What WaldenPay is
WaldenPay offers a virtual prepaid card that is topped up with crypto and used where Visa or Mastercard is accepted, plus transfers between users and crypto payment links. The site names the operator as BlueHouse Software B.V. of Rotterdam and says card and account services may be provided by licensed third-party partners; the issuer is not named. Sign-up is by email. The terms describe no identity procedure but allow suspension for suspected fraudulent or suspicious activity and say a terms violation can lead to forfeiture of funds, with remaining balances returned at the operator's discretion.
