Gnosis Pay

Gnosis Pay issues a self-custodial Visa debit card that spends regulated stablecoins (EURe, GBPe or USDCe) from a Safe smart account you control, not a custodial balance. It advertises no added transaction, FX or off-ramp fees and tiered GNO cashback, but funding is stablecoin-only, ATM access is capped and availability is region-gated.

  • 2026-09-09: corrected USDCe issuer/bridge distinction. Google Wallet help supports EEA, Switzerland, Gibraltar, UK and Brazil; do not assume every issuing market. Fee/limit table remains consistent. Incident recovery URL returned a bot challenge, so incident status was not revalidated.

FAQ

Is Gnosis Pay custodial?

No. Funds sit in a Safe smart account you control and are spent as EURe, GBPe or USDCe stablecoins; Gnosis Pay states it never holds your assets, so wallet security and recovery are your responsibility.

Can a crypto card replace a bank account?

No. Treat it as a specialized spending tool and keep regulated backup accounts for essential money.

What should I verify first?

Issuer support, KYC rules, custody model, spending fees, ATM costs, card network support and current reward terms.
