  • 2026-09-09: the marketing page advertises zero Tria FX/withdrawal fees, while January card terms still list potential charges. Confirm the disclosures applicable to your actual account; do not treat marketing as a zero-cost guarantee. Cashback caps in the terms apply from June 2026.

FAQ

Does self-custody remove every Tria card risk?

No. Tria describes a self-custodial wallet, but the card terms provide for collateral-backed charges and liquidation. That is not a promise that assets can move only when you make a purchase. Check issuer, smart-contract, repayment and recovery terms separately.

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.
