Overview

AP U-Card is a crypto-financial account card jointly launched by the AP platform and global payment giants Visa and MasterCard. It is designed to help users manage and spend their on-chain digital wealth in the most convenient, secure, and low-barrier way possible. By combining digital asset recharge capability with traditional card-based payment functions, AP U-Card serves as an ideal off-ramp and spending gateway for Web3 users.

Authoritative Issuance and Global Acceptance

AP U-Card is jointly issued by the UK-based U3 Foundation and Visa/MasterCard. Leveraging the world’s largest payment and clearing networks, it offers:

• Usability in over 210 countries, covering 170 million+ merchant terminals and more than 3.2 million ATMs

• Compatibility with major international payment platforms, supporting both online and offline transactions

• Full legal issuance and AP-backed fund protection, ensuring users face no risks of freezing or regulatory disruption

This ensures not only global liquidity and payment security, but also demonstrates AP’s deep integration with the regulatory and technical fabric of modern finance.

Crypto Recharge and Automatic Settlement

AP U-Card supports USDT top-ups that are automatically converted into USD balances:

• Each card is linked to a dedicated USDT recharge address

• Upon deposit, the system instantly converts USDT into USD at a 1:1 exchange rate

• Transaction fees are as low as 1%-1.5%, significantly better than the market average of 2.5%-5%

• Settlement is near-instant, offering a seamless experience

This structure empowers users to convert on-chain assets into fiat in real time, offering a truly consumable and practical crypto off-ramp.
