Nexo Card

The most complete dual-mode card: one tap switches between spending your crypto (Debit, with daily interest) and borrowing against it (Credit, from 1.9%) - with free ATM allowances up to EUR 2,000/month and no card fees. The catch: meaningful cashback needs a $5,000+ portfolio and is denominated in NEXO, and it is EEA/UK-only.

Nuri

The old Nuri bank is dead (2022 insolvency, customers moved to Vivid) - but the brand relaunched at nuri.com as an Estonian self-custody wallet with a free Visa card, IBAN and 130-country reach. Verify listing: card issuance, fees and the provider stack behind the banking rails are unverified; no community track record exists yet.
