Send reveals new Crypto Card

Send just released their card today, and here are my first impressions

The Send Card is a great card with little to no hype perks; However, just a little bit of work on it will go a long way.

Rating: 6/10

This is a card I was excited for, and so when I saw their announcement, I love Wirex in general, and so I signed up quickly. I probably won't be making the switch over.

  • The UI is great, and that was what we all expected
  • The app works intuitively; the process of grabbing my card was easy.
  • Good investment options, + RWA stocks, + CUSD deposit option
  • Self-Custody (sort of, you top up the card separately)
  • US Bank transfer availability.
  • Too much KYC (Mobile number, ID, Proof of address, ugg, Facial scan), then had to do the - KYC again for Bank Transfer?
  • Lack of docs detailing the card
  • Glitches in topping up to my card
  • No cashback

I tested it out tonight; my wife wanted chocolate at 10 pm, so I took a trip to the gas station and bought this Cadbury chocolate for R29.90.

VISA rate is R29.99 = $1.87.

Send Card rate was R29.99 = $1.92 - a 2.2% FX fee added

The app claims a $0.00 fee, which isn't true. Nowhere do I see documents showcasing the card's details and its fees.

That being said... The card is barely a few hours old, so I'll give this another test in the coming weeks.
