Getting started
How to get a crypto card if you hold crypto already
To get a crypto card from Nomux, you open an account, connect Telegram, transfer no less than 50 USDT in a supported coin, and order a card against the balance. This page walks that route and names each fee where it applies, without explaining crypto basics you already know.
Open an accountThe route from account to first payment
- Create the account Register with Nomux by email or with a Telegram login. Nomux wants no name, home address or documents, and nothing goes off for review.
- Add a second factor and connect Telegram Nomux offers TOTP two-factor sign-in during registration, compatible with any standard authenticator app. Connecting Telegram is mandatory before your first top-up or card order.
- Top up Start a top-up request, choose the coin plus its network, and transfer to the address Nomux generates for that request. The sum shown already includes the 1% fee.
- Order the card Pick a product whose entry threshold your balance meets. Nomux compares the two when you place the order, and your first virtual card costs nothing.
- Pay with it Enter the card number at an online checkout, save it for a subscription, or put it into Google Pay or Apple Pay on the 5 products that support phone wallets.
Before you begin
You need email or a Telegram login for the account, Telegram itself to connect, and sufficient crypto to cover both the top-up floor and the threshold your chosen card sets.
Size your first transfer to whichever of those numbers is larger. Nomux credits top-ups from 50 USDT, while entry thresholds range between 100 USDT for the cheapest product and 1,000 USDT for the most demanding one.
A virtual Nomux card needs no passport, selfie or proof of address. Deposits are still screened, and one that triggers an AML or sanctions concern can lead Nomux to ask about the origin of the funds.
Making the first top-up
Every Nomux top-up starts as a request. You select coin and network first, and the deposit address Nomux shows belongs to that request and that network only.
Transfer on exactly the network you selected in Nomux. Nomux takes USDT via TRON (TRC-20), Ethereum (ERC-20) and BNB Chain (BEP-20), USDC via TRON (TRC-20), Ethereum (ERC-20) and Arbitrum, plus BTC, ETH and TRX on their own chains. Coins sent over any other network will not reach the balance.
The fee works upward rather than downward: transferring 101 credits 100 USDT, and transferring 1,010 credits 1,000 USDT. Each network needs a fixed number of confirmations before Nomux credits the funds: 20 blocks on TRON, 7 blocks on Ethereum, 1 blocks on Bitcoin, 120 blocks on Arbitrum and 15 blocks on BNB Chain.
Picking a card
Nomux offers 6 card products, and their limits are all counted in USDT, so they compare directly whatever currency each card is issued in. The fees page sets them out side by side.
Placing a card order freezes your entire available balance until activation. That freeze covers the balance as it stood when you ordered, so money topped up afterwards stays free to use. Activation releases it, after which the full balance, threshold included, can be spent.
The products also differ in what they can do. 5 of them work with Google Pay, Apple Pay and ATMs, while the Luxembourg card is meant purely for online payments and in return has the lowest threshold, 100 USDT. A higher threshold also tends to mean fewer declines at checkout.
Paying, and the cost of each payment
Each card payment carries a transaction fee somewhere between 0.5% and 1.5%, by product. Spending in the currency the card was issued in involves no conversion; any other currency is converted at the card network's rate, and Nomux puts no markup on it.
Cash withdrawals work with 5 products out of 6; each withdrawal costs 1% or 2%, by product.
Some merchants turn away virtual or prepaid cards under their own rules; hotel deposits and car rental counters are the usual cases. That refusal comes from the merchant, and it happens to virtual cards whoever issued them, not only to Nomux.

FAQ
What people ask before their first card
How do I get a crypto card from Nomux?

What is the smallest top-up, and what is the fee?

USDT via TRON (TRC-20), Ethereum (ERC-20) and BNB Chain (BEP-20), USDC via TRON (TRC-20), Ethereum (ERC-20) and Arbitrum, plus BTC, ETH and TRX on their own chains. The deposit address belongs to whichever network you picked in the Nomux app.
How big must the balance be to order a card?
Each Nomux product sets its own entry threshold: 100 USDT for the Luxembourg card, 200 for Singapore, 250 for the United Kingdom, 300 for France, 500 for Spain and 1,000 for the Netherlands. Nomux checks it a single time, at order.
Does a card order freeze my money?
Yes, for that window only. A Nomux card order freezes the entire available balance up to activation; after that the full balance, threshold amount included, can be spent.

Your first virtual card on Nomux is free. Every further card costs 10 USDT, deducted from the balance when the card is activated.
Do I have to set up two-factor authentication?
Nomux offers TOTP two-factor sign-in during registration and recommends it, because it stops a stolen password alone from opening the account. Any standard authenticator app supports it.
