Wert supplies fiat-to-crypto purchasing through a checkout embedded in partner sites and apps. Its ordinary onramp delivers crypto to the specified wallet; its NFT and smart-contract checkout can instead use the purchase to complete a partner transaction. The company describes itself as a checkout layer rather than a conventional exchange or wallet. The spot-dealing scope here is the actual crypto purchase and delivery service.[6][27]
The service is most usefully understood as a set of payment, verification and delivery stages. A successful card payment, a completed blockchain transfer and receipt of an item from a partner project are not interchangeable outcomes. This profile, checked on 21 October 2026, keeps those responsibilities separate and covers the customer-facing purchasing flow rather than assuming a full trading account.[12][13]
Fiat onramp, partner purchases and supported networks
Sections ↑The main Wert checkout configurations
| Configuration | Documented role | Customer consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary fiat onramp | Purchase supported crypto for delivery to the wallet address entered in checkout. | The customer needs access to that destination wallet after settlement.Source 6Source 11 |
| NFT or smart-contract checkout | A payment can fund a purchase or action on a partner platform. | The partner can be responsible for the item or project entitlement after the payment stage.Source 27Source 12 |
| Partner-created wallet | Some partner platforms create a wallet during the purchase flow. | Wert says it does not create or store that wallet; access is through the partner’s wallet service.Source 11 |
| Fiat cash-out | The homepage labels its off-ramp proposition as coming soon. | This review does not treat a general sell-to-bank service as a live feature.Source 1 |
| Project integration | A partner can configure the asset, amount and destination in the checkout. | The interface can be restricted to a particular project’s requirements.Source 22 |
The production asset list includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, stablecoins and network-specific tokens. USDC is listed on several chains, while Ethereum purchases also have multiple network options. The same ticker is therefore insufficient to specify delivery. The production and sandbox tables are separate, and test tokens in the integration environment should not be counted as customer assets.[21]
Wert publishes a production demonstration page with an explicit notice that the card will be charged. It is not a practice trading balance. A business evaluating the integration has separate sandbox tooling; a customer using the production checkout is authorising a real purchase if they complete it. This profile did not submit a payment or test a live order.[26][21]
Processing fees, network costs and short-lived prices
Sections ↑Published fee structure and quote conditions
| Component | Published reference | Scope and qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Customer processing fee | The help article publishes 4% of the purchase. | The partner FAQ says the exact processing percentage depends on the commercial agreement.Source 7Source 20 |
| Minimum processing fee | Partner documentation states $1/€1 or the agreed percentage, whichever is greater. | A small advertised purchase minimum does not imply negligible costs.Source 20 |
| Network fee | Charged for the blockchain transaction and shown in the receipt. | The amount depends on the relevant network and transaction.Source 7 |
| Exchange-rate spread | The customer guide describes a spread and a 30-second rate lock. | This is a checkout-price mechanism, not a resting market order.Source 7 |
| Partner service fee or sponsorship | Partners can add a service fee, or sponsor processing/network fees. | A zero-fee customer display can reflect commercial sponsorship rather than the absence of underlying costs.Source 20 |
The 4% customer article and the negotiated partner terms should be read together. A partner’s particular rate, service charge or sponsorship can change the amount charged on that integration. For a hypothetical $100 purchase, a 4% processing component would be $4 before considering the separately identified network fee and spread. That illustration explains the percentage; it is not a quote for a particular asset or checkout.[7][20]
The final confirmation displays the crypto amount, exchange rate and fee breakdown for approval. The short rate-lock window is relevant during checkout, especially if authentication or verification interrupts the flow. It should not be confused with how long the user remains logged in. The documentation uses different clocks for a quote, an integration token and an authenticated widget session.[7][20][22][5]
Supported payment routes and purchasing limits
Sections ↑Payments and purchase-size reference
| Item | Published terms | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Crypto purchase methods | Visa/Mastercard debit or credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA and Cash App. | The exact choices vary by merchant and customer route.Source 6 |
| Additional card networks | American Express, Discover and JCB are listed for NFT purchases only. | Their NFT support must not be described as ordinary crypto-onramp support.Source 6 |
| Checkout fiat | USD and EUR in the onramp documentation. | Card-billing currency and any issuer conversion remain separate from the selected checkout currency.Source 22 |
| Minimum crypto order | $1 generally, with $30 for Bitcoin in the integration guide. | The fee minimum and network cost can materially affect a small purchase.Source 22Source 20 |
| Basic verification | Customer help lists €1,000 for crypto over the lifetime of a profile. | Partner documentation gives a $1,000 crypto lifetime reference; use the actual profile’s displayed currency and allowance.Source 8Source 20 |
| Document verification | Customer help lists €10,000 weekly for crypto; the weekly period resets Monday. | The partner FAQ expresses the crypto allowance as $10,000 weekly. These are not universal FX-equivalent promises.Source 8Source 20 |
The customer’s Profile → Details and Limits screen is the documented place to see current KYC status and available allowance. The public help pages use euros while partner documentation uses dollars. A profile that shows a specific currency and remaining allowance is more useful than assuming that both written numbers describe the same amount at every exchange rate. NFT allowances also differ from crypto allowances and should not be imported into the onramp limit.[8]
