FAQ
Common questions about USDC cards in Ireland
Can I get a USDC card without a bank account?
Yes. GetPlu does not require a bank account. You fund directly from any EVM-compatible self-custodial wallet on Base, Ethereum, Polygon, or Avalanche. No wire transfers, no ACH, no bank needed.
Which USDC networks does GetPlu support?
GetPlu accepts USDC on Base (recommended - lower fees, faster confirmations), Ethereum, Polygon, or Avalanche. Always double-check you've selected one of these four networks when sending USDC to your GetPlu deposit address.
How fast is the USDC card issued?
Your virtual card is issued immediately after KYC verification - typically within 5 minutes of signing up. Physical cards can be ordered separately and ship within 5–10 business days.
Is there a fee to get the card?
The virtual card is free on GetPlu's Free tier - no monthly fee, no card-issuance fee. The only cost when funding is the network fee - typically under $0.10 on Base or Polygon, a little more on Ethereum or Avalanche (not charged by GetPlu).
Where can I spend the card?

Can I use USDT and USDC on the same card?
