Custody and safety

Tria scores 52/100. Licensing: we could not confirm a licence for the card issuer on its own website. 2026-08-28: An attacker exploited an authorization flaw in an older version of Rain's Solana card contract, which Tria's card programme used, and made $431,945 of unauthorized withdrawals affecting 636 Tria customers. Tria reimbursed affected users in full plus an extra 10%, and Rain says every programme on the vulnerable contract was upgraded. The same exploit hit Avici; about $1.1 million was taken across Rain-powered programmes. Tria's cards work as collateral-backed credit cards at 0% APR. Spending is secured by crypto in the user's own wallet, and a "Liquidation Event" sells collateral if charges go unpaid for one calendar day or the collateral value falls below the balance. International cards are issued by Nimbus, LLC, a Delaware company whose terms link to a privacy notice on legal.raincards.xyz. US cards are issued by "Third National". In Nigeria the card is marketed by BANEX Microfinance Bank, licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria. Tria (Threely Dimensions, Inc.) says it "is not a bank, money services business, card issuer". No proof of reserves applies because Tria holds no customer assets. We found no official enforcement actions. The August 2026 Rain contract exploit is recorded under incidents.

WhiteBIT Nova is not scored yet, because not every safety factor has been checked against a source. Published licensing: Visa debit card issued in partnership with JSC Hash Bank (Georgia). The card is issued through JSC Hash Bank. The whitebit.com user agreement names a group of operating companies, including UAB Clear White Technologies (Lithuania) and WhiteBIT Georgia LLC. No official regulator enforcement release was found, but the search did not cover every regulator's register. The EUR card (Wallester AS, Estonia) was suspended on 30 June 2026 as part of the move to MiCA.
