Cost & Returns

On $500/mo spend, the estimated monthly cost breakdown for Holyheld Card is: gas $0.00, conversion spread $0.00, flat transaction fees $0.00, and amortised card/tier fee $2.42, for a total drag of 0.5% of spend. After $3.00/mo cashback that nets a gain of about $0.58/mo ($6.96/yr). Holyheld Card tops up from a centralized balance, so there is no on-chain gas cost regardless of how often you reload. This card bills in EUR. Spending in another currency adds a 3% FX fee; these figures do not include it. Figures are conservative estimates and vary with conditions.

Note: Holyheld now presents itself as a Swiss fintech for companies and individuals making global payments, and every account is invite-only: applicants request an invite and Holyheld reviews each application. Individual membership costs CHF 0 a year and company membership CHF 500 a year, by invitation. CARD ABSENT FROM MARKETING PAGES (2026-10-24): the personal pricing page, the homepage and the FAQ no longer mention a card at all (the earlier 'spend by card' line is gone) and holyheld.com/card returns 404, while Holyheld's terms (updated 1 July 2026) still say members can order the card issued by Holyheld's partners. The current site publishes no card fee, cashback rate, card network or card country list, so whether an invited individual can obtain a card today, and on what terms, is not confirmed. The 0.5% (Classic, Limited Edition) and 1% (Metal) USDC cashback rates and the EUR 29 / 99 / 199 card fees recorded here come from Holyheld legal pages last updated 25 May 2023 and 19 March 2025, which are still served but are no longer linked from the site's Legal index. Previously recorded card details, not restated on the current site: supports 20+ blockchains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, Solana, Avalanche, BNB Chain, zkSync, Gnosis, Mode, Starknet, Berachain, Hyperliquid, Plume, Ink, Manta Pacific, Blast, Aleph Zero EVM, Polygon zkEVM, Plasma), 1,200+ cryptos. No staking required. Cashback paid in USDC, claimable on any supported chain (30-day claim delay). €125/mo cashback cap. 30 EEA countries. Limited Edition card (€99, same 0.5% rate as Classic, collector/design tier). Top-ups are gasless: Holyheld sponsors the gas, so the user pays no on-chain gas to fund the card. Card spending settles on-chain from the user's own connected wallet via the Holyheld smart contract, across 20+ supported networks. Dormancy fees apply after 4 months (card) and 5 months (IBAN). Individual transfer pricing on the current site: 1% on-ramp and off-ramp, $20 wires, $1 outgoing same-day ACH, EUR 1 outgoing SEPA, free Faster Payments and incoming transfers.
