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.
Nuri
The old Nuri bank is dead (2022 insolvency, customers moved to Vivid) - but the brand relaunched at nuri.com as an Estonian self-custody wallet with a free Visa card, IBAN and 130-country reach. Verify listing: card issuance, fees and the provider stack behind the banking rails are unverified; no community track record exists yet.
