Anyone 18 or over (or the age of majority where you live, if higher) who completes verification and isn’t a resident of a restricted jurisdiction. The list is on the Countries page.

No. The card is topped up with USDT or USDC from a crypto wallet or exchange — or with a transfer from another Magic user. No bank account, no card-to-card transfers.

The virtual card is $40 and the physical card is $250. Top-ups carry no Magic fee; card payments cost 3.5% of the amount. The full list is on the Fees and limits page.

Usually about two minutes. You’ll need a valid passport, national ID card or driver’s license, a selfie and proof of address. Details are on the Verification page.

Magic runs as a web app. It works in any browser on your phone or computer. Add it to your home screen to open it like a regular app.

The virtual card is for online purchases and paying by phone through Apple Pay or Google Pay; it has no PIN and doesn’t work at ATMs. The physical card adds payment terminals and cash withdrawals. Both share one balance.

You can collect the card free of charge at the Magic office in Dubai (ask support for the address and hours) or order delivery to another country (the fee depends on the country and is shown in the app). Delivery takes 7–14 days from when you order, and the card is handed to you in person.

Open the app, go to the card and tap “Activate”. Until then the physical card can’t be used, while the virtual card keeps working as usual.

In the app, on the physical card’s screen. The PIN is never printed on paper or sent by email.

One virtual and one physical card per account. Both draw from the same balance.

A virtual card is valid for 3 years. Before a card expires, order a replacement in the app; the balance stays on your account.

In the app, on the card’s screen. Withdraw the remaining balance with “Withdraw” — in USDT (TRON, BNB Chain, Polygon) or USDC (BNB Chain, Polygon) to your wallet address, from $10, with the network fee charged on top — once any pending transactions, disputes and pre-authorizations have been settled. Transfers to another Magic user are instant and free.

Freeze it in the app immediately, check your recent transactions, then order a replacement (virtual — $40, physical — for a fee; the app shows the fee). Step-by-step instructions are on the Security page.

USDT on TRON (TRC-20), BNB Chain (BEP-20) and Polygon, plus USDC on BNB Chain (BEP-20) and Polygon. You can also top up with a transfer from another Magic user — it arrives instantly. Don’t send other coins or networks.

Blockchain transfers are irreversible: funds sent to someone else’s or a wrong address usually can’t be recovered. Contact support in the app with the transaction hash. We’ll check what can be done, but we can’t promise a return. Always take the address in the app for the coin and network you chose, and check it in full. See the top-up rules.

Unfortunately, funds sent on an unsupported network or in the wrong coin usually can’t be recovered. Always check the coin and network before confirming a transfer.

First, check the transaction in the network explorer. Top-ups are credited 1–3 minutes after 1 network confirmation. If the transaction is confirmed but your balance hasn’t updated, contact us via “Support” in the app and include the transaction hash. Don’t send a second transfer to the same address “just in case”.

Yes, it depends on the network: USDT on TRON — 20 USDT; USDT and USDC on BNB Chain and Polygon — 1. The sender pays the network fee.

Other coins and networks are planned. We’ll announce them in the app and on the site when they go live.

The most common reasons: the card is frozen; there isn’t enough balance once the conversion rate is applied; a limit was exceeded; the merchant is in a blocked category (for example, gambling or buying crypto); the 3-D Secure code wasn’t entered; or the relevant toggle (online, contactless or ATM) is switched off.

That’s a pre-authorization: the merchant reserved the amount but didn’t confirm the charge. The hold is released automatically, usually within 30 days, depending on the merchant.

Contact support in the app with the date, amount and merchant. Note that transactions confirmed with a 3-D Secure code or made through Apple Pay or Google Pay are treated as authorized by you and are much harder to dispute.

Yes, with the physical card at any ATM that accepts the card scheme. The virtual card doesn’t work at ATMs. Fees and limits are on the Fees and limits page.

Your balance is held in US dollars. Top-ups are credited at 1 USDT = 1 USDC = 1 USD. When you pay in another currency, the amount is converted at the Visa rate on the processing date; you see the final amount in the app before you confirm.

Yes. Add the virtual or physical card to Apple Pay or Google Pay. See the Apple Pay and Google Pay page.

Nothing is tied to the device. Open the app on the new phone and log in with your email and password. If you forgot your password, use “Forgot password” on the login screen.

Through the Support button in the app. It’s the only official channel. We never reach out first on messaging apps or by phone.

In the app, in account settings. Withdraw your remaining balance first; any open disputes must be resolved before closure.

We don’t give tax advice. The rules depend on your country of residence. To help, you can export a statement of all your transactions from the app.

Your documents are processed by our verification provider and stored under strict access controls. Card data is tokenized. Details are in the Privacy Policy.

Yes. Clients who have successfully completed KYC/AML checks may be eligible for individual agency transactions involving fiat currencies and virtual assets. The terms of each transaction are agreed individually and set out in the relevant contractual documents. Details are on the Individual exchange transactions page.

Such a transaction may be available following an individual review of the client and completion of the required checks. The availability of a specific currency, the settlement method and the terms of the transaction are confirmed by Magic before it is carried out.
