Card overview

Meru combines a US dollar account, a European IBAN, stablecoin deposits, a self-custodial crypto wallet, and a Visa card in one app. Account balances are managed in USD. Users can top up through bank transfers, PIX, local payment channels, USDC, USDT, and other methods, then use the balance for Meru Card. The card is currently issued in the United States. A virtual card can be created immediately, while a physical card requires application and delivery. Users can freeze or unfreeze the card, set limits, and view transactions in the app. Meru also provides self-custodial crypto asset functionality, with access to BTC, ETH, and more than 2,000 tokens, but actual card spending is still settled through the USD card balance.

Meru: Cuenta en dólares Google Play review - 1 star

This is the worst theft virtual app ever! don't use, they didn't specify the extra $5 fee for inner transaction after $2 per deposit they already included. I'm so pissed, I will receive $50 in bits and Meru will take a hooping $15! this is the height of it! don't downloaded

CUIDADO!!! SCAM!!! No la usen, me robaron más de 500dls de una transferencia que "tienen que revisar" sin importar que les envié los comprobantes del banco, no te dan un respuesta clara y el servicio al cliente deja mucho de desear. SCAM!

Cobran comisiones superiores a las que establecen

Cobran comisiones superiores a las establecidas en su propia plataforma, luego atención al cliente es lento en responder, se justifica diciendo que es una política aplicable a un país específico. Tienen desorden y estafan en sus comisiones al no cumplir sus propios acuerdos.

They hold money for days

They hold money for days, I have asked for info on money sent and have heard nothing. They ask for documents that are personal and give no follow up. I promptly provided all necessary docs. No one has responded and I am stuck with an inability to use my money for flights which continue to increase and they continue to hold my money with no response or timeline available.

Aparte de tener comisiones muy altas, la app desactiva la opción de agregar dinero a la cuenta mediante tarjeta de crédito todo el tiempo y todos los días me manda al menos 2 pero hasta 6 push notifications de "promociones" que no me interesan y que no me permite desactivar sin desactivar TODAS las notificaciones de la app.
