Our verdict
Lunar fits EU users who want a single Visa debit card for crypto and everyday money, licensed by Finanstilsynet under MiCA and with a monthly fee of DKK 0. Its cost edge stops at the monthly charge: conversion fees of 1% and taker fees of 2.5% put trading above the cheapest rivals.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The personal card carries a monthly fee of DKK 0.
- Danish supervision from Finanstilsynet under the EU MiCA framework, with licence MiCA CASP 984500DD714F66B77454.
- Card type is debit on the visa network, covering multi currency, crypto and travel in one app.
- Crypto withdrawal fees of 0 DKK.
Cons
- Currency conversion costs 1% and only 3 currencies are held, so most spending abroad converts at that rate.
- Taker fees of 2.5% on a cex exchange, the top of the range across 1,589 crypto cards.
- Support runs on help centre and chat only, with no phone line.
Who it suits
- EU residents who want crypto and everyday spending on one card, since multi currency, crypto and travel sit in the same app.
- Business users and parents opening kids' accounts, the business and kids audiences Lunar targets.
- Readers who prefer a regulated Danish setup, with ESMA (EU MiCA regulation) and Finanstilsynet named against the company.
Who should look elsewhere
- Wise, if conversion is the deciding cost, because Lunar charges 1% on currency conversion.
- Monzo Flex, for a plain daily spending account with a monthly fee of £0 and no crypto side.
- Bitpanda, for a card priced in euros with a monthly fee of €0.

Customer support runs on help centre and chat.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Lunar card cost each month?+
The personal card carries a monthly fee of DKK 0. Currency conversion runs at 1% and exchange trades are charged a taker fee of 2.5%. The monthly charge is the cheap part of the account; the bill grows through trading and through converting currencies Lunar does not hold.
Who regulates Lunar and what does the licence cover?+
Lunar Block A/S is supervised in Denmark by Finanstilsynet and appears in the ESMA register under the EU MiCA framework, with the Danish licence listed as MiCA CASP 984500DD714F66B77454. The regulators recorded for the brand are ESMA (EU MiCA regulation) and Finanstilsynet, both tied to the same Danish entity.
What kind of card is it and which network does it use?+
It is a debit card on the visa network, so purchases draw straight on the account balance rather than a prepaid balance. The card is built around multi currency, crypto and travel, so crypto, multi-currency and travel spending all sit in the same app.
How many currencies does the account hold?+
Lunar holds 3 currencies on the account. Spending in anything outside that set is converted at 1%, which is the number to check against your own spending before opening the account. Multi-currency use is a listed feature, but the holding set is small.
What does trading crypto on Lunar cost?+
Trades run on a cex exchange with a taker fee of 2.5%. That is the priciest part of the pricing here and it sits at the top of the range across the 1,589 crypto cards compared, so frequent trading is what drives the cost of this account.
How do you get money out, and what does it cost?+
Crypto withdrawals carry a fee of 0 DKK, and the app also handles debit card spending on the visa network for everyday purchases. The account keeps 3 currencies, so withdrawals of fiat are simplest in those.
Who is the Lunar account built for?+
The app is aimed at business and kids users, so business money and kids' accounts both sit inside the same offer. The card itself is debit on visa, which makes it usable as an ordinary payment card rather than a crypto-only wallet.
How do you reach Lunar if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on help centre and chat, meaning a help centre and live chat. There is no phone number in that list, so any card or exchange problem is handled in writing or through the chat window in the app.
