How exchange cards work

The exchange card draws on coins held on a trading platform. At payment, the platform sells what is needed, pays the merchant in local currency and often credits a reward in its own token.

Reviews cover the tier structure, charges, ceilings and rewards, plus the territories of issue, which vary from one exchange to the next more than brand recognition implies.

Spending flows through the exchange account, so if the exchange freezes or investigates the account, the card halts too. The reviews report what users say about this.
