Why choose this card
USDC-secured credit with lower card-program ATM charges.
A good fit if
For regular cash withdrawals: Signature lists $0 ATM withdrawal fees, with a $250 daily withdrawal limit.
The tradeoff
USDC backs credit in escrow; $20 annual renewal starts in year two, and issuer-funded free lounge visits are unavailable.
Choose Platinum for occasional online purchases if avoiding Signature’s recurring annual fee matters more.

Refunds & support
A fixed processing time and return currency were not established for this program. Check the transaction and contact official support using the steps below.
- Cancellations, refunds and support
- Request a cancellation or return from the merchant and obtain a confirmation or refund reference. Record whether the card transaction is pending or settled.
- Cancellation and subscriptions
- Cancel subscriptions in the merchant account and check the next billing date. Freezing or closing a card does not cancel the merchant subscription.
- Declined or unfamiliar transactions
- Check the decline reason, balance, limits and activation status. For an unfamiliar payment, use the available card-lock control and notify official support promptly.
- What to prepare for support
- Prepare the merchant, date, amount, currency, transaction ID, status and refund reference. Ask support for the destination, expected posting date and dispute deadline. Do not send a full card number or wallet secret.

- User-owned Loan Escrow smart contract; withdrawals for attested card charges are authorized
USDC sits in a user-owned contract, with withdrawals authorized for attested card charges. Spent USDC is liquidated later for settlement, so this differs from an ordinary prepaid balance.
