Wirex One
Wirex is highly competitive. A 1.18% all-in spread puts it right next to Coca and Bitget as one of the cheapest cards for spending Rands in South Africa. The downsides are volatile WXT-denominated cashback and strict proof-of-address onboarding.
Infini
Infini is a highly specialized corporate expense platform rather than a standard consumer crypto card. If you are a business looking to fund SaaS and ad campaigns directly with stablecoins, the API controls and flat 1.5% uncapped stablecoin cashback are excellent. However, for everyday retail consumers, the $10 virtual card issuance fee and massive 3% non-USD FX fee on the base tier make it impractical for daily spending. Only use if you're a business
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.
