Roqqu is not a bank. It is a crypto exchange platform that also happens to issue a virtual payment card, and it comes with a score of 4.5 out of 10 in my assessment. That number is not a punishment for being fraudulent — it is what happens when a product asks you to trust it with money while leaving out almost everything you would need to decide: who you are dealing with, what the fees are, which countries are allowed, which networks your coins have to travel on, and what your spending limits actually are.

The conditions described here are current as of October 28, 2026.

Let me say up front who this card is for, because that matters more than the score. Roqqu is aimed at people already using the Roqqu exchange who hold stablecoins and want to spend them online or in stores without converting to their bank account first. If that is you, the concept is genuinely convenient: you convert at the point of sale and the balance leaves your crypto directly. If you are anyone who needs an ordinary bank card that always works, has a published price list, and a phone number you can read on a public page — Roqqu is not the tool for you, and it does not claim to be.

My score for the Roqqu card, criterion by criterion

Here is how the total breaks down. I did not weight anything specially; each line is the mark I gave that one area based on what Roqqu’s own public pages actually said.

Total: 4.5 / 10.

I want to be honest about what that everyday-use mark means. It is the lowest score I gave, and it is the one most likely to change if you already have an answer to a question I could not. The public page describes a “Virtual Flexibility” card with customisable designs and says nothing about whether a physical card exists, which network it runs on, whether it works in Apple Pay or Google Pay, or whether it works at cash machines. An earlier check of the card described a prepaid Visa. If you need a physical card in your hand, or need to tap it at a terminal that only takes one network, that absence of information is itself the finding — you cannot plan around a page that will not tell you.

Will they give you the card

Short answer: they will not say. The page names no countries. It says only “supported markets”. The general terms explain that access depends on where you live and which countries Roqqu operates in, and that eligibility is reassessed on an ongoing basis.

That is the whole of it, and it is a frustrating thing to read when you are trying to answer a very practical question: can I use this where I live? The honest answer is that the card’s own operator has not published the list. “Ongoing reassessment” also cuts both ways — it means access is not a one-time yes, which is worth keeping in mind if you are planning to rely on this card for anything continuous.

One detail from the same page that does not get much attention: this is a virtual card. Whatever the answer to the eligibility question, you are not receiving a piece of plastic in the post. The card FAQ offers some answers but does not display them on the page, so the questions that would settle this — network, physical availability, delivery — have no answers to read.

How to get it

Registration follows the pattern you would expect: the general terms say that registering means giving your legal name, a government ID and your date of birth, and that you must be 18 or the legal age where you live. The card’s own FAQ answer on KYC is not shown on the public page, so what I can tell you comes from the terms rather than from the card page.

Two things about verification are worth knowing in advance, because both can change what you are able to do later. The terms say your transaction limits depend on your verification level and your tier. And they say higher limits may require enhanced due diligence. No tiers are described, no verification levels are described, and no timings are given — so you cannot tell from the page how long it takes to move up, or what “enhanced due diligence” means in practice for your documents.

I am not going to describe how to get around any of this. Identity checks on a card like this are not optional decoration; they are the part that decides whether you can use the product at all, and a provider that cannot describe its verification levels is telling you something real about how much of the process is self-service.

Fees: what it really costs

Here is the hardest part of this review to write. I cannot give you a price, because Roqqu does not give one. The card page links to a fees page, and that fees page contains no card fees. Issuance, monthly fee, conversion, foreign-exchange and ATM charges are all not stated. Currency is not stated. Tiers are not stated, though the terms mention tiers as something that affects limits.

Once you see that table, every other section of this review changes tone. I do not have to guess whether a hidden conversion fee would make this card a bad deal for you, because the number that would decide it does not exist publicly. What I can say is that a card which does not publish its conversion fee, and does not publish its foreign-exchange fee, cannot be compared to any other card on cost — and if you spend money abroad, the currency question is not a detail, it is usually the largest line on the bill.

I did check what the wider category normally looks like, because absence of a fee is not the same as absence of a fee. On other crypto cards you will find things like a percentage conversion fee, a foreign-exchange fee on top of the network rate, and sometimes a country tax applied to foreign transactions. Some of those are percentages small enough to ignore; some are large enough to decide the card for you. Roqqu tells you about none of them.

