Frequently asked questions
- What is Unlimit?
- Unlimit is the regulated entity that actually issues the card — it provides the banking licence, BIN range and settlement plumbing while the crypto brand supplies the app and funding mechanism. If your card "just works", it's Unlimit doing the regulated part.
- If I did KYC on one Unlimit card, is it faster on another?
- Often yes — the compliance record lives with the issuer, so onboarding a second card on the same rail is frequently lighter-touch than starting fresh on a different one. Approval is never guaranteed, but the prior relationship helps.
- What happens if Unlimit loses its licence or goes down?
- Every card on the rail is affected at once — that's the hidden concentration risk of shared infrastructure. If a rail stops operating, partner programmes usually migrate cardholders to a replacement issuer, but there can be an interruption.
- Are cards on the same rail identical?
- No. The rail supplies the licence and the plumbing; the front-end brand decides fees, limits, rewards and KYC depth. Two cards on Unlimit can have very different terms — compare the cards, not just the issuer.
