Blink Card

Full review pending. Facts on this page are sourced and dated.

Freedomia

The most polished Lightning-native card pitch on the market: instant virtual Visa, Lightning Address top-ups, explicit no-KYC stance, Google Wallet and Tor support. Counterparty risk is substantial - the operator stays anonymous, the service is in its launch phase, and card balances are custodial.
