Binance Card
Discontinued in the EEA since Dec 2023, but alive again in Latin America: relaunched Aug 2026 in Venezuela as an Immersve-issued Mastercard (waitlist beta, up to 3% cashback, crypto balance spent directly). Patchy acceptance during the beta (Apple Pay enrollment and some merchants fail); no EEA return announced.
Nuri
The old Nuri bank is dead (2022 insolvency, customers moved to Vivid) - but the brand relaunched at nuri.com as an Estonian self-custody wallet with a free Visa card, IBAN and 130-country reach. Verify listing: card issuance, fees and the provider stack behind the banking rails are unverified; no community track record exists yet.
