Why Was My Fyatu Card Deleted?

Updated this week

Opened your Fyatu account and your card is gone? Don’t panic — here are the possible reasons and what you can do.

🏦 Card Deleted by the Bank

Sometimes the bank removes a card automatically due to:

🔸 Too many failed payments (insufficient balance)

For Mastercard Diamond, you’re allowed up to 4 failed payment attempts. If you don’t top up before the 5th failure, the card is deleted automatically.

🔸 Suspicious or unauthorized transactions

If your card is used on banned or risky websites, or for fraudulent activity, the bank can delete it instantly without notice.

🔸 Unpaid monthly maintenance fees

Each card must have $1/month available for maintenance. If the bank can’t collect the fee 3 times in a row, the card is permanently deleted.

⚠️ Card Suspended by Fyatu

Fyatu may also hide or suspend a card in these cases:

🔸 Bank partnership ended

If the card-issuing bank can’t support your card anymore, Fyatu may suspend all related cards to migrate to a new provider.


✅ In that case, we’ll refund your card balance to your Fyatu wallet and give you 80% off your next card creation.

🔸 Fraudulent activity

If we detect fraud or risky behavior tied to your card, Fyatu may suspend it permanently.
🚫 No refund is given in this case.
