Pick PST.NET if
- you match none of Nuri's edge cases - the closer score makes it the default
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.
PST.NET
A niche virtual-card service for online/media-buying use cases with crypto funding - usable for its purpose, but tier subscriptions, per-card fees and the niche positioning make it a poor general spending card.
