How to get your Solid Visa Card

Getting your Solid Card is free: verify your identity in about 2 minutes, your virtual Visa card activates, then add money to your card to start spending.

Updated October 1, 2026

The Solid Card is available to residents of supported countries. Solid Savings is available worldwide, so even if the card is not yet available where you live, you can still create an account, get a non-custodial Safe wallet, and deposit to earn yield. See Where is Solid available? for the full breakdown.

Getting your card is free and takes most people under 3 minutes. Your card lives right on the Wallet home screen from day one.


Step 1: Verify your identity

Verification is required before Solid can issue your Visa Card.

  1. Open the Solid app. On the Wallet home screen, tap Get verified (or tap your card and then Verify now).
  2. Submit a valid identity document (passport, driver's license, or national ID).
  3. Complete a quick live selfie to confirm it's you.

Verification takes about 2 minutes, and most approvals come through within a few minutes. See How to complete identity verification (KYC) for details.


Step 2: Your card is activated

Once verification is approved, your free virtual Visa card is activated automatically. There is no order step and no deposit required to activate it.

From the card screen you can view your card details, freeze the card, and add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay.


Step 3: Add money to your card to start spending

To make your first purchase, put money on the card itself. The card spends only its Spendable balance, shown at the top of the card screen: money in your Solid Wallet or Savings is not used until you move it onto the card.

  • Tap Add Funds on the Wallet home screen, or Add funds on your card screen, and choose the card as the destination.
  • Send at least $10 per card deposit. Smaller deposits go to your Wallet instead and show as Sent to Safe.
  • Spend online and in-store anywhere Visa is accepted, or pay with your phone via Apple Pay and Google Pay.
  • Earn 3% cashback in USDC on every purchase (up to 5% at higher Rewards tiers).

Solid is available on the App Store and Google Play, and as a web app at app.solid.xyz.
