Hi everyone, I have been looking into crypto cards for the last few days and I have narrowed my decision down to either Coinbase or the Plutus Card.

Coinbase Card appears to be super convenient. I like the fact it draws funds straight out of your crypto wallet without any effort from me, however, it also appears to be super expensive, 2.5% for every transaction is extortionate when you think about it.

Plutus won’t be quite as user-friendly, but it also has a few unique perks. They are non-custodial so I know my crypto is safe, whatever you spend you get 3% back in crypto which is the best loyalty programme I’ve seen so far, and they have a free version of the service.

Ideally I'm looking for something that covers everything so I can close my Lloyds account. Are there any other crypto cards that offer something different? Please throw any suggestions at me and why they're good.

Cheers, I had a look at those but TenX and Monaco are only available in Asia. Wirex looks alright but they don't seem to offer anything different, they do have more currency options which is quite handy but I still prefer Plutus and Coinbase.

I do not think that crypto cards now have a high enough level of security to use them. so I will wait for the technology to be fixed even more reliably

I have never tried to use a crypto card, other than for security reasons, I also cannot have it now.
from the OP post above I am not too knowledgeable about crypto cards in the UK

This is a big reason I'm considering these two options.

Coinbase is fairly well respected for being secure and their crypto-assets are insured so I'd feel relatively comfortable using them.

Plutus is by far the most secure option out of them all as you attach your personal wallets rather than trusting them with your crypto, they're never in possession of your assets so company hacks are impossible. They also use a decentralised exchange to facilitate spending so no worries there.

I don't think I'd feel comfortable using Wirex or Bitwala tho, not sure how secure they are.
