Our verdict on Pulsar Money

6.8/10

Pulsar Money suits crypto holders who want to spend and convert stablecoins as USD or EUR, and who value a zero-fee funding route and a virtual card for subscriptions. Its main strength is the simple 1:1 funding and single-app design. The main caveat is that it is not a bank or custodian, balances may be stablecoins rather than fiat, and the Earn yield, limits, audits and card provider details are not fully published. Start small and read the terms.

What is Pulsar Money?

Pulsar Money is a payments app that lets users keep stablecoins, dollars and euros in one place. It offers USD and EUR accounts funded 1:1 with USDT, USDC or EURC, a virtual card for subscriptions and global spending, swaps, and a savings feature. The operator is Pulsar Money SRL.

The project has been tracked on MultiversX since August 2023 as a payments project. Its older business side offers payment infrastructure and gamification through a dashboard and Portals tools, and the homepage says this white-label infrastructure has reached large user numbers. The consumer fintech app and stablecoin-funded card are described as the next step, and one search snippet describes a launch on Arc with a Europe focus.

On-chain value tracked for the project is small, at roughly 1.4 thousand dollars in TVL, which reflects that the product is mostly an app rather than a pooled DeFi protocol. The operator also states that it is not a bank or custodian, which shapes what users can expect.

How Pulsar Money works

Pulsar Money is a software layer over stablecoins. You deposit supported stablecoins such as USDT, USDC or EURC, and the app shows them as a USD or EUR balance at a 1:1 rate. Because balances may represent stablecoins rather than bank money, the values depend on those tokens holding their peg.

From that balance you can swap between supported assets, receive transfers using account details, or spend with a virtual card. The homepage says the card works for subscriptions and international purchases where a local card may be declined. Regulated card and payment services are provided by authorised third parties under their own terms.

The Earn feature routes stablecoins into curated DeFi strategies, advertised at about 5.2% APY. Like any DeFi yield, this depends on the underlying protocols and market conditions and is not a fixed rate.

Pros and cons

What we like

  • Zero Pulsar fees on stablecoin funding at 1:1, with no monthly or card issuance fee according to the homepage.
  • One account for USDT and USDC (as USD) and EURC (as EUR), with in-app conversion between them.
  • Virtual USD card aimed at subscriptions and international purchases.
  • Earn feature offers about 5.2% APY through curated DeFi strategies.
  • Clear disclosure that Pulsar is not a bank, payment institution or custodian.
  • Standard security features listed: 2FA and biometric authentication.

Watch out for

  • Pulsar says it is not a bank, payment institution, e-money institution, card issuer or custodian, so balances are not bank deposits.
  • Displayed USD and EUR amounts may be stablecoins or other digital assets, which carry price, depeg and provider risk.
  • The ~5.2% APY Earn rate comes from curated DeFi strategies, so it can change and the principal can lose value.
  • No audits are listed, and the team, custody setup and card issuer are not named in its homepage.
  • Limits, conversion spreads, network fees and card terms are only referenced as 'terms and limits apply', not set out on the homepage.
  • Early-access messaging and app-store listings appear together, so feature availability by country is unclear.

Pulsar Money fees

The homepage advertises no monthly fee, no card issuance fee and zero Pulsar fees on stablecoin funding at 1:1 for USDT, USDC and EURC. It notes that terms and limits apply.

A full fee schedule is not shown on the homepage. Network fees, conversion spreads between USD and EUR, card transaction charges and withdrawal costs are not stated, so users should read the in-app terms and Feature Schedules before depositing.

Is Pulsar Money safe?

Pulsar Money does not list any audits in the tracked data. Its legal text says it is not a bank, payment institution, e-money institution, card issuer, crypto-asset service provider or custodian, and that amounts shown may be stablecoins or other digital assets, not fiat held by Pulsar or a bank deposit. That means deposit-insurance protections of a bank should not be assumed.

Risks include stablecoin depegs, third-party provider failures, DeFi strategy losses in Earn, and changes to terms or limits. Users should read the Terms, Earn Terms and Disclaimers, start with small amounts, and enable 2FA. Regulatory treatment varies by country, so check that the services are permitted where you live.
