They started asking for KYC verification not so long ago. NO KYC was a good selling point but not any more.
solcard.cc asking for KYC now
And support doesn't reply at all
That card top-up fee is too high to my liking on top of the Tx fees. Not a card that now requires KYC verification. Maybe they should revise the fees too.
I remembered having an account with them and I logged in today. I tested the card creation process for their virtual card and it did not ask for KYC. When searching their Telegram group, there are some people who say KYC is mandatory and some who say cards can be created without KYC. Even though it might be possible sometimes, I would not choose this card if staying anonymous was important to me.
I think the virtual card for spending online is non-KYC, and the 'platinum' one for Google and Apple Pay has KYC. At least thats what the live chat said.

I actually did KYC years ago, but their email system for some reason decided to stop sending confirmation links to my email address (other addresses still work), and because the automated KYC checker rejects duplicate submissions, I am essentially locked out of the service.
It's a shame, because it's a good card, but I contacted support about it - Interstellar from Telegram - and he basically said something along the lines of Protonmail rejecting/dropping messages coming from their servers. But that can't be true because other email addresses from Proton also work.
Fortunately I don't have a balance in there but it's a really bad issue.
I once made a new e-mail, and right after I used it in a service. The email was still not active apparently, and when the service tried to email me, they got a 'does not exist' error, which ended up in a blacklist of the email. I never could receive more emails from that service.. I had to create a new one with Proton. Maybe it's something like this?
And could you please elaborate on what you mean by 'good card'? Did you actually use it and have decent amounts on it without problems?
1. The service claims to be trusted by 500,000+ users, but a quick Google search reveals that the number of reviews is far less than that.
2. The service claims to be registered in Hong Kong with the legal details SC PAYMENTS LIMITED · BRN 78350827, but a search for the registration number yielded little information. Furthermore, "SC PAYMENTS LIMITED" is associated with a paid UK registration number—a common practice among scammers.
3. The service requires completion of KYC before any payments can be made.
Since KYC is mandatory, there are many alternatives available, so there's no reason to risk using this service, especially given the lack of a detailed explanation of the fees.
In short, it's more of a scam, and there are better alternatives for those who can complete KYC.
Thanks for sharing. I found a lot of red flags as well, but some people report it's a good card... So I don't know what to believe. I'm not going to put any money down before I see some more positive reports though.