A failed order can still appear as a reserved amount in the banking app. Wert’s card-hold guide explains that a bank can retain a temporary authorisation for hours or days, with the bank responsible for confirming its release timing. If the bank says no hold remains or cannot resolve the discrepancy, Wert support can investigate the payment reference. An authorisation release is different from a completed refund of a captured payment.[14]
Delivery and exception handling
| Order outcome | Published response | Who needs to resolve it |
|---|---|---|
| Crypto success, balance not visible | Check the receipt’s blockchain transaction link, correct address and wallet token support. | A confirmed transfer may require the wallet to display the token correctly.Source 12 |
| Blockchain pending | The payment has passed but chain confirmation remains outstanding. | If it continues for several hours, contact Wert with the order ID.Source 12 |
| Crypto order cancelled | Contact support with the order number and whether a refund or resend is preferred. | Resending is conditional on it being possible.Source 13 |
| NFT transaction fails | The guide says Wert drops the card authorisation when the smart contract is not executed. | A bank can still show a temporary hold after the authorisation is dropped.Source 13Source 14 |
| Confirmed failover | When a paid blockchain action fails or reverts, the guide describes sending the purchased crypto to the wallet. | Receiving crypto after failover is not evidence that the intended NFT or partner action completed.Source 13 |
The item purchased matters when allocating a delivery complaint. For an ordinary onramp transaction, the blockchain transfer can establish delivery of crypto to the address. For a token sale or external-platform purchase, Wert’s guide directs the customer to the partner when payment has completed but the project’s item or entitlement has not arrived. The receipt and transaction hash help identify which stage has actually failed.[12]
Wallet ownership and saved-card controls
Sections ↑Wert says it neither creates customer wallets nor stores their private keys or recovery phrases. Its role in ordinary delivery is to use the public address supplied for the purchase. The receipt identifies that destination. If a partner creates the wallet, that partner’s access and recovery arrangement must be understood separately from the Wert login used for purchasing.[11][18]
This distinction remains relevant after a failed partner transaction. Crypto received through failover may sit in a wallet even though the intended project action did not execute. The customer needs the means to control that wallet to use the crypto later. Recovering access to the purchase profile cannot recreate an unrelated wallet’s private key.[13][18]
Profile and payment-control details
| Control | Published handling | Practical consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Saved cards | Up to three before document KYC and up to five after document KYC. | Cards can be saved after a payment attempt.Source 15 |
| Changing a saved card | The guide says card details cannot be edited in place and ordinary in-app removal is not available. | Removal or replacement uses support and ownership verification.Source 15 |
| Sensitive wallet data | Wert says support never needs a seed phrase or private key. | Public receiving-address information is different from wallet-control credentials.Source 18 |
| Profile closure | A closure and data-deletion option is provided under Support on mobile and desktop. | Closing the purchase profile does not transfer assets from an external wallet.Source 19Source 11 |
For card-removal requests, the guide requires document verification and proof of ownership, with special alternatives where the card is digital or no longer physically held. The published procedure asks that sensitive card digits be concealed except the last four. This is a manual support process, not an advertised instant switch that can be assumed to work identically on every device.[15]
Regional restrictions and verification conflicts
Sections ↑Availability and verification boundaries
| Scope | Evidence | Result of the review |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | The homepage and product pages say UK residents are eligible for NFT purchases only. | The September country table instead marks the onramp available; this unresolved inconsistency is material.Source 1Source 9 |
| United States | The state page separates NFT availability from crypto-purchase restrictions. | It lists New York, Washington and several other states or territories as unavailable for crypto. The page is dated 2023, so it is not treated as a freshly confirmed full state matrix.Source 10 |
| Other countries | The September 2026 table distinguishes onramp and NFT access country by country. | A supported NFT destination can remain unsupported for ordinary crypto purchases.Source 9 |
| Basic versus document KYC | Basic verification uses personal details; larger allowances require document and liveness checks. | Non-document KYC is still verification, not an anonymous account.Source 8 |
| Pending verification | Applications can move to manual review; the guide warns against opening a duplicate profile. | An additional profile can create a security block rather than speed approval.Source 17 |
Wert’s broad country-count claims vary between product pages and pricing pages. They describe reach rather than an independently verified permission map. The specific service column, state restriction and partner route carry more useful information for an individual purchase. For UK crypto buying, the conflicting pages do not justify a confident statement that access has been restored.[2][3][9][1]
The partner page describes passwordless login with an OTP each time the customer signs in. An OTP problem can arise from mobile reception, carrier filtering or the phone’s spam controls. Wert publishes troubleshooting for those possibilities and directs unresolved cases to its official support. A delayed code is therefore not itself evidence of a failed wallet transfer: authentication and blockchain delivery are different stages and should be investigated using their own references.[16][12][5]
Support, receipts and partner responsibility
Sections ↑Official Wert contact routes
Scope Published Estonian office number; no telephone dealing authority established.
