Pick Moon if

  • Lighter KYC (Basic KYC vs Full KYC)
  • Lightning funding that actually loads the card

Pick Revolut if

  • Physical card option
  • Wider documented availability

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.

Revolut

The mainstream choice if you want crypto spend inside a full banking app - regulated, mature, multi-plan - but it is a bank card with a crypto side-feature: auto-conversion spreads, plan-based crypto fees and taxable disposals at every payment are the trade-offs.

FAQ

Which is better for privacy, Moon or Revolut?
Moon requires Basic KYC, while Revolut requires Full KYC. Lower KYC means less data exposure - and weaker regulatory protection if something goes wrong.
When does my bitcoin get sold on each card?
Moon: Not documented. Revolut: BTC sold per transaction. Sale timing determines your price exposure between loading and spending.
Which is cheaper overall?
Compare the full stack - top-up, FX, monthly, ATM - against your own spending mix in the fee calculator. Headline numbers alone flip with real usage.
