Bitpanda Card
Europe's cleanest all-asset debit card: spend any of 600+ cryptos or even precious metals from one EUR card with zero monthly fees, 0% own FX markup, generous EUR 280k/month limits and an MFSA-regulated issuer. The 1% cashback only pays on crypto payments, ATM withdrawals cost 2%, and it is euro-area only.
Cash App Card
The most mainstream way to hold BTC next to a Visa debit - but the card itself never touches bitcoin: every spend requires selling first, which is a taxable event per transaction. Use it for the Boosts and the frictionless BTC auto-investing, not for crypto-native spending.
