Fees and terms at other providers change often, so check them at the source before deciding. The figures above are the current Nummus terms.

Where Nummus is the wrong choice

  • You want to hold and spend volatile coins directly — Nummus is built around USD stablecoins
  • You're chasing token-staking cashback tiers — that's not what this account does
  • You only spend in your home currency from a local salary — a local bank card will be cheaper

It fits best when your income arrives in stablecoins from clients or platforms abroad and you need to spend it without a bank in the middle.
