Crypto card fees on Holyheld, and what it offers

Three fields decide what Holyheld costs: the annual fee, the issuance fee and the top-up fee. For this card the dataset holds an annual fee of Free, an issuance fee of $29 and a top-up fee of 0.75%. Top-up is the one that recurs, because it is charged each time value is moved onto the card, which is why it costs more over a year than the annual fee usually does. Holyheld publishes an ATM limit of EUR 1,000, which is the most it will hand out in cash.

A dash in this table means the provider dataset holds no value for that field. It does not mean the fee is zero. Fee and limit data was last updated 2026-10-02.

Where Holyheld is available

The provider lists EU, EEA as supported, and excludes US, GB, CN, RU, JP, AU, CA. Availability is the first thing to check, because a lower fee does not help if the provider will not issue to you.

Cashback and rewards are paid in USDC.

What people say about Holyheld

Short extracts from public reviews, kept short and linked back to the source, collected 2026-09-29. These are other people's opinions, not ours.

These come from Trustpilot and cover the whole Holyheld service, not only the card, so account handling, support and transfers appear alongside anything about spending. They are the reviews the source lists first, not a balanced or curated selection, so a run of complaints can appear here exactly as it does on the source. A block is only shown when enough of the collected reviews actually discuss spending with crypto, because a brand name is not a product and some providers share a name with an unrelated business. Read this section for the provider's reputation and the table above for what the card itself charges and does.
