Step 3: Install the app

Once you sign up, you'll be taken to a screen with buttons to download the app:

Install and open the Monisto app.


Step 4: Log in to the app

On the screen: “Order” button

  1. Tap “Order crypto card now”
  2. Tap “Log in”, not “Register” — you’ve already created an account
  3. Enter your email and password
  4. Confirm your login via email

Step 5: Choose your card

After entering the confirmation code, tap “Next”
On the screen: list of available cards

  • Choose the type of card:
    Virtual — activates instantly
    Physical — will be delivered to your address

Click on the card you want and tap “Next”.

Fees and Terms

Please review the terms carefully before making a payment.
You’re not just topping up the balance — you’re paying for the card issuance and minimum deposit required for activation.


What’s included in the payment

  • Card issuance fee
  • Minimum deposit, which will be credited after activation
    This amount is shown before payment — the payment is made in a single transaction

Top-up and commission

  • Any amount you send above the minimum will be credited to your card minus the commission

Limits

  • Maximum per transaction — $5000

Please note

Each card has its own usage conditions — issuance cost, minimum deposit, commissions, and limits may vary.

Step 6: Payment and top-up

After selecting your card, you’ll see a screen with the address for the transfer.
At this stage, you’re paying for the card issuance and the minimum deposit required for activation.

The payment is made in one transaction — for the total amount shown in the app.
Anything sent above the minimum threshold will be automatically credited to your card.


Before sending the funds, check:

  • The network (e.g. USDT BEP-20)
  • The amount (no more than $5000)
  • The accuracy of the address

Once the payment is received, your card will be issued and activated.

Important: send only from compatible networks.
The card will be automatically activated once the funds are received.


💡 Data confirmation: how the code arrives

The type of verification depends on the selected card:

1. Hong Kong (Virtual) or any card with email verification

  • The code is sent to your email
  • Usually arrives within 1 minute
  • If you don’t see it — check your Spam or Promotions folders

2. Singapore (Physical) or cards with phone number verification

  • The code is sent to the phone number you entered
  • Important: codes are sent only to international numbers
    (codes are not sent to Russian numbers)
  • Make sure your number is entered correctly in international format
    (e.g. +971 ...)


Шаг 7: Activate Apple Pay / Google Pay

If Apple Pay doesn’t work in your country

If you’re in a country where Apple Pay is not available (e.g. Russia), your Monisto card might not be added to Wallet directly.

In this case:

  1. Don’t worry — your card is still active
    You can use it directly inside the Monisto app for online payments and subscriptions.
  2. To add the card to Apple Wallet:
    • Change your device region to a country where Apple Pay is supported (e.g. UAE, Hong Kong, Cyprus)
    • Restart your device
    • Open the Monisto app → select your card → tap “Add to Apple Wallet”


Add the card manually via Wallet.


Step 1

Open the Wallet app on your iPhone

Step 2

Tap the “+” in the top-right corner

Step 3

Select “Debit or Credit Card”

Step 4

Scroll down → tap “Add a Different Card”

At this stage, it’s important not to select a bank from the list — the card won’t be added.
Only “Add a Different Card” allows you to enter the card details manually.

Step 5

Enter the card details from the Monisto app:
– Cardholder name
– Card number

Step 6

On the Card Verification screen, choose Email as the verification method
(even if a different email is shown — the code will be sent to the one you used during registration)

At this stage, the email with the code may arrive with a slight delay — usually within 2–5 minutes.
If the email doesn’t arrive, check your Spam or Promotions folder.

Step 7

After verification, the card will be added to Wallet.
Set it as your default payment method.

Step 8

If the verification code expired — remove the card and start again from Step 1.
At the verification step, select Email again.

At this stage, the email with the code may arrive with a slight delay — usually within 2–5 minutes.
If the email doesn’t arrive, check your Spam or Promotions folder.

Done!

You can use your card to pay for:

  • Subscriptions (Netflix, Spotify, YouTube Premium)
  • Online services
  • Goods in any store
  • Freelance services
  • Anything supported by Mastercard / Apple Pay / Google Pay
