- ACH bank transfer, wire and USDC on Base top-ups carry no charge, while card funding does

Scored 8.9 / 10 by HodlCue.
Who it suits
- Business owners paying suppliers or staff across currencies
- Users who fund from an ACH bank transfer or USDC on Base
- Anyone who wants a virtual card for one-off online payments
Who should look elsewhere
- Bitpanda, for anyone who needs more than the 2 currencies Tchotcho Pay holds
- Wise, where a plain multi-currency account may suit you better than a crypto-funded card
- Monzo Flex, if you would rather hold a plain bank balance for spending than a custodial one
Trading and withdrawal fees
The monthly fee is $0, so nothing is charged simply to keep the account open. Funding by ACH bank transfer or wire is free, and USDC on Base is free, while a debit or credit card top-up carries a charge. Currency conversion runs at 0.5% to 1%, a meaningful share of a small transaction and negligible on a large one, so holding the currency you plan to spend cuts the cost.
Who runs it
Tchotcho Pay LLC is the legal entity, based in the US. Custody is custodial, so the provider holds the funds rather than the account holder, and the card is a debit card on the visa network. Support runs on email and help centre, so routine questions are answered in a help centre and the rest by email.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to hold a Tchotcho Pay account?+
The monthly fee is $0, so there is no standing charge for keeping the account open. Costs come from how you fund the account and how you spend it, with currency conversion at 0.5% to 1% applied on each conversion.
How much does it cost to add money?+
ACH bank transfer and wire top-ups are free, and USDC on Base is free as well. Funding by card is the costly route, since a debit or credit card top-up carries a charge while the bank and USDC routes carry none.
What fee applies when I change currency?+
Currency conversion is charged at 0.5% to 1% on each conversion. Because the account holds 2 currencies, keeping a balance in the currency you are about to spend removes the charge on that purchase.
Who holds my money?+
Custody is custodial, so the provider holds the balance for you rather than you holding the keys yourself. That is simpler to run than self-custody, and it means the funds sit with the company.
Which card do I get?+
The card is a debit card on the visa network, and a virtual card is also offered. It is built for business use, so expense handling matters as much as everyday spending.
How do I get help if the card goes wrong?+
Support runs on email and help centre, so a help centre answers routine questions and email covers the rest. No phone line or live chat is listed, which matters if the card is lost while travelling.
Is Tchotcho Pay regulated?+
The listed regulator is the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) in the US. The company behind the service is Tchotcho Pay LLC, and the account itself is custodial, with the provider holding the balance.
Can I pay with crypto balances?+
Yes, crypto is one of the listed features alongside multi-currency and virtual card, and custody is custodial. The network is visa, so it is an ordinary card at the till rather than a chain specific card.
