ChocoPay
ChocoPay is a service offering virtual prepaid cards that can be managed via Telegram and a web interface. The cards operate with a balance in U.S. dollars, and top-ups can be made in rubles and cryptocurrency. Different rates apply to the current ChocoPay lineup and archived products. When choosing a card, the most important factors are the current price listed on the order form, the card’s expiration date, and support for the desired service.
As of October 2026, the new portal at portal.chocopay.io features three virtual products: “For Subscriptions and AI” for 6 USD with a 3-month plan term, “For Travel” for 10 USD with a 6-month term, and “Universal” for 15 USD with an 18-month term. The Universal card supports Apple Pay and Google Pay, while the Subscription card is designed for payments using account details. The validity period depends on the plan, and renewals are processed according to the card program’s rules.
Key terms from the knowledge base:
- Monthly service fee: free;
- minimum top-up in rubles—equivalent to at least $15;
- minimum cryptocurrency top-up: $30 or more;
- cryptocurrency top-ups: 3–9% fee depending on terms;
- Over 100 cryptocurrencies supported;
- Card-to-card transfers are not supported;
- When paying in a currency other than USD, the bank’s conversion rate applies.
The product line includes virtual Visa cards. Some ChocoPay cards support Apple Pay and Google Pay. Virtual cards for subscriptions may have a more limited set of features, while travel cards and general-purpose options are geared toward mobile wallets.
Legal information in public documents requires careful verification. The user agreement mentions a Kazakhstani legal entity, while other pages refer to a company based in Dubai. The issuing bank is not publicly disclosed with sufficient clarity. For this reason, ChocoPay cannot be described as a bank, and the card’s country of issuance should not be specified without confirmation of a specific fee schedule.
Another issue is the lack of full transparency regarding fees for ruble top-ups. The top-up amount is calculated in the bot after entering the desired amount. This means that the actual cost of the top-up is only known before confirmation. To compare with other services, you need to check how many rubles are deducted for a specific amount of dollars on the card.
What to check before signing up:
- the current plan price;
- the card’s expiration date;
- the fee and exchange rate for top-ups;
- availability of Apple Pay or Google Pay;
- KYC requirements;
- limits;
- country of issuance and issuer;
- support for the desired service.
ChocoPay may be convenient for users who prefer to top up their accounts with cryptocurrency, as it supports a wide range of assets. However, the 3–9% fee can significantly increase the cost of regular use. When topping up with rubles, you should compare prices based on the actual exchange rate shown in the bot.
Questions and Answers

There is no separate monthly service fee.
Can I top up the card with cryptocurrency?
Yes. Over 100 cryptocurrencies are supported, with a minimum deposit of $30 and a fee of 3–9%.

Support is available on select plans. You’ll need to verify the specific card before issuance.
Editor’s Opinion
ChocoPay offers top-ups in rubles and cryptocurrency, and its new interface organizes products by purpose. However, the service lags behind competitors in terms of transparency: different prices and plan names appear on various official resources, and the commission for ruble top-ups is not published in advance. This requires a more cautious approach. Before issuing a card, it’s worth saving the current plan terms and verifying the final credit amount. For regular large top-ups, the 3–9% cryptocurrency fee can be significant. It’s important to clarify the plan’s validity period, renewal cost, and the terms of the selected BIN before depositing a significant balance. For payments while traveling, you’ll need a card that supports mobile wallets.
