Thanks for the reply, bakasabo.
I'm following the other topic from bitcoinst, so I'm going to ask there what I still don't understand. I can see that some members had different experiences.

Have you tried setting that 'minimum balance' option? According to the FAQ documentation, Binance should automatically convert the required amount of crypto each day to top-up the minimum balance on the card wallet.


This option allows to set minimum balance in USD and top-up as soon as your balance is below that minimum. But it does not convert crypto to fiat. Even in Binance dashboard the balance of your card is shown in USD, but when you enter your card you see different cryptocurrencies there.

I dont use Binance card as my primary card, just keep some balance there. Maybe in future, when I plan to get some fiat from crypto deal, I will try one more time this automatic conversion opportunity. But so far I plan just to trade and hold.

Sigh, as much as I'd love to own one to use, such entities aren't viable in my country yet. Lots of red tapes and whatnot.

Forum has a big list of practically  all available Visa and Master  cards

Great topic very informative, I was planning to get the crypto.com Visa card since it was just a great card and a lot of privileges.

I was just a little skeptical of the CRO staking and the platform because of a lot of changes in the platform like what happened in the MCO token but overall I think crypto.com is a great crypto visa card that we could use.

It's a metallic card as well as a nice looking card, hopefully, could be useful in the future if crypto is already widely used as a payment option for buying things.

Thanks for the thread, I was about to open one to ask questions around the subject Smiley
After playing with trading I have some "temporary" profit that I was intending to spend so, instead withdrawing to my bank account, or paying 5-15% fee for paypal transfer via different sellers, by using crypto card I can buy anything a VISA card would buy that sounds awesome! No clue yet about the fees for Binance card for transactions (didn't get into details yet though)

Binance seems more convenient to me since I already have the funds there and don't need a manual top-up when I want to spend from the card wallet.


Careful with that "don't need a manual top-up when I want to spend from the card wallet". Some users have their cryptocurrency converted to fiat automatically when they use card, but I have different experience (just go through the topic and read my posts, they might be useful).

I would really prefer the use of Crypto.com's VISA card like the OP does. It's KYC is pretty straightforward and simple so does its system. Good thing about it is that it supports Paypal and Credit transfers plus its perks is really awesome. I've recently got mine and still have no issues using it. Good thing that using it to withdraw is much cheaper than using my local cryptowallet for dozens of withdrawals and physical transactions.

I'm planning to try Binance card as well since I am fond of using their platform.

I've got my card 3 weeks ago and it has VISA logo on it, while article you've posted is dated April 2020. Even on https://www.binance.com/en/cards/dashboard I have a picture of my card with VISA logo. I assume that information in that article might be misleading. Or it differs for which country card is issued.

Binance seems more convenient to me since I already have the funds there and don't need a manual top-up when I want to spend from the card wallet.

Great topic with useful information. I haven't used any crypto debit card for few years already probably, so it's probably time to get one. I wasn't aware that there is quite many cards available in the market. Last time when I searched for crypto debit card, there was very few available.
It would be nice to hear comments from someone who already use one of these cards. I'm interested what card would be best for EU based person? I haven't looked deeper, but from what I saw, I would pick between Crypto.com and Binance card. Is it there is some things that I should know before ordering it?
I just know one thing - even if Bitpay card would be available in EU, I would never order it. IMO, it's one of worst crypto services.

I am interested in the same thing. As it looks at the moment, I think I will opt for the Binance card. Although I really like the Crypto.com metal card looks. Binance seems more convenient to me since I already have the funds there and don't need a manual top-up when I want to spend from the card wallet.

Blockfi  Crypto Card with rewards is another option for U.S residents only, I havent looked
into them yet but when to come to the E.U I would also consider them.
They charge a $200 anual fee. Wouldn't recommend them.

Fold card is probably the best one in the entire market. No idea why people don't talk more about it. You get 3% cashback, 5% on Amazon, can get prizes (up to 1 BTC), you earn interest on your balance and they even support lightning. https://foldapp.com/card

Gemini is also going to release a card with 3% cashback and probably also free.


Ah good luck to that, as I said I havent looked into them because
they dont currently offer the cards in the E.U

Fold Card does sound appealing, I have applied on the waitlist, dont think its available in the E.U.

Personally, I did not find where to read the comments about Binance Card!
But I found  something intresting....

The text below the logo-free mock-up has since been scrubbed of that Visa mention.

Just checked my binance card and it has Visa logo on it but much less visible than o photo 1 (not that bright).


BTW how is it possible to offer 8% cashback? Where those money comes from? How they achived that while my regular credic card from bank costs me a few dollars a month.
8% is a very high level of cashback, one of the highest
the percentage is actually between 1% and 8%, depending on how many BNB tokens you have. The levels required for different cashback percentages are shown in the table below:

Damn. Didn't know there are some many options. Thanks OP

I have binance card. They have up to 8% cashback (you forget to mention about it). I'm not sure why they have so low user score(3.43)? Is it possible to read comments?

[BIG LIST] Crypto Debit Cards. The topic is for crypto debit cards but some of them are also Visa cards and the information in that topic can support yours.

In my opinion, connect your cards to service to buy or sell cryptocurrency is not actually good as many data leaks happen with visa, master, debit cards. It can be leaked from attacks on those services or from their internal data sellings. I would like to do my exchange orders with cryptocurrency only and if I don't have to cash out to fiat currency, I don't use any details for bank accounts or cards.

Prevention is better than cure and in crypto, when you lose your crypto, you lose it forever. It is irreversible.

Excellent writeup OP, I was aware of the Coinbase and Wirex cards and have been
getting the Crypto.com Card advert on my twitter feed. I have not paid any attention
to them until the thread.

I will definitely be getting a card but will probably be a few months away yet but its nice
to have a bit of education and comparison.

Looking for gigs
You might wanna add Crypterium in the list of crypto cards mate. This one of yours is very useful to those who are looking to apply or purchase crypto Visa or Mastercard. I am currently looking to acquire one actually, so that we could withdraw them anywhere in the world without the need of transferring them to our bank accounts.
