Spend crypto anywhere Mastercard works
Pay in crypto, get a prepaid USD Mastercard by email, 25 to 999 dollars, with no documents asked for at activation today.
A StealthSwap card order works like a swap: you send crypto from your own wallet and the card arrives as a redeem code in your email. The cards are issued through our card issuing partner, carry the Mastercard brand, and spend like any other prepaid card.
Activation asks for a name, an email, an address and a phone number. Our card issuing partner does not ask for documents at activation today, and that rule is theirs to set and to change. Once active, a card has been verified to add to Google Pay; other device wallets depend on our card issuing partner and are not guaranteed.

Read this before you buy
Country restrictions are enforced, not suggested: redeeming from a restricted country voids any refund, and VPNs and proxies are rejected outright by the card provider. The redeem code goes to the email you give at checkout and nowhere else, so losing that inbox loses the card. You accept exactly these three facts before paying.

From crypto to card, step by step
A card order works like a swap: you get a deposit address and an exact amount, and the order status updates itself on this page. The card arrives by email once the issuer generates it.

Pick a card
Choose one of the fixed face values on offer, from 25 to 999 dollars. The denominations are set by our card issuing partner and the value shown is exactly the value the card carries. What is on offer can change, so the picker always shows the live list rather than a number written here.

Accept the three facts
Before paying you accept three things in writing: redeeming from a restricted country voids any refund, VPNs and proxies are rejected by the card provider, and losing access to your email loses the card. They are shown up front because every one of them is final.
- 3
Pay in crypto
You get a deposit address and an exact crypto amount, the same way a swap works. Send it from your own wallet before the window closes. The quoted amount is the full price of the order, including the issue fee and any margin of ours, and nothing is added afterwards.

Redeem from your email
The redeem code and activation link arrive by email from our card issuing partner. That can take a few hours, so check the spam folder before assuming anything failed. Redeem from a country the card allows, on a real connection, never through a VPN or proxy.
A virtual card with crypto, and no documents today
There is no identity check to buy one on our side. Activation with our card issuing partner asks basic contact details and nothing else today, and that rule is theirs to change, which is why the honest limits below matter more than they would on a card that knows who you are.
No documents today
Activation asks for a name, an email, an address and a phone number. No ID document, no selfie, no proof of address. Our card issuing partner sets that requirement and can change it.
No account here
Nothing to sign up for on our side. You pick a card, pay in crypto from your own wallet, and the redeem code lands in your email.
A real Mastercard
The cards carry the Mastercard brand, spend like any other prepaid card, and have been verified to add to Google Pay. Other device wallets depend on our card issuing partner and are not guaranteed.
What you do need
Crypto in a wallet you control, an email inbox you will keep access to, and a real connection in a country the card allows. That is the entire list.
What a card costs
The issuer fee lines below are the issuer's own published figures. The crypto amount quoted before you pay is the whole price, including the issue fee and any margin of ours, and nothing is added afterwards.
- Card face value
- A 100 USD card is worth 100 USD. Face values are fixed whole denominations set by our card issuing partner, never numbers we invent, and the value you pick is the value the card carries.
- One time issue fee
- Charged once when the card is issued, and it varies a little between issuing companies. The crypto amount quoted before you pay already contains it.
- Our margin
- A service margin of ours may be priced into the crypto amount you are quoted. Whether it applies is a setting we can move, so rather than publish a posture here that could go stale in every old page, the rule is the one that always holds: the quote you see before paying is the whole price.
- Currency conversion
- Charged by the issuer only when you spend in a currency other than the card's own. Spend a USD card in USD and it never applies.
- Network fees
- The crypto payment is a real transaction on a public chain and carries that chain's fee, exactly like a swap deposit.

The facts that cost money when learned late
Each of these fires only after you have paid, which is why they are stated here, in the widget, and in the acceptance you give before any address is shown.
Restricted countries are enforced, not suggested
Every card carries a list of countries where it cannot be used, and some carry a shorter list of the only countries where it may be used. Using a card from a restricted country can get the card blocked.
Redeeming from a restricted country voids any refund. That is the most expensive mistake this product allows, which is why it is stated here, at checkout, and in the acceptance you give before paying.
The card provider rejects VPNs and proxies outright. There is no working around the country list, and attempting it is how a card gets blocked with no refund behind it.
The email is the card
The redeem code is delivered to the email address you give at checkout, and nowhere else. Losing access to that inbox loses the card, and nobody can resend the code, including us.
The email comes from our card issuing partner, not from us, and can take a few hours to arrive. Check the spam folder before assuming a failure.
What activation asks, and what it does not
Activation asks for a name, an email, an address and a phone number. It does not ask for identity documents today. That requirement belongs to our card issuing partner, who can change it.
The cards do not support 3D Secure. A merchant that requires it will decline the card, so a small number of online stores will not accept it.
What we can and cannot do
StealthSwap handles the crypto payment and your order status. The card itself is issued through our card issuing partner: we never see the card number or the redeem code, and we cannot freeze, reload, resend or recover a card once it has been delivered.
Availability, denominations, fees and country restrictions are set by the issuer and can change between orders. What you accept at checkout is what applies to that order.
Prepaid card questions
- How big can a card be?
- From 25 to 999 dollars, in fixed denominations set by our card issuing partner. A larger spend means buying more than one card. Some denominations are limited to particular countries, so the picker shows only what is actually available to you.
- Do I need documents?
- Not today. Activation asks for a name, an email, an address and a phone number, and nothing else. Our card issuing partner sets that requirement and can change it, so what the picker and your order confirmation say at checkout is what applies to your order.
- How exact does my crypto payment need to be?
- Send the figure shown or a little over, never under. A card is a fixed price, and many wallets and exchanges take the network fee out of the amount you type, so a send that looked exact can arrive short and leave the order underfunded. A small overpayment is the safe side of that mistake.
- What can I actually spend it on?
- It behaves like any other prepaid Mastercard, so most online checkouts take it, including Google Play subscriptions. It will not work at merchants that require 3DS bank authentication or that refuse prepaid and gift cards, and acceptance varies by country and by device wallet.
- How fast does the card arrive?
- The crypto payment confirms at normal chain speed, and the redeem email can then take a few hours. It comes from our card issuing partner, not from us, so watch the inbox you gave at checkout and its spam folder.
- Can I use it with a device wallet?
- Cards have been verified to add to Google Pay once activated. Other device wallets depend on our card issuing partner and are not guaranteed.
- What happens if I redeem through a VPN?
- The card provider rejects VPNs and proxies, and redeeming from a restricted country voids any refund. Use a real connection in a country the card allows.
- Can you resend my redeem code?
- No. It is sent to the email you gave at checkout and nowhere else, and we never hold a copy. If you lose that inbox, the card is lost with it, which is why you accept exactly that fact before paying.
- Why was my card declined at a store?
- The two common reasons are a merchant that requires 3D Secure, which these cards do not support, and use from a country on the card's restricted list, which can also get the card blocked.
Ready when you are
Pick a card at the top of this page, pay from your own wallet, and watch the order settle live. If it is your first card here, start with a small denomination and redeem it before you trust the flow with more.
Prepaid cards are issued through our card issuing partner and its issuing companies, not by StealthSwap. Availability, denominations, fees and country restrictions are set by the issuer and can change. Crypto payments are real transactions on public chains and cannot be reversed once sent. StealthSwap does not hold card balances, does not guarantee acceptance at any particular merchant, and does not give financial, legal or tax advice.
