Card rules and limits
First-time recharge threshold: After opening the card, you need to transfer enough USD from Pay to the card (it is recommended to cover the card opening fee + first consumption/subscription amount + handling fee buffer)
⚠️ Transfer the reserved balance: The card balance must be transferred back to Pay before you can withdraw cash; when transferring out, please refer to the "Transferable Balance" on the card details page. Insufficient balance will only cause the transaction to fail/reject payment, but will not cause the card to be frozen.
⚠️ Consumption limit (the Flash Card has a separate set of standards, different from the Cloud Card/Boundless Card): $20,000 for a single transaction; 100 purchases per day, a cumulative total of $1,000,000; 2,500 purchases per month, a cumulative total of $5,000,000; 25,000 purchases per year, a cumulative total $10,000,000 (the Flash Card is a virtual card and does not support ATM cash withdrawal). The above is the product upper limit. Your actual available limit is subject to the display in the app, and may be dynamically tightened based on transaction conditions due to risk control.
⚠️ Freeze / unfreeze: only two cases freeze a card — you freeze it yourself in the App (self-service unfreeze anytime); or the issuer freezes it after 3 wrong CVV entries within 24 hours (contact official support; support sends a letter to the issuer to request unfreeze).
⚠️Card cancellation: only triggered by the user in the app and has nothing to do with balance or chargeback; a 3 USDT clearing fee will be charged for card deletion
Additional restrictions related to Apple Pay: Because it supports Apple Pay, Flash Card has additional prohibition/restriction rules in some scenarios. For details, please refer to the section "Additional Prohibition Scenarios for Flash Card" in "MPCard Prohibited Consumption Scenarios".
