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.

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.
