Product is rated as #33 in category Crypto Cards

BitPay offer a prepaid card that allows users to convert any of the 8 supported crypto-assets into USD. This platform currently supports BTC, BTCH, BUSD, DOGE, ETH, GUSD, PAX & USDC. Currently only supports 1 Fiat option (USD), which is inconvenient for users outside of the U.S. Their $9.95 sign-up fee is lower than some competitors, with charge back processing or additional monthly fees.

There is a standard ATM charge of $2 per withdrawal & $3 for international ATMs; 50 cents lower than typical rates of competitors. The 3% POS foreign transaction fee is more expensive than some competitors, however. They also charge a $5 dormancy fee after 90 days with no transactions, whilst some competitors choose to not include such fees. Fully audited by Aprio and FDIC insured for up to $250,000 per individual, a direct benefit over many other crypto-card companies who remain unapproved.
