devrels.xyz/a/234short link

Avici Money (avici.money) is an internet-native crypto neobank: hold assets, spend via Visa, receive fiat into virtual accounts that convert to USDC. Canonical product docs live at docs.avici.money (full index: llms.txt; pages also as .md).

X: @avici. Agent surface (CLI/MCP) is covered in depth in Avici CLI and MCP for agents. This page maps the product architecture from the docs for builders integrating or comparing neobank patterns.

Wallet architecture

  • EVM: smart contract wallet via Zerodev — no traditional EVM private key; social login email is a signer; passkey required for tx approval
  • Networks (docs): Ethereum, Polygon, OP, Base, Arbitrum, Avalanche, BNB, Monad, Mantle, Scroll (+ others as listed)
  • Solana: receive/send/swap in-app; not AA — private key exportable from Settings
  • Gas: Avici relayer sponsors EVM + Solana in many cases; not Ethereum mainnet (need ETH); Solana ~5 free txs/day then need SOL

Secured Visa card (core mechanic)

Issuer partner: Third National. Native card currency: USD. Model is secured credit, not unsecured unsecured bank credit:

  1. User deposits USDC into a loan escrow contract
  2. Matching USD credit appears on the Visa card
  3. Spend reduces card credit balance
  4. On a delay (docs: ~1–2 days, sometimes up to a week), spent USDC is liquidated from the contract to settle Visa

Custody claim in docs: escrow is user-owned; neither Avici, Third National, nor Visa controls the loan contract as owner. Avici can place a charge via spend attestation and only withdraw amounts linked to those charges; residual USDC withdrawable by the user wallet after spends.

text
Example (docs):
  deposit 100 USDC → $100 card credit
  spend $20     → $80 credit remaining
  settle later  → 20 USDC liquidated from escrow

Cards: virtual + physical; multiple cards for categories; Apple/Google Pay. Merchant reach: Visa international. Always re-check regions/prohibitions and restricted MCC lists before production spend assumptions.

Fees (cards — snapshot from docs)

Source: Fees and Limits. Numbers change — verify before quoting to users.

Indicative card fees
ItemDocs snapshot
Virtual PlatinumFirst $15; later $10 one-time
Virtual Signature$30 first year → $20/yr
Physical Platinum / Signature$50 one-time / $75 + $20/yr from year 2
Transaction / forex markup$0 / 0% Avici markup; Visa may add ~0.4–1% cross-border

Virtual bank accounts

  • USD & EUR virtual checking in user name (partner rails — intro docs cite Iron / Bridge)
  • Receive salary/freelance/remittance-style fiat (ACH, Fedwire, SEPA — see rails page)
  • Incoming fiat auto-converts to USDC into Avici wallet — not a place to park fiat long-term
  • Only USD/EUR accepted for send-to-account flows per docs

Summary

docs.avici.money is the product source of truth for Avici’s neobank stack: Zerodev + Solana wallet, USDC-secured Visa (Third National) with user-owned escrow settlement, USD/EUR virtual accounts that mint spendable USDC, and a deliberately read-only agent CLI/MCP. Use the docs map for integration decisions; use the CLI/MCP article when wiring ChatGPT/Claude/terminal agents.
