The TenX card is a deceased Visa debit card program provided by fintech company TenX Pte. Ltd., based in Singapore. It was a physical card that allowed users to convert various cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, LTC, and PAY, for spending. This card program is no longer operational due to the collapse of its issuer, Wirecard AG, in June 2020.
The fee structure for the TenX card has not been verified, as the service is dead and most fee details are null. There is no information available on issuance, monthly, top-up, FX, or ATM fees, as well as inactivity fees. The only available information comes from an external source, Cryptowisser, which reported historical fees, but these are not confirmed.
The TenX card required full KYC, but the trigger and documents needed for the process have not been verified. The ordering process, issuance, and shipping time are also unknown due to the lack of available information.
The TenX card supported the conversion of several cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, LTC, and PAY, but did not allow native loading of these assets. It did not support the Lightning Network. The minimum top-up amount and settlement notes have not been verified.
The cashback rate, payout token, caps, and tiers for the TenX card have not been verified, as the program is discontinued. Any rewards that may have been advertised are no longer applicable.
The operator of the TenX card, TenX Pte. Ltd., had its card issuance dependent on Wirecard AG, which collapsed in June 2020 due to a EUR 1.9 billion accounting scandal. This event led to the immediate freezing of all TenX cards. While there are no explicit red flags listed, the incident highlights the significant counterparty risk associated with custodial card programs. External sources, including Reddit threads and news articles, document the negative experiences of users following the collapse.
You should not attempt to load funds onto the TenX card program, as it is discontinued and no longer operational. The collapse of Wirecard AG, the issuer behind the TenX card, serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of understanding the issuer structure and associated risks in crypto card programs.

Back and verifiable: the Uphold Debit Card relaunched in the US with up to 4% back in XRP (Elite, $99.99/yr) or 2% (Essential, free), Visa acceptance with Apple/Google Pay, no credit check and FDIC pass-through on the USD balance. The trade-offs: rewards are XRP-denominated with conditions (holding periods, monthly caps), the program's history is pause-and-restart, and support tickets show crediting/adjustment friction. US-only (no NY/LA/territories).
The veteran (2014) reinvented as a stablecoin bank: fee-free FX worldwide, multi-currency accounts with 1:1 stablecoin conversion, real Visa/Mastercard principal memberships and an 8% headline cashback. Fee details hide in the help hub, and the El Salvador licensing move makes the regulatory story newer than its brand.
The most complete dual-mode card: one tap switches between spending your crypto (Debit, with daily interest) and borrowing against it (Credit, from 1.9%) - with free ATM allowances up to EUR 2,000/month and no card fees. The catch: meaningful cashback needs a $5,000+ portfolio and is denominated in NEXO, and it is EEA/UK-only.
