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.
Xapo Bank
The only true bank in the comparison: a Gibraltar credit institution with deposit-guaranteed USD, savings interest paid daily in BTC and worldwide card spending with no FX fees. The $1,000/year membership makes it a wealth product, not a spending card - it pays off for balances where the 3.35% yield outruns the fee.
