KAST

The most complete stablecoin-spending account on the market: US/EU virtual bank accounts from anywhere, Visa Platinum cards with real 1.5% USD cashback on the free tier, instant cashback and no spending caps. Full KYC and a young operator are the trade-offs; the paid tiers only make sense for heavy spenders.

Moon

Watch - do not load funds. The Lightning-funded virtual card worked until late November 2025, then cards were blocked en masse and withdrawals stalled (documented cases). Support has gone silent while the site still markets the product.
