  • Known fee stack (9.0 vs 2.8 % equivalents on a $500/mo profile)

2Fiat

A multi-asset virtual Mastercard with Apple/Google Pay support and $10-$10,000 loads - a rare direct-altcoin-load card. Until fees, limits and the operator behind it are verifiable, treat it as an unverified lead: fund only what you can afford to lose.

Phantom Cash Card

The wallet-first card: Phantom's Solana wallet issues a virtual Visa that spends a USD-pegged stablecoin balance (CASH) through Lead Bank, with Bridge converting at authorization - and the conversion consent documented verbatim in the cardholder agreement, which almost no competitor does. It is also narrow: US-only (not New York), virtual-only with no ATM access, full identity verification through Stripe for the card while the wallet itself stays no-KYC, and a 1.75% debit-card funding fee that makes card-funded top-ups expensive. A well-documented niche product: fund it via ACH (0.30%), not by card, and treat the wallet's no-KYC claim as ending at the card's front door.
