Wallet cards in the catalogue
Entries filed under this heading share one trait: the card is linked to a wallet whose keys stay with you. Coins are not touched until a payment goes through, and only then does the card provider swap them for money the shop accepts.
Browse the entries by cost, by the coins and networks that can fund the card, by who may order it and by the kind of issuer standing behind it.
Self-custody shifts the risk and does not remove it. A lost seed phrase is gone for good, and the issuer keeps the power to block the card, so each entry notes how far that power reaches.
