Top up with Tether on TRON (TRC-20)  fastest and cheapest path to a working virtual card. ~20 second settlement, ~$0.50 in TRC-20 network fees.
USDT on TRON (TRC-20) is the funding rail we recommend when time matters. Block time on TRON is ~3 seconds; we credit your account on the first confirmation, so end-to-end the deposit takes about 20 seconds from "send" to "card-issuable."
We support USDT on four chains: ERC-20 (Ethereum), TRC-20 (TRON), Solana (SPL), and BEP-20 (Binance Smart Chain). For speed and cost, TRC-20 wins:
Tether exists on multiple chains; addresses are NOT interchangeable. The address we show under "USDT TRC-20" is a TRON address (starts with T). Do NOT send ERC-20 USDT to it  those funds will be lost. Same for the inverse: do NOT send TRC-20 USDT to our ERC-20 address.
If you accidentally sent the wrong chain, we cannot recover the funds. Match the chain to the address.
TRC-20 settles in seconds for ~$0.50 in network fees. ERC-20 takes 5-15 minutes and costs $5-30 in network fees. For most users, TRC-20 is the obvious pick.

The funds are lost. We cannot recover cross-chain mis-sends. Always double-check the network before sending.
Yes, $5. Below that the 2% deposit fee + the network fee makes the math unfavourable.
TRC-20 transactions need ~13 TRX (~$2 at typical prices) for energy and bandwidth, OR the network burns ~13 TRX worth from your balance. If sending from an exchange, the exchange handles this internally  usually a flat $1 fee.
Yes  USDT TRC-20 is widely available globally, including in regions where bank transfers are restricted.
Pick a BIN above, top up with any of 20 cryptocurrencies, and your card is ready to use the moment the deposit confirms.
