- you accept Full KYC KYC and its fee stack - and nothing else on this page outweighs it
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.
