Pick Goblin Card if
- Lighter KYC (No KYC vs Full KYC)
Pick Vivid Money if
- Known fee stack (3.5 vs 1.0 % equivalents on a $500/mo profile)
- Higher documented cashback (4% vs 0)
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.
Vivid Money
Vivid's consumer crypto card is alive and regulated: free-first physical Visa, 300+ coins from EUR 1 under a Dutch AFM MiCAR CASP licence (custody via Copper), 2% default crypto trading fee and plan-capped cashback. The B2B pivot is real but the personal product demonstrably operates - with a documented 2026 freeze/support complaint pattern typical of partner-rail neobanks.
