My First Interview for Forbes: About CardB and the Fintech We Are Building
My first interview with Forbes has probably been published, and of course, it is dedicated to my brainchild — CardB.
I'll leave the link below — feel free to read if you're interested.
I've heard a lot of big announcements: someone has launched a crypto card, someone is about to launch one… But let's stick to the facts: we were the first to launch a fully licensed crypto card for Kazakhstanis.
The card itself is standard — virtual, easily linked to Apple Pay, Google Pay, and even Garmin Pay. It can be used for offline and online purchases, hotel bookings, flight tickets, and more.
Currently, the card top-up limits are 500,000 KZT per day and $15,000 per month, which is sufficient for most users' daily needs. In the future, we plan to increase the limits.
The key feature of CardB is the ability to top up the card directly from any wallet in USDT via the TRC-20 network, without intermediaries or risks.
Many people now top up their cards via P2P exchanges, but it's always a gamble. You never know who's on the other side:
• You might receive "dirty" money
• The bank might flag it as a suspicious transaction and block your account
• If the funds come from illicit sources, legal trouble might follow
That’s why the market has been waiting for a legal, transparent, and risk-free solution.
CardB is about security and legality, but it’s not a free service.
If you don't use crypto in your daily life, just watch from the sidelines.
Key Features:
• Top-up via crypto (USDT TRC20) and standard bank transfers
• Phone number-based transfers coming soon
• Free transfers within the system
• Transfers to other cards (even in Singapore) are possible but with a high fee
CardB is a fully legal alternative to gray P2P schemes, which will likely be shut down over time.
Future Plans:
• Expanding to global markets
• Partnering with banks in Kazakhstan
• New features and solutions
I've also launched a Telegram channel where I’ll share project updates and my thoughts.
