Bybit Card
The most aggressive rewards among exchange cards: 2-10% USDT cashback tiers, auto-interest on the card balance and 100% rebates on popular subscriptions - but it requires full exchange KYC and is explicitly unavailable in the EEA, and the platform carries the memory of the 2025 mega-hack it survived.
Xapo Bank
The only true bank in the comparison: a Gibraltar credit institution with deposit-insured 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.
