Paying for foreign subscriptions, software, and online stores from Ukraine can mean declined cards and extra conversion steps. A Ukraine virtual card gives you a separate prepaid balance built for online payments.
At Yellowdotpay, you can buy a prepaid Visa or Mastercard that holds US dollars. Top it up with crypto and use it wherever the merchant accepts it. You sign up with your email, and no Ukrainian bank account is needed.

You'll also see these cards called a Ukraine virtual debit card, a prepaid card, or a Ukraine VCC.
Virtual cards suit anyone who pays foreign services online, from freelancers to students.

To get your card, follow these steps:
Crypto top-ups let you fund your Ukraine virtual debit card without going through a bank. Your crypto converts to US dollars at the rate shown before you confirm.
To top up with USDT, follow these steps:
Check the network before you send. USDT sent on a different network from the one shown on the deposit page can be lost. Network fees differ too, so check the fee in your wallet first.
Paying a foreign website with a virtual card works like any card payment, with a few extra checks.
Follow these steps at checkout:
For subscriptions and recurring payments, keep these tips in mind:
Our Ukraine virtual card works on many online platforms. Each service sets its own rules for prepaid cards, so a merchant can still decline one.
Popular categories include the following:
Ukrainian online stores such as Rozetka, Prom.ua, and Allo bill in hryvnia. Your Ukrainian bank card is usually the simplest way to pay them. Our USD card works there only if the store accepts foreign cards, and the payment is converted.
Some US and European stores don't ship to Ukraine. Nova Poshta Global's shopping service gives you a virtual address in countries such as the USA, UK, Germany, and Poland. Pay the store with your card where it's accepted, and Nova Poshta delivers the parcel to a branch, a locker, or your door. Its delivery fee is paid separately.
Whether you're heading to Ukraine for work, family, or volunteering, or leaving for a trip abroad, plan your payments before you go.
