Virtual card issuance is free and PEXX states it currently has no spending limits. The issuing company is PEXX Technology Pty Ltd (Australia), AUSTRAC-registered as a DCE and remittance dealer and as a FinCEN MSB.

- Effective 1.8% cost on foreign purchases (0.6% platform fee + 1.2% FX markup)
- Custodial: the platform holds your funds and can freeze or lose them.
- Full KYC required: verified identity, zero pseudonymity.
- Subject to regulation (PEXX Technology Pty Ltd is registered with AUSTRAC as a Digital Currency Exchange (DCE100851583-001) and as an independent remittance dealer (IND100851583-001), and with the US FinCEN as a Money Services Business (MSB 31000288010318).): reporting to authorities and freezes on order.
Verdict
Custodial model: funds are held with licensed partners, not by the user. PEXX Technology Pty Ltd is AUSTRAC-registered as a DCE and remittance dealer and as a FinCEN MSB. Partial protection: verifiable regulation but no bank-grade fund segregation.
Low sovereignty: custody delegated to partners, mandatory full KYC and dependence on Visa/Mastercard rails. The user does not control the keys and funds are exposed to counterparty risk.