Let me walk through three ordinary payments so the gaps become concrete. Buying a coffee: you tap, the amount is authorised, and behind the scenes your crypto is converted at whatever rate Roqqu applies on that day — a conversion fee the site does not publish, on a rate the site does not show you. Booking a flight in a currency other than your own: now a foreign-exchange fee applies, and I cannot tell you whether it exists, what it is, or whether a network rate is charged on top of it. Withdrawing cash: whether the card works in an ATM at all is not stated, and if it does, what it costs is not stated either.

Two or three of those questions are the ones to ask before you rely on the card for anything. Which crypto is converted, at what rate, with what fee. Whether the card currency is fixed or chosen by you. Whether the ATM works. The card’s own public pages will not answer them, so you will have to ask support — the page advertises 24/7 support — and I would judge the quality of the answer you get as part of your decision.

How to Top up

The card’s funding model is stated plainly and it is the one genuinely appealing thing about Roqqu: “spend your crypto directly online or in-store”, through what the page calls “Direct Conversions”. An earlier check of the card described stablecoins held in a Roqqu wallet and converted in real time at each purchase. That is a real convenience for someone who lives in crypto — you are not sending funds to an exchange, waiting for a settlement, and pushing the remainder back out again.

And that is the extent of it. The current page does not list which coins or which networks are supported. How you top up — beyond spending what you already hold — is not stated. Withdrawing money from the card is not stated. I could only find one relevant line in the terms, and it is a warning rather than an answer: digital asset transactions cannot be reversed once they have been broadcast.

That warning deserves more attention than it usually gets, and not only for Roqqu. A blockchain transfer is irreversible in general. If you send funds on a network the card provider does not support, or to an address belonging to a different network, the money can be lost or need manual recovery with no guarantee of success. Choosing the network wrong is the single most common irreversible mistake in this whole category of product, and it is why “which networks” is not a detail question. On Roqqu’s public pages I could not find the answer.

If you already keep your tokens on a chain the card does not support, converting through the exchange first is the obvious route — but the conversion fee, which is not published, is what that convenience will cost you.

Paying with it every day

The card is virtual, with customisable designs. Beyond that, the everyday-use picture is largely blank: which wallet you pay from is not stated, whether you can add it to Apple Wallet or Google Pay is not stated, and there is no rewards or cashback information on the page.

The app is worth a mention, because it is one of the few concrete things you can see. There are App Store and Google Play badges, and a “4.25 Stores” figure appears on the page without explanation — I did not read the store listings, so I cannot tell you what the ratings are or how many people have left them. An unexplained rating is a small thing, but it is a fair sample of how much of the product’s presentation is finished.

Disputes are the part I would think about hardest. The terms describe Roqqu as a platform rather than a counterparty: disputes are resolved directly with the business, chargebacks appear only in the context of fraud, and the formal route is a complaint-handling process at a separate page. This is a structural fact about how this card sits in the payment chain, and it affects you. Normally when a shop takes your money and does not deliver, the card network’s dispute process stands behind you. Under the terms as written here, you are describing the problem to the same platform that holds your balance. If that matters to you — and for anyone spending their salary on this card, it should — it is a serious mark against the product, and it is not one I can score away.

What can go wrong

Start with the company, because that is where I would start. The general terms name Roqqu Nigeria Limited. The site footer names Roqqu Technologies. The relationship between the two is not explained. The issuing institution and the licences are not named on the page. So the questions a reasonable person asks — who is my creditor here, which regulator supervises them, what am I covered by — do not have public answers.

Then the reviews. Roqqu’s Trustpilot rating is 3.6 out of 5 from 104 reviews, with only 2 in the last 12 months as I read it on 2026-10-21. The same page also carries a “4.0 Trust Pilot / 300” figure, which does not match; treat the numbers with caution. On the themes, these are user reports rather than established facts, and I have found no card-specific complaints: deposits and withdrawals not arriving, dated October 2023 and October 2025; slow support, November 2023 and February 2026; locked accounts and assets held, November 2023 and June 2024; identity-verification problems, December 2023 and January 2025. I found no dated, card-related incidents in official channels, and no dated card-related events in the news.

