Fold Bitcoin Debit Card
The reference bitcoin-back debit card in the US: sats on every swipe, FDIC pass-through on the dollar balance via Sutton Bank, BitGo custody and a Nasdaq-listed parent. Rewards are variable-rate spins rather than a fixed percentage - treat the sats as a bonus, not a yield.
Wirex
The veteran (2014) reinvented as a stablecoin bank: fee-free FX worldwide, multi-currency accounts with 1:1 stablecoin conversion, real Visa/Mastercard principal memberships and an 8% headline cashback. Fee details hide in the help hub, and the El Salvador licensing move makes the regulatory story newer than its brand.
