Gnosis Pay
Gnosis Pay is arguably the most secure and technologically advanced self-custodial card on the market. Gnosis Pay's parent company is one of the most respected within the crypto space. This adds a lot of trustworthiness to the system. The self-custody method is highly recommended, though KYC is standard.
Bybit Card
Bybit's fee structure is heavy: a 2% regional FX fee plus 0.9% conversion pushes gross markup close to 3%. The 2% cashback brings net cost back to $1.49 (~0.76% above market), but rewards are paid in points rather than instant stablecoins. The 100%-off subscriptions are a heavy incentive.
Who ranks these cards
I'm Tristyn Pawson, founder of ConsistenC.xyz. Over the last five years I've worked on marketing, development and growth across five crypto cards and neobanks, building at least three of them from scratch.
Alongside that I've run in-depth research on 20+ crypto banks to understand what actually makes someone keep a card in their wallet. These rankings reflect that: which problems are tolerable, and which ones are genuine deal breakers.
