Wallet card options
This is the option for people who refuse to park funds with a third party. Money flows from a wallet you control, and the issuer does the currency swap at the till.
Compared with the other sections, you give up some ease and gain control. Reviews help you judge on cost, funding coins and networks, eligibility and the make-up of the issuer.
What you keep is the keys, and what you still depend on is an issuer able to freeze the card. A lost seed phrase cannot be reset by anybody. Reviews mark both limits.
