      <description>No Blomo card is issued in dollars, so a USD-billed AI plan is converted on every renewal. The full cost of a year, card by card, with the arithmetic shown.</description>

      <title>Your card is the wrong country: what now?</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://blomo.io/blog/card-country-and-store-region/</guid>
      <description>Stores check the country a card was issued in, not where you live. Which of the six Blomo cards matches which store region, and what each match costs.</description>

      <title>Does a no-KYC card really exist?</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://blomo.io/blog/does-a-no-kyc-card-really-exist/</guid>
      <description>Yes for virtual cards, and not because a step is skipped: the licence and the identity duty belong to the issuer. What Blomo asks, and what it does not.</description>

      <description>A merchant took your money and did not deliver. Section 11 of the Blomo terms puts that dispute between you and them. What that costs you, and what to do.</description>

      <title>How do you pay a European host in euros?</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://blomo.io/blog/paying-a-european-host-in-euros/</guid>
      <description>Three Blomo cards are issued in EUR, so a euro invoice is not converted at all. The awkward part is the arithmetic against a 50 USDT minimum top-up.</description>

      <description>Five of the six Blomo cards work in Apple Pay and Google Pay. You add the card by hand in the phone wallet app — Blomo has no add-to-wallet button.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://blomo.io/blog/how-long-a-top-up-takes/</guid>
      <description>Blomo waits a fixed number of confirmations per network — about a minute on TRON, under two on Ethereum, about thirty minutes on Bitcoin.</description>

      <title>How much to send so 500 USDT lands on the card</title>
      <link>https://blomo.io/blog/how-much-to-send-to-land-500/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://blomo.io/blog/how-much-to-send-to-land-500/</guid>
      <description>Blomo&apos;s 1% is charged on the amount you ask to be credited, so 500 USDT on the balance means sending 505 USDT. Formula and per-network extras.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://blomo.io/blog/how-to-get-your-money-back-out/</guid>
      <description>Blomo&apos;s withdrawal fee is 3%, taken out of the amount together with the network fee, and the terms set a one-day standard. There is no button: you ask support.</description>

      <title>TRC-20 or ERC-20: what a 100 USDT top-up costs</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://blomo.io/blog/trc20-or-erc20-what-a-top-up-costs/</guid>
      <description>Blomo charges the same 1% on every network, so only the sending fee differs. Measured on 13 September 2026: about 13 TRX on TRON, about a cent on Ethereum.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://blomo.io/blog/what-an-atm-withdrawal-costs/</guid>
      <description>Blomo charges 1% or 2% depending on the card, the Estonia card has no ATM at all, and the machine and the conversion rate take their own cut.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://blomo.io/blog/what-happens-when-your-card-expires/</guid>
      <description>Blomo cards run 48 months, and 36 on the Estonia card. The date ends the card, not the balance — and Blomo neither reissues nor reminds.</description>

      <description>Section 6 of the Blomo terms is about the origin of specific funds, not about who you are. What can be asked, what happens to the money, how it ends.</description>

      <description>Six products, one question. Currency, cash, phone wallet, entry threshold and refusals decide it — and the currency you spend in decides most of it.</description>

      <description>Topping up, ordering a card and subscribing stay closed until a Telegram account is linked. What the rule buys you, and what it costs in privacy.</description>

      <description>Blomo support lives in one Telegram chat and never asks for a recovery phrase, a 2FA code or a transfer. The checks that settle it in ten seconds.</description>

      <description>A stolen mailbox is not a way into a Blomo account, a stolen Telegram can be, and a stolen recovery phrase is already the money. What to do, in order.</description>

      <description>A merchant can store a Blomo card and charge it monthly, but acceptance is its call. What breaks a renewal is the balance — and ordering a new card holds it.</description>

      <description>Blomo accepts USDT on TRON and Ethereum only. A BEP-20 transfer lands at an address nobody watches, and it is not credited. Here is what to send instead.</description>

      <description>The first digits of a card number tell a merchant the network, the issuing country and the card type. Some merchants decline on that alone.</description>
