CryptoPrepaid.cards is an independent English-language site about crypto cards. We cover cards that let you spend crypto or stablecoins at ordinary Visa and Mastercard terminals, whether the provider calls them prepaid, debit or something else. Our aim is simple: show what a card really costs, who issues it, who holds your money and where you can actually get it. We publish reviews, comparisons, country guides and plain-language explainers.

Why this site exists

Crypto card marketing tends to lead with the best number on the page. The cashback rate is the top tier. The free ATM allowance belongs to the most expensive plan. The country list includes places where the card launched years ago and quietly closed. We started this site because finding the plain facts took too long, and because many of the pages that ranked for them were out of date.

So we focus on the details that change your bill: conversion spreads, FX fees, ATM charges, inactivity fees and limits. We also look at the less visible parts, such as which regulated company issues the card and whether you keep custody of your coins. You will find this in every card review and every country guide.

How our research works

Every fact on the site starts with a source we can name. We work in a fixed order, and we write down where each figure came from.

  1. 01
    Official sources first

    Provider fee pages, help centers, cardholder terms and press releases. For rules and tax, we go to regulators and tax authorities directly.

  2. 02
    Secondary sources only to fill gaps

    News reports and comparison sites help us spot changes, but we label anything we could not confirm officially.

  3. 03
    A date on every check

    Each page shows when its facts were last checked. Fees and availability change often, so the date matters.

  4. 04
    Unverified means unverified

    If a provider does not publish a figure, we say so. We never fill the gap with a guess.

When a provider contradicts itself, for example by naming two different card networks on the same page, we report the conflict instead of picking one. The detailed scoring rules are on our methodology page.

Status labels

Every card in our catalogue carries a status label. Active means new customers can apply in the listed regions. Limited means the card still works but in far fewer places than before, like the Binance Card, which now operates only in Brazil. Transition means the provider is moving users to a new product or partner. Paused means sign-ups or spending are stopped for now. Closed means the program has ended.

We change a label only when an official source or a clear provider notice supports it. When a status changes, we also record it on our crypto card news page.

Why we keep closed cards

Many sites remove a card the day it stops working. We keep it, clearly marked. People still search for these cards, often because they hold one or because an old article recommended it. A page that explains what happened, what holders should do and which alternatives exist is more useful than a broken link.

Closed cards also show a pattern worth knowing. The BitPay Card ended in 2023 after its bank partner left. The CEX.IO Card stopped working on 3 February 2026 after the card program partner lost its authorization. Cards usually close because a partner leaves, not because the brand on the front gives up. Closed cards get no score, because there is nothing left to rate.

What we believe

The most useful fact about a crypto card is often not its cashback rate. It is the name of the company that issues it, and whether your money is still yours if that company walks away. We try to put that information on every page, even when providers make it hard to find.

Independence and what we are not

No card provider reviews or approves our pages before they are published, and scores are not for sale. Links to providers' official sites are ordinary links, marked so search engines do not treat them as endorsements. When a card has a weakness, we say so, whichever company runs it.

We are an information site, not a financial advisor. Nothing here is financial, investment, legal or tax advice. Crypto prices move, providers change their terms and rules differ by country. Check the provider's current terms before you apply, and speak to a qualified professional about tax. Our terms of use set this out in full.

The site is written by the CryptoPrepaid.cards editorial team. We do not publish individual bylines, and we do not invent experts or personal stories to make a page look more convincing.
