FAQ
Still Have Questions?
The biggest difference is our pricing model. Most virtual cards charge multiple fees — monthly subscriptions, per-transaction fees, international markup fees, inactivity fees and more. Rivocard charges exactly one fee: 5% when you load your card. Once loaded, every purchase, every international transaction and every card management action is completely free.
Correct — there is absolutely no monthly or annual subscription fee. Rivocard has no pricing tiers, no premium plans and no recurring charges. You pay 5% only when you choose to load money onto your card. If you do not load, you do not pay anything at all.
No — you do not need a bank account or any credit history to get a Rivocard. We do not run credit checks. Anyone with internet access and a verified identity can create a card. This makes Rivocard accessible to the unbanked, freelancers, students and anyone in underserved markets.
Your virtual Visa card is issued in under 60 seconds after sign-up. Once you load your card with funds, you can start spending immediately at any of the 50M+ merchants worldwide that accept Visa online. There is no physical card to wait for and no activation process.
Yes — this is one of the most popular uses for Rivocard. Digital marketers and agencies use Rivocard to fund Google Ads, Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Ads, TikTok Ads and other platforms. With zero purchase fees, every dollar you load goes directly into your campaigns with no deductions.
Nothing happens — and nothing is charged. Since Rivocard has no monthly fees, subscriptions or inactivity fees, your card and balance remain exactly as you left them. There is no penalty for not using your card. Use it as frequently or as rarely as you like.