One of those themes deserves a specific word, because it is the one that hurts most. An account locked with assets held is a problem you can only solve if the company decides to solve it. There is no chargeback button, no regulator to escalate to in the way there would be with a bank, and no published dispute route beyond the platform’s own complaint process. If your income or your savings sit in that balance, the risk is not that the card gets declined in a shop. It is that the balance is unavailable to you for a period you did not choose and cannot end.

On the security side the page says the usual and slightly more than the usual: cold storage, two-factor authentication, email and SMS transaction notifications, “ISO 27001 certified”, and an NDPR audit dated 2024. What is not stated is the custody model for card funds — where the money sits between loading and spending. Given that this is a virtual card spending a pre-loaded balance, that is the question I would want answered first.

A few category-level things to keep in mind, because they apply here as much as anywhere else. Merchants can look up the issuer country from the card’s BIN and apply extra scrutiny when it differs from your billing address; some decline prepaid or foreign-issued cards outright. Address verification is mainly offered in the US, Canada and the UK and is generally unavailable for foreign-issued cards, which causes declines. A declined authorisation can leave a hold on your funds for several days. And a prepaid card is not a credit card: the rights you may have heard of in a consumer context should not be assumed to apply.

What to take instead

If the problem you are trying to solve is spending crypto without going through your bank, Roqqu is not the only option, and the alternatives publish more than it does. Here is where they stand on the same criteria.

Bybit Card is the most transparent of the three on the things that matter to your wallet. It publishes regions — Argentina, AIFC (Kazakhstan), Georgia, Kazakhstan, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Asia Pacific — and states plainly that it is not meant for European Economic Area customers. It publishes issuance and replacement fees, with virtual issuance free across all regions and physical fees ranging from 29.99 USD in Australia to 5 USD in Argentina and Asia Pacific. It publishes conversion at 0.9% over the One-Click Sell rate in most regions, 0.5% in Argentina, and foreign-exchange fees from 2% on top of the network rate to other rates elsewhere. It also publishes its rewards ladder in detail: cashback from 2% at Base up to 10% at Infinite, with monthly caps from 5 USD to 600 USD. Its catch is that the card has no balance of its own — it draws on your funding account and, when fiat runs short, sells crypto. And its restricted-country list for its fiat services includes Belarus, Russia, Serbia, China and the United States, with Russian users limited to RUB transactions in fiat. There was no card-specific statement about Russian or Belarusian citizens and no citizenship-versus-residence rule, so if that is your situation, this is a question for their support rather than something I can resolve.

MEXC is the middle option on disclosure and the clearest on availability. Its page lists countries starting “The Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand…” with a Details link for the full list. Issuance is shown as 20 USD with an adjacent discounted price that is unclear on the page, service fee 0%, monthly fee not stated. Funding is USDT transferred to your fiat account, networks not stated. Cashback runs by M-Score tier from 4% up to 10%, paid by the 15th of the following month. Virtual only — physical cards are described as not yet available.

MSX scores highest at 6.4 in my comparison, and I want to be honest about why: on the official pages I could read, the eligibility, card type, costs, fees, funding and rewards are simply not stated. Its position here rests on what I could not find as much as on what I could. I would not present that as a recommendation to open it — I would present it as a card to investigate, and to ask the same questions of that I have asked of Roqqu.

The pattern across all four is worth stating plainly. Roqqu is the only one of the four where the fee table is entirely empty. Bybit’s is long and specific. MEXC’s is partial but present. That difference is what a 4.5 and a 6.0 are made of.

Who I would recommend it to

I would recommend Roqqu to someone in a specific position: you already hold stablecoins on the Roqqu platform, you want to spend them without a bank in the middle, you accept that you will not be told what a payment costs, and you would rather not keep a large balance here than move through an exchange and a bank account each time. For that person, the direct-conversion model is genuinely better than the alternative, and the fact that the card is virtual and customisable is a small, pleasant thing.

