Goblin Card
The strongest physical no-KYC card pitch: a real Mastercard with ATM access, 0% FX and 0% ATM fees, XMR deposits and privacy-preserving support channels. The trade-offs are a $350 entry price, 3.5-4% deposit fees and an unlicensed custodial balance - treat it as a privacy tool, not a bank account.
RedotPay
A heavily-marketed APAC crypto card whose fees and terms we could not independently verify (bot-blocked pages) - a verify listing: confirm the current fee schedule and issuer on their terms page before loading funds.
