Sends
Sends is a B2B expense / corporate issued on Visa, rated 5.7/10 in our latest review. Below: what it costs and what it demands, the tiers the issuer publishes, and how the card cleared our live checkouts.
Sends is the strongest fit for app store / play and free issuance, and asks for ID + proof at signup — we carry it at low-medium risk. Treat the fee rows as the deciding factor: a card that clears reliably but charges on every top-up costs more than its rating suggests.

Frequently asked
What does Sends cost to run?
The cost lines stack like this: issuing the card is free; the recurring charge is 0; conversion is priced at FX fee on non-USD purchases. Cash-out costs are what compound here, so weigh the recurring lines above the one-off fee.
Do I need to verify my identity for Sends?
Sends asks for ID + proof at signup. The check runs once when the account opens, not on each charge, and the issuer's own wording is: Yes
How can I fund Sends?
You can fund it with bank transfer. Pick the one you can top up cheaply and repeatedly, because the load fee is charged every time.
Which billing address does Sends need?
Setting it up: the billing address type is Prepaid (prefunded from Send balance); cards are issued against UK; an AVS check is not applied. Copy the address the issuer generates rather than retyping it. A transposed digit is the most common reason a working range starts failing.
Does Sends work for subscriptions and AI tools?
We recorded successful charges for the App Store and Google Play. Where a card passes on one merchant and fails on another, the difference is usually the processor and the 3-D Secure setting rather than the card itself.
Will Sends trigger 3-D Secure?
Yes. Sends supports 3-D Secure, so expect a step-up prompt on larger or first-time charges. An OTP you can complete is fine; a challenge that never arrives is what kills the order, so keep the issuer app open at checkout.
How many cards can I open with Sends?
The issuer allows 1 (one active card at a time). Multiple numbers under one account is the practical pattern here: one per merchant, so a single block does not take the rest of your billing down with it.
How VCCFinder tests
VCCFinder buys cards at retail and charges them on live checkouts, then publishes the clear rate and decline reasons next to each range. Where a card declined, the reason sits on its BIN page rather than in a footnote here.
