Overview

PlasBit is a custodial crypto wallet with Visa prepaid cards issued through the Wirex BaaS infrastructure [1]. The official bundle documents the company as PlasBit Sp. z o.o. in Poland, founded in 2020, registered under the Polish VASP regime (RDWW-650), with a Canadian PlasBit LTD entity registered as an MSB with FINTRAC and under RPAA [2]. The card offer is free of issuance fees, in EUR and USD, with no fees on wallet top-ups and a 3-year card validity [1]. Three things dominate the risk picture: custody is fully custodial, plastic issuance is paused indefinitely [3], and the numeric fee schedule is not published in any served page.

Fees & Costs

The published offer is clear on what is free: no issuance or loading fees, no fees on wallet top-ups, card valid for 3 years [1]. The minimum deposit is 10 dollars [1]. What the site does NOT publish is any numeric rate: the card top-up fee percentage, the FX rate, the ATM fee and the monthly fee exist only in a client-rendered Fees & Limits table that requires an interactive browser session to read - the served bundle explicitly defers to it [1]. Third-party data documented rates around 0.5% top-up, 1.5% FX and 2% ATM, but those are single-source and not operator-confirmed; we treat them as unverified rather than repeat them as facts [1]. The honest position: you cannot verify this card's total cost from official sources without a browser session [1].

KYC & Onboarding

KYC is tiered and documented: Level 2 full verification requires proof of address plus a questionnaire on top of ID and liveness checks, and Level 3 enhanced due diligence adds source-of-funds documentation such as bank statements [1]. Level 1 is listed as not available for purchase-limits purposes [1]. The card program requires the full level. Plastic delivery is documented per a supported-countries table: 69 of 193 countries supported, with the US, Russia and China absent and Canada excluded [1].

Coins & Top-up

The wallet is funded with Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, TRX and more than 100 other supported cryptocurrencies [1]. Balances sit in PlasBit's offline multi-signature cold storage, fully backed 1:1 and verified through monthly audits - custodial, not self-custody; no self-custody claim exists anywhere in the official content [1]. Card loads run from the wallet to the card, with a loading fee applied per transfer (rate unpublished) and funds available instantly [1]. The virtual card cannot withdraw at ATMs - plastic and metal only [1]. There is no Lightning support documented.

Rewards

No cashback program is documented in the official content [1]. The product's pitch is custody, card convenience and the regulatory footprint, not rewards [2]. We report none rather than infer.

Reliability & Red Flags

A note on what verification means for this entry: the official site is a single-page application that serves the same JavaScript shell on every route, so the quotes above come from the application bundle the server actually delivered - the text is real and served, but reading the fee table requires running that bundle in a browser [1]. That is a structural transparency limitation: the operator publishes full content in a form that resists plain HTTP verification, and we record it as such [1]. The independent press coverage of the PCI DSS upgrade and the regulatory IDs corroborate the entity [2][5].

The verifiable strengths: concrete regulatory IDs on the official site [2], documented cold-storage custody with monthly audits [1], a PCI DSS v4.0.1 compliance upgrade covered by independent tech press [5], and Apple Pay/Google Pay support documented in the FAQ [1]. The red flags are documented rather than speculative: the plastic and metal issuance pause is still live on 2026-10-01 with no end date [3]; the numeric fee schedule is unauditable without a browser [1]; and an August 2026 Reddit thread on r/CryptoScams alleges PlasBit is a scam - an unverified, anonymous signal that could also describe brand impersonation, which we record without endorsing it [4]. The Wirex BaaS issuer dependency means the card rails depend on a third party's program continuity [1]. Our fact set is now verified against the official site bundle as of the facts date.

Verdict

A cautiously usable custodial card for supported countries if you need crypto-funded spending with a published regulatory footprint [2]. Do not rely on plastic or metal right now - issuance is paused indefinitely with no published end date [3]. Before loading anything, open the Fees & Limits table in a real browser and confirm the rates you would actually pay [1]; if you cannot stomach custodial cold-storage custody and an unresolved scam-allegation thread on the record [1][4], pick a non-custodial alternative instead.
