Vivid Money

Vivid's consumer crypto card is alive and regulated: free-first physical Visa, 300+ coins from EUR 1 under a Dutch AFM MiCAR CASP licence (custody via Copper), 2% default crypto trading fee and plan-capped cashback. The B2B pivot is real but the personal product demonstrably operates - with a documented 2026 freeze/support complaint pattern typical of partner-rail neobanks.
