Whenever possible, link to the source. KYC requirements you've personally experienced may lack links, though links to screenshots ([https://imgur.com/a/vGFwSCj like this]) or forum/reddit/etc posts would be helpful.

This page lists cryptocurrency-fueled debit cards.

Created: April 2020. Last update: Nov 2024.

Sources include this spreadsheet, this simplistic table, this Bitcointalk discussion and others. Please contribute any edits here, as those other sources are not actively maintained, are less trustworthy, and/or more superficial.

Whenever possible, link to the source. KYC requirements you've personally experienced may lack links, though links to screenshots (like this) or forum/Reddit/etc posts would be helpful.

Legend / notes:

  • DL = Driver License
  • Est. = Established, (Mon) YYYY
  • POA = Proof of Address. Some are strict, e.g. utility bills, others less strict, e.g. bank statements or government correspondence
  • SoF = Source of Funds, requested by some companies before or during using the card
  • tx = transaction
  • HQ links may point to the contact page, to save space
  • Card cost may include issuance and shipping/delivery cost; add links for details
  • Maintenance fees are independent of withdrawals or purchases; they are required to keep the card active
  • "Fee structure" should link to a page detailing the maintenance (though usually 0), deposit, transfer, exchange, transaction, and/or issuance fees, though due to the volatility of crypto, they're rather meaningless. The issuance fee/cost can also be explicitly stated in the "Card cost" column.
  • Limits indicate withdrawal, maximum balance, or other limits. Always link to the source.
  • non-custodial = you hold your funds, not the card company
  • Given the fluctuations of crypto, rewards are generally insignificant, so there's no column for them. Link to the rewards page in the "Notes" if you want.
  • All KYC requires at least an identification document (Passport, Driver's License, Identity Card), so only other KYC measures will be mentioned in the KYC column. They can be more or less invasive (e.g. live video verification w/ ID, vs. just a selfie).
