Send
Send just released their card today, and here are my first impressions: A decent card with little to no perks and needs some work. Rating: 6/10 This is a card I was excited for, and so when I saw their announcement, I love Wirex in general, and so I signed up quickly. I probably won't be making the switch over. - The UI is great, and that was what we all expected - The app works intuitively; the process of grabbing my card was easy. - Good investment options, + RWA stocks, + CUSD deposit option - Self-Custody (sort of, you top up the card separately) - Bank transfer availability. - Too much KYC (Mobile number, ID, Proof of address, ugg, Facial scan), then had to do the KYC again for Bank Transfer? - Lack of docs detailing the card - Glitches in topping up to my card - No cashback - 2.2% FX fee. My wife wanted chocolate at 10 pm, so I took a trip to the gas station and bought this Cadbury chocolate for R29.90. According to the VISA rate, this should charge me exactly $1.87. My card charge was $1.92, with a 2.2% fee added. The app claims a $0.00 fee, which isn't true. Nowhere do I see documents showcasing the card's details and its fees. A flashy UI that is almost the same as every other Neobank. The card funding is separated from the account balance. You need to deposit into the main Non-custodial account, but the actual card-sending side needs its own top-up system. Unlike other cards, the sending system is delayed. I also had to run a whole new KYC to get my Bank Transfer details, and it seemed to glitch. The whitepaper on the card is lacking, but overall this was a decently smooth experience.
Coca Card
Coca takes the top spot because it pairs a genuinely non-custodial wallet with stablecoin cashback that cancels out its FX spread. A single-tier upgrade unlocks up to 8% cashback, 50% off subscriptions and 5% APY, which is the best value on offer anywhere in this ranking. It's also a useful crypto wallet entirely on its own. The crypto wallet includes WalletConnect, meaning you can integrate it into your own apps.
