Ready users report USDC card cutoffs outside EEA after issuer switch gives one-hour warning

Ready users say the wallet’s USDC card service is being shut off outside the EEA after a card provider change, with in-app notices warning cards would deactivate within one hour. The old issuer-side partner was Kulipa, but the new provider is still unclear; Ready’s notice says unused subscription time will be refunded within 10 business days. Funds are still movable onchain, but the card layer breaking this fast is exactly the weak point in “self-custodial” crypto cards that still depend on issuer and payment-rail relationships.
