Preparing scenario controls

Use one actual issuer period or a stated teaching period; this is not a Shanghai calendar month or an inactivity clock.

Add an ordered transaction

Transactions consume the supplied remaining ATM allowance in the listed order.

No transactions listed: calculation explicitly uses none. Add a transaction before calculating if an amount has been entered.

Named events in this issuer period

OCCURRED means the issuer inactivity conditions are already satisfied for one billed month. This tool does not simulate twelve months, decide eligibility or refund balances.

Risk disclosure

  • Custodial account access, card approval and transactions can be restricted under applicable terms.
  • Crypto conversion is distinct from payment authorization and may be a taxable disposal depending on the user and law. No individual tax conclusion is made.
  • Issuer FDIC membership alone does not establish insurance for crypto or USDC. No deposit-insurance conclusion for a specific balance is made.
  • US debit product only; this is not Coinbase One credit or an EEA/UK program.
  • Hawaii residence is excluded by eligibility documentation.
  • The agreement lists zero issuer card transaction/international/ATM fees; those are not proof of zero spread, network conversion cost or third-party ATM fees.
  • Current app reward percentage, cap, available assets, spread and personalized limits remain unknown.
