The Uphold Card is a virtual debit card offered by Uphold, a US-based fintech company, on the Visa network. It is designed for users in the US, but its current status is uncertain due to repeated pauses and restarts of the card program. You should verify the program's current state before applying.
The fees associated with the Uphold Card have not been verified, including issuance, monthly, top-up, FX, and ATM fees. Inactivity fees are also unknown. The lack of verified fee information means you should exercise caution and check the provider's page for the most current details.
The Uphold Card requires full KYC, but the trigger and required documents are not specified. The ordering process and issuance/shipping time are also unknown due to the unverified status of the program.
The card supports conversion of BTC, ETH, XRP, and platform assets, but does not natively support any cryptocurrencies. Lightning network support is not available. The minimum top-up amount and settlement notes are not verified, reflecting the overall uncertainty around the card's current operational status.
The cashback rate, payout token, caps, and tiers for the Uphold Card have not been verified. Any rewards program would be subject to the terms and conditions outlined by Uphold, which you should review carefully if the program is active.
Uphold is an established multi-asset trading platform founded in 2014, but its card program has a history of being paused and restarted. This instability raises concerns about the program's reliability.

The UK's small answer to the crypto-neobank: a GBP account with a Visa debit and BTC/crypto in the app. UK-only and behind a JS-gated site - verify current card terms in-app before relying on it.
The most complete dual-mode card: one tap switches between spending your crypto (Debit, with daily interest) and borrowing against it (Credit, from 1.9%) - with free ATM allowances up to EUR 2,000/month and no card fees. The catch: meaningful cashback needs a $5,000+ portfolio and is denominated in NEXO, and it is EEA/UK-only.
The most mainstream way to hold BTC next to a Visa debit - but the card itself never touches bitcoin: every spend requires selling first, which is a taxable event per transaction. Use it for the Boosts and the frictionless BTC auto-investing, not for crypto-native spending.
