Features of Trastra
Let’s take a look at what you can do with Trastra:
Payment Card
You can link your Trastra Visa debit card to a multi-crypto wallet, and pay for goods in EUR. There’s no need to visit a bank; the card is delivered directly to your home. Use the card to withdraw money at ATMs, manage your funds while out and about, and spend currency anywhere. Use the Trastra banking app to receive push notifications, load your card instantly, and disable the card if you ever lose it.
The Trastra crypto card is also compatible with contactless payments – you can use your smart watch or your smartphone to complete cryptocurrency payments. Alternatively, you can complete one-touch payments with the card by using its integrated PayPass technology.
Each transaction made with the Trastra crypto card is reviewed and approved via the Verified by Visa check. When making online transactions, it must pass VISA 3D security protocol. And, lastly, all Trastra cryptocurrency cards use chip technology for an additional layer of security.

After a review of the card’s limits, we found that you can spend up to 8,000 EUR per day. This was recently increased per request from customers. You can also have a maximum balance of 8,000 EUR. Card users may withdraw up to 300 EUR on an ATM per day.

Use your crypto wallet’s transactional options to control the speed and the costs of your exchanges. You can pick a smaller mining fee and no commission, but it will come at a slower speed. If you want a medium speed, choose a moderate transaction fee. Even the highest transaction speed is available at a reasonable price.

Getting Started
Are you ready to start using Trastra? We’ve done a thorough review of the sign-up procedure so that we can guide you through the process. To create an account, navigate to the Trastra website and click the “Sign Up” button, located on the page’s upper-righthand corner. You’ll need to input your full name, your email address, choose a password, verify the CAPTCHA check, and then click Sign Up once more. After this, Trastra will send you a verification email.
Click on the verification email and follow the link it contains within 1 hour. At this point, you will be able to enter your Trastra account. If you want to activate crypto wallets, you will need to go through an identity verification process, which is as follows:
- Verify your phone number. You’ll enter your number, and an activation code will be sent to you via SMS.
- Input your full address. Make sure to include your apartment number, if applicable, and your postcode. In some cases, you will need to provide a document proving your place of residence.
- Verify your personal information by uploading a photo of your ID, passport, driver’s license, or residence permit.
- Lastly, upload a selfie for the facial verification check.
After completing all of these steps, Trastra’s system will automatically begin to verify what you have provided. This should only take a short time – 15 minutes, in most cases.

Trastra does sound wonderful. I’d like to know though – do you recommend using it, or a more established e-wallet (such as Neteller or Skrill)?
Dear Marybeth1983, thank you for your question! Both Trastra and Skrill/Neteller are reputable e-wallets that are popular among people from plenty of countries. However, if you aren’t EEA country resident you won’t be able to use all Trastra account features. I can’t say the same about Skrill and Neteller. So If you aren’t EEA country resident I would recommend you to use Skrill or Neteller. If you are an EEA country resident you can choose one of these three options. In this case, let’s go ahead with your activity type: if you deal with cryptocurrency on a daily basis, Trastra will be a great solution for you.
Helllo can i overdraft from card??
Dear Constantinos,
No, it’s not possible to get an overdraft on a Trastra card.
hi, I see i can’t get trastra card delivered in Saudi Arabia, it is disappointing but not too bad. Can i still sign up for an account? and what kind of account things could I do when I live in Saudi arabia? Is there a service that you recommend for me to use instead of trastra?
Dear Khakim, thank you for your question! Unfortunately, full service of Trastra is available only for EEA countries residents. You can’t use the majority of features that Trastra offers. If you deal with cryptocurrency you can try Skrill or Neteller. You can buy/sell crypto within these e-wallets and make deposits to merchants (like brokers, Forex etc.) via these e-wallets.
oh, i see… it disappoints, but not ur fault. i do work with BTC sometimes, so ill look at neteller and skrill. i hope i can make an account there with no bank account, like how trastra lets you do! that was main reason y i wanted to use trastra. i see you have reviews on that 2 ewallets, i will read them. thanks for help
We are always glad to help you! Talking about the issue concerning a bank account: bank account is the only withdrawal option available in Neteller, however, Skrill offers VISA and bank account as the withdrawal options in your country, so Skrill can be a suitable solution for you.
I don’t have a bank account, which, as you can imagine, makes it quite difficult to sign up for most online financial services. I have a question about your services though – is the card rebate the only benefit that Baxity offers? Or are more benefits coming soon?
Jacque, sorry for such a long answer! It looks like we didn’t notice your comment.
At the moment, compensation for the card cost is the main preferential offer. But it is possible that with the growing popularity of the service, additional bonuses may appear. We will definitely let you know about it.
And I’m not sure I understood words correctly. Can I order card in saudi arabia and pay online in riyal?
Imr$, thank you for your question! Unfortunately, at the moment the Trastra service works only within the countries of the European Economic Area. Therefore, it is not yet possible to get a card in Saudi Arabia.
