated review. I’ve been using it regularly through Google Pay and so far it’s been smooth with no problems at all. Even though I’m in a non-USD region, the fees are still the lowest I’ve seen compared to other similar services, and topping up is quick and easy. What I appreciate the most is that they’re clearly putting effort into making the service more user-friendly, which really stands out.

I looked everywhere for information about fx fees, it just state that the basic card charges 4.5% and no other information whatsoever about decline fees and other stuff. I get that no-kyc comes with downsides but this is just not transparent to buy a 230$ card just to find out you are paying 10-15% in total fees...

Overall, a solid option if you value privacy. I experienced around a 10% total cost from deposit (in USDT on BSC) to spending (in EUR), mostly due to currency conversion and associated fees. The card worked reliably both in physical stores and online. No KYC required, but comes at a premium.

suspect_bellyache_2013

Just get the Swype card at Trocador https://trocador.app/en/prepaidcards/ which is much cheaper and more reliable.

I registered and got the smallest card they offer. I was able to add it to Google Pay, and I paid for my ChatGPT subscription with it. The only thing is, the fees seem a bit high. For the most basic card, they take 4% for deposits (which must be in USDT). On top of that, they charge another fee (~2%) to change it into Hong Kong Dollars (which is the card's currency). It's still a pretty neat tool if you want to buy stuff online anonymously, so 5 stars.
