Table: Brighty’s Pricing Plans
As you can see, the free plan is a bit limiting and doesn’t offer the highest earning potential. So, for the full Brighty experience, it would be best to go with the Plus or the Pro plans. However, if you only need a virtual card for using your crypto as fiat, the One plan should suffice.
Regarding other fees and limits, all plans have a fiat account limit of €100,000 and unlimited crypto balances. Receiving money (crypto or fiat) is free and unlimited. Sending fiat has daily (€8,000) and monthly (€30,000) limits with low fees (lowest on Plus and Pro). Crypto transfers are unlimited, with modest transaction fees depending on the cryptocurrency network.
How to Get a Brighty Card?
It’s very easy to get a Brighty card. Just follow these steps:
- Download the App. Brighty is only accessible via a mobile app.
- Enter Your Phone Number. This will act as a base for creating your account. You’ll also have to verify it by filling in a code you’ll get via a message.
- Create a Passcode. Once you confirm your phone number, you’ll have to create a passcode. After that, you’ll also have an option to enable biometric authentication (like Face ID).
- Choose Your Country of Residence. You’ll be asked to indicate your country of residence because the conditions and services you can get depend on it.
- Verify Your Identity. You cannot use Brighty’s services without verifying your identity. To do that, you’ll have to provide an identity verification document, take a selfie, and answer a few questions.
- Order a Card. Once you’re verified, you can order your Brighty card. If you’re using the free plan, though, you’ll only be able to get the virtual card. You should get the virtual card instantly, so you can start using it for purchases immediately after topping it up.
Summing things up, Brighty blends the stability of traditional banking with the freedom and innovation of crypto, creating an approachable, secure platform for anyone looking to navigate digital finance easily and effectively.
