How does Standard work?

Overview

Standard is the starting tier on Plasma One. Standard pricing depends on your region: the current price for your account, including whether Standard is free for you, is shown in the app before you subscribe, and the price displayed in the app is the price that applies to you.


Activating your card on Standard


In most regions, you'll need to deposit $10 into your Plasma One account before you can activate your Standard card. This is not a fee — the $10 stays in your balance and you can spend it as soon as your card is activated.


In some regions, a $10 card fee applies instead. Whether the $10 is a funding requirement you can spend later or an upfront fee depends on your region, and this is clearly shown in the app before you activate your card.


Cashback

Earn cashback on eligible card purchases, paid in XPL.

Your cashback rates and perks are tied to your tier, not your card. All cards on your account benefit from your current tier regardless of which card you use to spend.

On your monthly spend

Cashback rate

First $500

On the rest ($500+)

0.1%

Cashback is calculated at the point your transaction settles or is captured, not when it is authorised.

Note: existing Lite members keep 2% on the first $500 of monthly spend and 0.1% above.

Cashback is currently paid out weekly (currently on Thursdays). Rewards may remain pending for several days after a transaction posts and vest only at the end of the pending period. Payout timing may change.

If a Standard fee applies in your region and your account was created before it took effect, Standard stays free for you for as long as your account remains in good standing. Moving back to Standard when a trial, promotion, or paid tier ends is not a new membership and does not trigger a fee.
