Gnosis Pay's consumer card, which this IBAN funds, stops working on 20 December 2026, and new signups go to partner apps. The personal IBAN is issued by Monerium EMI ehf (Iceland), not by Gnosis Pay or Monavate, and is attached to the user's own wallet; incoming EUR converts 1:1 to EURe on Gnosis Chain. It is receive-only inside Gnosis Pay: outbound bank transfers require Monerium directly or a partner wallet. IBAN access is gated more tightly than the card (EU and EEA cardholders plus a nationality whitelist).

Cost & Returns

On $500/mo spend, the estimated monthly cost breakdown for Gnosis Pay is: gas $0.00, conversion spread $0.00, flat transaction fees $0.00, and amortised card/tier fee $0.00, for a total drag of 0% of spend. After $0.00/mo cashback that nets a gain of about $0.00/mo ($0.00/yr). Gnosis Pay tops up from a centralized balance, so there is no on-chain gas cost regardless of how often you reload. Figures are conservative estimates and vary with conditions.

Note: CONSUMER CARD SHUTTING DOWN (2026-09-25): Gnosis Pay announced on 2026-09-22, dated 2026-09-21 by some coverage, that its consumer debit card and web app are discontinued from 2026-12-20 at 23:59 UTC, after which cards stop processing transactions and ATM withdrawals and app.gnosispay.com drops to withdrawal-only. Funds in the user's Gnosis Pay Safe are self-custodial and unaffected, with no withdrawal deadline. Cashback eligibility ended 2026-09-30 with a final distribution on 2026-10-07; the four GNO tiers (1%, 2%, 3%, 4% at 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 GNO) were replaced on 2026-10-01 by a single 0% row so rankings stop crediting a programme that has closed. Gnosis Pay's own properties corroborate the pivot: gnosispay.com now presents card-programme infrastructure for wallets and fintechs with no consumer pricing, gnosispay.com/card routes new signups to partner apps rather than to Gnosis Pay, and help.gnosispay.com carries a "Preparing for the new Gnosis Pay" section. Status is left active because the card still works until 2026-12-20; it should be moved to discontinued after that date. Gnosis Pay's help centre (checked 2026-10-03) points EUR cardholders to Rebind and USD cardholders to MiniPay, or Picnic in Brazil, with no destination yet for GBP cards, and states that cards issued through the Zeal app also stop by 2026-12-20. The rebind and minipay-card entries in this file are separate cards and are not affected by the shutdown itself. TIER NAMES (2026-09-01): the tier labels Base, Shrimp, Dolphin and Whale previously recorded here could not be found on any Gnosis Pay property. Gnosis Pay's own help centre identifies the tiers only by GNO threshold, so the tiers are now labelled by their thresholds. The rates and thresholds themselves were never in doubt and are unchanged. CORRECTION (2026-08-14): the Intermediary Cashback Programme was NOT discontinued on June 30, 2026 as previously recorded here. It ran from November 9, 2025 until September 30, 2026, funded by Gnosis Ltd. Tiers while it ran: ≥0.1 GNO 1%, ≥1 GNO 2%, ≥10 GNO 3%, ≥100 GNO 4%, +1% OG NFT bonus (max 5%), with GNO held rather than staked or locked, weekly GNO payouts, and weekly spend caps tied to GNO holdings that reset at 00:00 UTC on Sundays. No successor programme is published for the Gnosis Pay consumer card. Safe wallet integration. No transaction fees when spending: stablecoins are spent 1:1 (a EUR 10 purchase uses 10 EURe), and Gnosis Pay adds no fee for currency conversions. Gnosis Pay sponsors the gas fees for card transactions, so spending costs no user gas despite settling on-chain. The Bank of Lithuania fined issuer UAB Monavate EUR 270,000 with a warning on 2025-11-25 for AML, management, and reporting breaches. CARD FEE CORRECTED (2026-10-04): the EUR 30 one-time card fee previously recorded is not on Gnosis Pay's fee page, which lists the initial card with free shipping at no cost and a lost or stolen replacement at 4.99 EURe, GBPe or USDCe.
