  • Cashback Frozen

    New card applications paused, debit cashback frozen

    hi official help center confirms new IBAN and card applications are paused indefinitely, with all cashback and rewards frozen.

  • USD Savings Card

    Launch of USD-denominated debit card tailored for LatAm cross-border savings

    Dollarize launches a virtual debit card connected to US regulated financial institutions, enabling Latin American residents to convert local currencies to USD and spend directly across global Visa merchants.

  • Compliance Suspension

    Nóva EUR card suspended from 2026-06-30 for the MiCA transition, to migrate once WhiteBIT Europe launches

    The official migration notice states that the Nóva EUR card entered suspension on 2026-06-30 (shown in the account as Frozen or Suspended): the card stays in the account but cannot be used and cannot be restored by the user, and the migration can only complete once WhiteBIT Europe (whitebit.eu) launches. The suspension was still in place when checked on 2026-10-13: this is a pause caused by the MiCA transition rather than a card closure, and when it ends depends on the progress of the WhiteBIT Europe launch, not on any action by the user.
