The verdict
UPay suits a narrow audience well. The eSIM feature is genuinely useful, the asset-management side is well built, and a 1.5% FX fee on USD and cross-currency conversion is below average. The product is clearly designed for Chinese investors first, and the interface shows its age.
Score: 6.5 out of 10

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.