I would not recommend it as a primary card to anyone. The combination that decides it for me is not any single complaint, it is the stack: no published fees, no named issuer or licence, no named countries, no stated limits, a custody model for card funds that is not described, and a terms document in which you are told to raise disputes with the platform that holds your money. Add a user-reported pattern of accounts locked with assets held, and the picture is consistent even though each piece is individually arguable.

If you are outside a supported market, or you need a card that works everywhere without surprises, or you need a physical card, or cash from an ATM, or you simply want to know what you are paying — I would look elsewhere. Not because Roqqu is doing something wrong that I have caught, but because it is asking for a level of trust that its public information does not earn.

Frequently asked questions

What is Roqqu card?

Roqqu is a crypto exchange platform that also offers a virtual payment card. The card is described as “Virtual Flexibility”, with customisable designs, and it lets you “spend your crypto directly online or in-store” through what the page calls direct conversions. It is not a bank, and the terms name Roqqu Nigeria Limited without explaining the issuing institution or its licences. The card has no balance of its own that I could find described.

Is Roqqu a bank?

No, and it does not present itself as one. The terms describe Roqqu as a platform rather than a counterparty. Roqqu Nigeria Limited is named in the terms and Roqqu Technologies in the site footer, with the relationship between them unexplained, and no issuing institution or licences are named on the page. Where your dispute goes if a shop takes your money and does not deliver is also part of this: the terms point at the platform’s own complaint process.

Who owns Roqqu?

The public pages name two entities without connecting them. The general terms name Roqqu Nigeria Limited, which tells you the operator is Nigerian. The site footer names Roqqu Technologies. No explanation of the relationship appears on either page, and no licence or regulator is named. So the honest answer is that the pages give you a country and two company names, but not a corporate structure you could rely on.

Can I use Roqqu card in my country?

I cannot tell you, and neither can the card. The public page names no countries at all — only “supported markets” — and the general terms say access depends on where you live and which countries Roqqu operates in, with eligibility reassessed on an ongoing basis. So the right move is to ask Roqqu directly, in writing, before you rely on it, and to treat a vague answer as a no.

How do I get the Roqqu card?

Registration follows the standard path: the general terms say you provide your legal name, a government ID and your date of birth, and that you must be 18 or the legal age where you live. The card’s own FAQ answer on KYC is not shown on the page. The terms add that your limits depend on your verification level and tier, and that higher limits may require enhanced due diligence, with no tiers or timings published.

What does a Roqqu card cost?

Roqqu does not publish the numbers. The card page links to a fees page, and that page lists no card fees. Issuance, monthly fee, conversion, foreign exchange, ATM charges, and daily and monthly limits are all not stated, as is the card currency. That means the cost cannot be compared with any other card, because the figure that would decide it does not exist publicly.

How do I top up the Roqqu card?

The card spends crypto you already hold: “spend your crypto directly online or in-store”, through direct conversions, with an earlier check describing stablecoins in a Roqqu wallet converted in real time at each purchase. Beyond that, top-up methods are not stated, and neither is withdrawing from the card. The terms do warn that digital asset transactions cannot be reversed once broadcast.

Is Roqqu card safe?

It depends entirely on what you are protecting. Roqqu publishes the familiar security claims — cold storage, two-factor authentication, email and SMS transaction notifications, “ISO 27001 certified”, and an NDPR audit dated 2024. What is not stated is the custody model for card funds. Trustpilot shows 3.6 out of 5 from 104 reviews, with user reports of locked accounts, held assets and identity-verification problems.

Is Roqqu card free?

I cannot tell you, because no card fee is published anywhere on the pages I read — including the fees page the card page links to. That includes issuance and any monthly charge. It also includes the two fees that usually decide whether a crypto card is worth using: the conversion fee on each purchase and any foreign-exchange fee. Absence of a published fee is not the same as absence of a fee.

Is Roqqu card worth it?

Worth it for a narrow case: you already hold stablecoins on Roqqu and want to spend them without routing through a bank, and you are content not to be told what a payment costs. Not worth it as a primary card, because the fee table is empty, the issuing institution and licences are unnamed, the supported countries are not listed, and the terms tell you to raise disputes with the platform holding your balance. Compare Bybit Card, which publishes its regions, fees and rewards in full.
