A new project, LemoCard, has entered the crypto-financial services market with support from Mastercard and Visa

A new project, LemoCard, has entered the crypto-financial services market, offering users a multi-card service for payments using cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies, the project’s organizers told Open4Business.

The platform operates 24/7. It also offers round-the-clock customer support in five languages.

You can open a virtual account in just a few minutes via Telegram, the official web version of the service, or mobile apps for iOS and Android.

To fully use the wallet, users must complete the standard KYC identity verification process. This is a mandatory step for financial services that work with payment cards and cryptocurrency transactions.

At this stage, the service offers two Mastercard cards in euros. LemoCard also supports direct SEPA transfers between European accounts within the system. The developers plan to add Visa cards in dollars in the near future.

One of the service’s drawbacks is the 2.5% fee for topping up the card with cryptocurrency converted to euros. The project claims that competitors often offset lower rates with hidden fees.

LemoCard is compatible with Apple Pay and Google Pay, allowing users to make contactless payments with the cards. In addition, users can request delivery of a physical card by mail.
