What UnCash is

UnCash sold prepaid virtual cards funded with cryptocurrency and marketed as requiring no identity verification. In February 2026 Mastercard shut down the cards tied to the product. According to trade-press coverage, UnCash posted a statement on 10 February 2026 saying that about 90% of its cards ran on the Mastercard network, that all cards would be closed immediately and that remaining balances would be refunded, with users able to withdraw to external wallets. No later report confirming that refunds were completed was found, and the official site returned a hosting error when checked in October 2026.