The customer help article identifies [email protected] and the wert.io domain as its official contact environment, and says the company does not approach customers through Telegram, WhatsApp or social-media direct messages. A partner-specific help desk may still be necessary for a token sale or item-delivery complaint. The appropriate contact depends on the failed stage rather than merely the logo visible when payment began.[6][12]
Past orders and downloadable receipts are available in the profile, according to the limits guide. The emailed receipt provides the destination address and a blockchain link for delivery checks. Retaining those records before closing a profile helps connect a card payment with the resulting wallet transfer. No universal jurisdiction-specific tax calculation or standard post-closure export service was established by the material reviewed.[8][11][12][19]
Operator disclosures and the limits of the MSB evidence
Sections ↑Legal and regulatory evidence reviewed
| Evidence | What it shows | What remains unestablished |
|---|---|---|
| Joint website operators | The About page names SHA2 Solutions OÜ and SHA2 Solutions Inc.; the Estonian company code is 14952299. | The widget agreement was unreadable in this review, so the precise regional contractual allocation is not asserted.Source 4 |
| FinCEN transcript | A company-hosted transcript dated 3 July 2025 names Sha2 Solutions, Inc., DBA Wert, registration 31000303811874. | It is a historical company-hosted registration record, not an independently refreshed register finding.Source 24 |
| Meaning of registration | The transcript itself says FinCEN does not approve or endorse registered businesses or verify submitted information. | Its all-states activity declaration is not a grant of every state money-transmission licence.Source 24 |
| EU and insurance scope | The reviewed operator and product material does not establish a current MiCA permission or a quantified customer policy. | No EU-wide licence, deposit insurance or per-customer crypto-loss cover is claimed here.Source 4Source 2Source 24 |
The distinction between a published company statement and a verified permission matters here. Wert’s onramp page uses licensing language and links the MSB document, but the document has a narrower meaning and an older date. Public service availability also does not resolve whether a particular customer contracts with the US or Estonian company. That allocation is a material contractual detail still requiring the current checkout agreement.[2][24][4]
Business background and published service reach
Sections ↑Wert describes a 2020 founding and publishes offices in Tallinn and Oakland. Its public team page names George Basiladze as founder and Daria Bogatyreva as co-founder. These details explain the brand’s background; they do not establish transaction volumes or the number of currently active buyers. The research did not find a directly comparable audited turnover figure for ranking this checkout service alongside large order-book exchanges.[4]

Session persistence and embedded-checkout authority
Sections ↑The partner FAQ states that an authenticated widget session lasts 60 minutes by default and can be extended to 24 hours for an individual partner integration. Separately, the current session-creation API returns a one-use token valid for 30 seconds. Neither interval is the 30-second exchange-rate lock described in the customer fee guide. Treating these three clocks as one timeout would misdescribe both price validity and login persistence.[20][22][7]
The current API guide lets partners create a user-selected flow or lock the asset, amount, network and destination for a specified use. It warns that the integration key has substantial privileges and should remain on the partner backend. This is a business integration credential, not evidence that a retail user has authorised an autonomous bot to spend wallet funds.[22]
An older multiple-address integration guide says supplied wallet addresses can be pre-filled and edited. The current session guide also supports a restricted mode with locked values. The difference is configuration: a partner’s onramp can expose different user choices depending on the mode it implements. The visible destination and transaction summary therefore remain important even when an address arrives automatically from the partner’s app.[23][22]
