Pros and cons
Pros
- A card delivery time of Under 500 ms on virtual cards is the strongest number here.
- The operator is named as Fyatu Financial Technologies Limited, based in Tanzania, so the entity behind the account is stated.
- Payouts go to card and wallet, so money can land on a card or in a wallet.
Cons
- Support runs on community and email only, with no phone line or live chat in the list.
- A withdrawal adds a flat fee plus the network fee, on top of what funding and unloading a card already costs.
- Payouts reach card and wallet only, so a bank transfer or cash payout is not an option.
Who it suits
- People who want a usable card quickly, given a delivery time of Under 500 ms.
- Users who keep their money in wallets, since payouts go to card and wallet.
- Anyone content to handle support by email and community, the channels on community and email.
Who should look elsewhere
- Paysera, if you want SEPA and SWIFT transfers, since Fyatu pays out to card and wallet only.
- Skrill, if you would rather fund by bank transfer, which costs Skrill nothing, while Fyatu charges card funding a percentage with a minimum.
- PayPal Colombia, if you want to send from a PayPal balance or a linked bank account, since Fyatu charges for funding and unloading a card.
The company behind it
Fyatu is operated by Fyatu Financial Technologies Limited, headquartered in Tanzania, so the entity behind the account and where it sits are both stated plainly. Support is limited to community and email, which sets the expectation for how a question about a card or a payout gets answered: by email, or through other users in the community. There is no phone line or live chat in that list.
How Fyatu compares
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to use Fyatu?+
Funding and unloading a card is charged a percentage fee with a minimum charge, and a withdrawal adds a flat fee on top of the network fee. Money comes back out to card and wallet, so the withdrawal charge applies whichever route you use.
How quickly will I get a Fyatu card?+
Fyatu publishes a delivery time of Under 500 ms for its virtual cards. That is the figure to weigh if you want to start spending as soon as the account is open, rather than waiting on a card that has to be posted to you. Payouts from the card go to card and wallet.
How do I get my money out of Fyatu?+
A withdrawal goes to card and wallet, so a transfer lands on a card or in a wallet rather than in a bank account. The withdrawal carries a flat fee plus the network fee, and the same account also charges for funding and unloading a card. A bank payout is not part of that list.
Can I reach Fyatu support by phone?+
Support runs on community and email, which is email and a community. There is no phone line or live chat in that list, so a question about a card charge or a payout has to be sent by email or posted to other users. Plan around that if you need a person on the line.
Who is behind Fyatu?+
The account is run by Fyatu Financial Technologies Limited, headquartered in Tanzania. Both the legal entity and the headquarters country are stated, which makes the company behind the money easier to trace. The fee and payout arrangements for funding, unloading and withdrawals sit with the same company.
Who is Fyatu suited to?+
Fyatu suits people who want a card quickly and who keep their money in a card or a wallet rather than a current account. Payouts go to card and wallet and the card delivery time of Under 500 ms keeps the setup short. It suits less well anyone who needs a bank payout, cash in hand or phone support.
