Our verdict
Best for: European users already on the Bitpanda platform
Bitpanda's card lets you spend any asset on its platform, crypto, stocks, metals, with real-time conversion. Zero FX markup and a straightforward ~1.5% realistic cashback rate. The limitation is availability: EEA only, and the card only earns cashback on crypto spending, not stocks or metals. If you're a European Bitpanda user, it's a natural extension of the platform. If you're not already using Bitpanda, there's no compelling reason to sign up just for the card.
