# What is Azul Card?

Azul Card is an anonymous, crypto-funded Visa or Mastercard.

You can easily top up your card using cryptocurrency, and your funds are automatically converted into fiat USD and added to your card balance. The top-up and conversion process takes just a few minutes and a few clicks.

Once your card is funded, you can pay online without limits — anywhere from Airbnb, Uber, and Amazon to Netflix, flight bookings, and much more. You can also easily link your card to Apple Pay or Google Pay and use it for in-store payments at millions of physical locations worldwide.

Your card is entirely private and anonymous. We do not require KYC verification, we don’t collect your personal data, and we don’t ask for your country, phone number, or email — ever. You manage your card entirely through a secure Telegram bot, providing the most accessible and privacy-focused experience possible.

*Note: Azul Card is intended for lawful use only. Users must comply with their local laws and regulations.*


# Why No App? Why only Telegram?

Most modern cards are not truly private — not even those labeled as anonymous or crypto-funded. To use them, you typically need to install a mobile app or at least a Telegram mini app. Unlike those apps, our Telegram bot does not collect any personal data: it has no access to your IP address, device information, phone number, or email. Our privacy policy allows us to operate without asking for your phone number or email address: your Telegram account is all we need.

That means your identity stays completely private, while you can still manage your card instantly, 24/7, from any device. Telegram provides a secure, fast, and anonymous environment for issuing and managing your card, eliminating the typical privacy and security risks associated with traditional apps or websites.&#x20;

Our goal with Azul Card was to design a payment solution that combines maximum privacy with seamless usability, security, and convenience.

We physically have no access to your personal information — and that’s the best guarantee that we’ll never share it with anyone.


# What Absolute Privacy means?

The **Azul Cards team** is made up of active crypto users who travel the world. We’ve tried a lot of *crypto-funded* or *no-KYC* cards, but none of them met our standards for **privacy and security**. That’s why we decided to build something better — a card we’d actually trust and use ourselves.

When creating Azul Cards, we didn't aim to build just another anonymous card. Our mission was to design a product that achieves the highest level of privacy possible, while staying simple, secure, and convenient. People deserve a private and effortless way to manage their money in today's world with its wars, restrictions, excessive compliance, and constant personal data leaks.

**Absolute Privacy** means having the **highest level of privacy theoretically possible** — the practical implementation of the **Zero Trust** and **Zero Knowledge** principles in the world of fiat payments.

In short, any **mobile app or** mini-app collect extensive information about you — including your IP address, device ID, location, email address, phone number etc. We, on the other hand, use a **Telegram bot**, which **cannot collect or store any of this data** by design. This means that (in theory) other providers could share your transaction details with tax or regulatory authorities in your country (just your **email**, **phone number**, and **country of residence** can already serve as a good starting point for identification). In that scenario, your privacy depends entirely on their goodwill.

Azul Card takes a different approach: we’ve built a system that **technically cannot collect any personal information** about you — and therefore, we have **nothing to share**.


# What "No Trust Needed" means?

*“No Trust Needed”* means that to use our card effectively, **you don’t even need to trust us** — you stay in full control of your funds at all times.

In most similar services, you’re required to **deposit money into the company’s internal wallet** and trust them to hold it.&#x20;

**Azul Card works differently.**

You keep your crypto in your **own wallet** — just as you’re used to. You only send crypto when you want to **top up your card**. Once the top-up is processed, your crypto is **instantly converted to fiat** and added to your card balance. **Nothing is stored or held by us**.

The top-up process takes just a few minutes, so there’s **no need to preload serious amounts** in advance. Simply withdraw **exactly as much as you need, when you need it**. Even in the worst-case scenario, potential losses are minimal — and your **absolute privacy remains fully intact**. You don’t need to trust us the way you would a traditional fintech company. \
\
*Don’t trust anyone — just keep your crypto in your wallet, as you always have.*


# What are the fees and limits?

**Fees:**

* Card creation: $20 (one-time payment, refunded after you spend $2000)
* Monthly maintenance: $5
* Crypto top-up: 4% fee
* Per transaction: $0.25

**Limits:**

* Minimum top-up: $20
* Maximum top-up: $20,000
* Per transaction limit: $20,000

# How fast is your crypto top-up?

Your **first top-up** may take up to **10 minutes:** this includes the time required to **create and activate your virtual card**.

All **next top-ups** are much faster, usually completed within **1 to 5 minutes**, including the time it takes for the **transaction to be confirmed on the blockchain**.

This means you don’t need to pre-fund your card or send more than you plan to spend. You have **one card per Telegram account**, and there’s **no need to transfer funds** between your account balance and your card — they are one and the same.

In practice, **top-ups are processed almost instantly**, giving you real-time access to your funds whenever you need them.

# Cardholder's Name and Billing Address

At Azul Cards, **your privacy always comes first**. Every part of our system is designed to give you freedom and control without unnecessary data collection.

You can use **any cardholder name or billing address** you choose. For smoother transactions, we recommend entering details that **match the merchant’s country** when making payments — this helps ensure compatibility with certain payment gateways.

Your **Azul Card is built for global use** and doesn’t require any specific personal information to function. No name verification, no address validation — just simple, private payments that work anywhere in the world. Whether you’re shopping online, subscribing to a service, or booking travel, your identity and data always stay protected.

# How to invite a friend?

To invite friends and earn rewards:

1. **Share your unique referral link** from the "Referral System" section
2. **Your friend must register** using your link
3. **Registration automatically counts** as a successful referral


# How to earn money?

You can earn money through Azul Card’s **referral program**.

Activate your referral link in the bot and share it with friends, social media, or chats. Every time someone signs up and tops up their card using your link, you earn a commission.

Your commission grows with the total top-up volume of your referrals. There are five levels, starting at **15%** and going up to **50%** of deposit fees as your referrals deposit more.

<table><thead><tr><th>Level </th><th width="252">Total Referral Deposit Volume (USD)</th><th>Your Commission</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Level 1</strong></td><td>Up to <strong>$1,000</strong></td><td><strong>15%</strong> of deposit fees</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Level 2</strong></td><td><strong>$1,001</strong> – <strong>$5,000</strong></td><td><strong>25%</strong> of deposit fees</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Level 3</strong></td><td><strong>$5,001</strong> – <strong>$20,000</strong></td><td><strong>35%</strong> of deposit fees</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Level 4</strong></td><td><strong>$20,001</strong> – <strong>$50,000</strong></td><td><strong>45%</strong> of deposit fees</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Level 5</strong></td><td>Over <strong>$50,000</strong></td><td><strong>50%</strong> of deposit fees (maximum reward)</td></tr></tbody></table>

Referral balances update once per day, and you can request a payout to your main account once you have at least **$20**. Payouts are processed within **24 hours**.

The more active your referrals, the higher your earnings — your network directly determines your potential income.


# How to withdraw funds?

Referral rewards are added to your referral balance automatically from your referrals’ top-ups.

\
To transfer this balance to your main account, press the “Request Payout” button in the bot. The minimum amount required to request a payout is $20.

\
Once requested, the payout is processed within 24 hours. Referral balances are updated once per day.
