Binance Card
Discontinued - the flagship exchange card of its era, killed by regional regulatory pressure (EEA first). Kept as archive: load nothing here; existing regional variants require checking on Binance's own product pages.
Card programs die - issuers collapse (Wirecard 2020), regulators strike, exchanges retreat from whole regions. We keep ended programs visible on purpose: as history, without visit links. This is the list most affiliate sites quietly delete. "Watch" is not an accusation: those cards are still listed, but with active concerns you should read before loading funds.
Program ended or was withdrawn from key markets. Existing cards may still work; new orders do not. Balance holders should check the provider's wind-down terms.
Discontinued - the flagship exchange card of its era, killed by regional regulatory pressure (EEA first). Kept as archive: load nothing here; existing regional variants require checking on Binance's own product pages.
Discontinued for new applicants - the longest-running US crypto prepaid card, now ended. Kept as archive: BitPay continues as a payments company, but the card program is closed to new users.
Discontinued - a wallet-native card that did not survive its launch cycle. Archive entry: the hardware-wallet company continues; the card program does not accept orders.
Discontinued - the US national bank that pioneered in-app crypto trading, then dropped it in the 2023 retrenchment. Archive entry for the banks segment: even a real US bank charter did not make crypto banking stick.
Card discontinued - one of the oldest BTC card products, ended by the 2023 EEA issuer squeeze. Archive entry only.
No longer operating - balances are likely gone. Frozen or parked pages can still answer with HTTP 200: "reachable" in the daily check never means "working".
Dead - the crypto-cashback neobank frozen in the Synapse collapse of 2024. Archive entry: this is what happens when your card's bank rails run through a middleman that fails - the cautionary tale for every BaaS-stacked card in this comparison.
Dead - the flagship German crypto-bank account died in the 2022 insolvency wave. Archive entry: the banking partner (Solaris rails) survived; the crypto bank on top did not. The lesson for this comparison: partner-bank rails do not make a crypto program stable.
Dead - the canonical issuer-risk story: a card program dies with its BIN sponsor (Wirecard, June 2020). This archive entry is why issuer structure matters in every review on this site.
Confirmed pattern of unpaid users or load theft. Do not order or load funds.
No scam-flagged programs right now.
Still listed with status chips, but our fact checks logged active concerns (issuer opacity, unresolved complaints, program instability). Not a scam accusation - read the review before you load funds.
Current card availability unverified - program may be closed to new applicants
Card program paused/restarted repeatedly across years - current availability unverified
Repeated issuer changes across years (card availability windows open and close)
Discontinued: no longer accepting new users (region-specific or global). Dead: no longer operating (a frozen page can still answer with HTTP 200 - reachability is not operation). Scam: a confirmed pattern of unpaid users or load theft. Watch: unresolved concerns that did not (yet) meet the bar for a scam flag. Status is per our methodology; providers can dispute with evidence via contact.
The cautionary tale: how entire card fleets froze with the Wirecard collapse - and what that teaches about issuer risk today.
