Crypto.com Visa Card Icy White / Frosted Rose Gold

A plan byCrypto.com Visa Card · Visa

4.5/5 1.2/5 · Data verified on

Crypto.com's Visa card comes in 5 tiers (from Midnight Blue to Obsidian): zero FX markup, free ATM withdrawals up to a cap and CRO cashback that climbs to 5% on the higher tiers. The high cashback, however, requires locking CRO in staking — tying up capital and exposing you to the token's price risk.
