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.
PST.NET
A niche virtual-card service for online/media-buying use cases with crypto funding - usable for its purpose, but tier subscriptions, per-card fees and the niche positioning make it a poor general spending card.
