Overview

Nuri markets a self-custodial wallet for Euros, Dollars, Stablecoins and Bitcoin with a free Visa card and banking claimed across 130 countries [4]. The operator is verifiable from three official pages: Nurisoft Development OÜ, Veskiposti tn 2-1002, 10138 Tallinn, Estonia [1][5]. The card itself runs on the Wirex BaaS stack - the terms name UAB Wirex for card distribution and programme management, Transact Payments Malta Limited for the card-based regulated service, Wirex Limited for the UK, and DA Labs in El Salvador for the rest of the world [2]. That infrastructure matters: it is the same regulated stack as Wirex's own cards, but the brand, app and data controller are Nurisoft [2][5].

Fees & Costs

The card is advertised as free on the homepage [4]. What nuri.com does not publish is a card fee schedule - issuance, load, monthly and ATM rates live in the Wirex BaaS layer, and the support docs defer fees to that layer rather than stating them [3]. The support docs do document one concrete fee: a 25-dollar administration fee on card disputes, charged only if the dispute is lost [3]. FX costs are documented qualitatively: payments may convert through more than one step, with a margin applied at each conversion [3]. We state the honest gap: the total card cost cannot be verified from official nuri.com sources today [3].

KYC & Onboarding

The wallet layer is tiered: the homepage states many features work without ID verification and that Nuri does not store user data [4]. The card layer requires full verification through the Wirex stack - identity plus an address document from the last three months for standard use and any limit raise [3]. Onboarding durations are not documented in official sources; we state that rather than guess.

Coins & Top-up

The wallet holds Euros, Dollars, Stablecoins and Bitcoin [4]. The card wallet is documented as self-custody - funds stay at your own address rather than on a Wirex ledger, and recovery goes through Nuri, not the issuer [3]. Limits are documented on Nuri's own support docs: 30,000 per transaction, per day and per month in pounds [3]. The upstream Wirex BaaS documentation publishes the same spend ceiling in EUR, but with a different daily ATM amount upstream [6] versus a different daily ceiling on Nuri's own docs - a discrepancy between the brand layer and the infrastructure layer that we flag rather than resolve [6]. ATM withdrawals: 500 per day, 5,000 per month, 5 per day [3].

Rewards

No cashback program is documented on nuri.com or in the card support docs [3][4]. The value proposition is custody and banking access, not rewards [4]. We report none rather than infer from the infrastructure provider's own programs [6].

Reliability & Red Flags

What the infrastructure tells you: the card program inherits the Wirex stack's regulation - Transact Payments Malta holds a Mastercard licence, Wirex Limited is FCA-authorised, and the rest-of-world service runs through an El Salvador entity [2]. For a cardholder that means the payment-side protections of that stack apply, while the wallet side remains a non-custodial software product where you hold the keys [3][4]. The two layers are documented separately, and that separation is the accurate risk picture: a frozen card support process can still strand a purchase flow, but the underlying balances sit at your own address [3].

The verifiable strengths: a named operator across about, contact and privacy pages [1][5], a named infrastructure chain with regulated entities [2], and self-custody card mechanics documented in the support docs [3]. The red flags are historical and structural. First, the name: the original Nuri GmbH entered insolvency in 2022, and no official page addresses whether the new Nuri has any connection to it - the terms, about and FAQ are silent, and we document that silence instead of assuming continuity or denying it [1][2]. Second, the fee opacity in the card layer [3]. Third, the brand-infrastructure discrepancy on the ATM ceiling between Nuri's docs and the upstream Wirex BaaS documentation [3][6]. Our fact set is not fully verified (reported) as of the facts date.

Verdict

Use the wallet, and treat the card as an unverified add-on until its fee schedule is visible [3]. The operator and infrastructure are real and named [1][2], and the self-custody card wallet is a genuinely strong design [3]. But with no answer on the 2022 name history and no published card fees, we advise a small test load only - or pick a card whose issuer publishes its fees [3].
