Best Metal Crypto Cards in 2026

Metal crypto cards are almost always the top tier of a tiered product, not a separate product. The card feels premium, but what you are really buying is a higher reward rate, higher limits, or a membership bundle. We ranked the eight metal formats in our 132-card database by what the provider data actually promises: reward rates, published fees, and availability.

Affiliate disclosure: Some buttons may use referral links. A referral relationship does not change the inclusion criteria or guarantee approval, fees, rewards, availability, or suitability. This is an editorial curation, not financial advice.

Methodology

How we picked these cards

1The card's formats field must include a metal variant, such as Metal, Premium metal, Executive metal, or Visa Signature Metal.

2Cards are ranked by provider-stated rewards and the clarity of the published fee and tier terms.

3Availability wording comes from the provider's reviewed page; where it is jurisdiction-dependent, that stays visible.

Our own curation

This ranking is produced by CryptosBeginner from our own database of 132 card profiles. The cards are ordered by editorial judgment against the methodology above. Reward headlines are quoted from provider wording, never converted into a score, and nothing here is invented.

Xapo Bank Card

Xapo Bank

The Xapo Bank Card is issued by a licensed private bank and pairs its metal card with no FX fees on international spending, the closest thing in our data to a premium bank card. The $1,000 annual membership is the real filter: this is built for heavy spenders, not curious beginners.

Rewards: Up to 1% cashback in Bitcoin on purchases; targeted campaigns run periodically.

Fees: $1,000 USD annual membership fee; no FX fees on international spending; ATM terms on the official card terms page.

Availability: Available in 100+ countries per Xapo; the country list is dynamic, so check the official page.

Uphold Debit Card

Uphold

Uphold's metal format sits on the Elite tier, which advertises up to 4% back in XRP and removes the FX and ATM fees charged on the free Essential tier. That tiered structure makes the metal card feel like an upgrade path rather than just a heavier piece of plastic.

Rewards: Elite: 4% XRP back on crypto/metals-funded spending, 3% on fiat/stablecoin-funded spending, up to $300 per month. Essential: 2% XRP back, up to $120 per month. Rates valid 3 months after activation for newer activations.

Fees: Elite: $99.99 per year, no FX or ATM fees. Essential: free, $2.95 ATM fee, 1.5% FX fee.

Availability: Available in the US excluding Louisiana, New York, and US territories; no credit check required.

MetaMask Card

MetaMask

MetaMask's Metal tier advertises 3% back in mUSD on the first $10,000 of annual spend, triple the 1% on the virtual card. For self-custody fans, it is the most interesting metal option because the rewards stack on top of balances you already control.

Rewards: The reviewed page lists 1% mUSD back for Virtual and 3% for Metal on the first $10,000 of spend, then 1% for Metal; terms apply.

Fees: Virtual is listed as free; Metal is listed at $199/year. A minimal transaction fee may apply.

Availability: Country and territory dependent; the reviewed page listed supported countries and noted temporarily closed US and UK signups.

BingX Card

BingX

BingX ties its metal format to an exchange account and advertises up to 5% cashback on eligible purchases plus 20% on selected subscriptions. The metal tier is earned through activity rather than bought outright, which suits active traders better than casual spenders.

Rewards: Up to 5% cashback on eligible purchases; up to 20% cashback on selected subscriptions.

Fees: No card issuance fee and no annual fee per the official announcement.

Availability: Available to eligible users; regional eligibility per BingX.

BitMart Card

BitMart

BitMart's metal option advertises 1% to 10% cashback depending on transaction type, merchant category, and loyalty tier. That wide range is the catch: the headline rate only matters if your spending actually matches the high-rate categories.

Rewards: 1% to 10% cashback based on transaction type, merchant category, and BitMart loyalty tier, per the official launch announcement.

Fees: No annual fee advertised; virtual card free; physical and metal cards carry issuance fees waived for VIP tiers; 1.3% fee on non-USD foreign currency spending per BitMart's official Medium account.

Availability: Open for applications globally per BitMart's launch announcement; regional restrictions may apply.

Tria Card

Tria

Tria's Premium metal tier advertises 6% cashback, the highest metal-tier rate in our data, on a self-custodial card that can load 1,000+ assets. The rewards are provider-advertised and conditional, but the self-custody angle is genuinely rare among metal cards.

Rewards: Tria advertises 1.5% cashback for Virtual, 4.5% for Signature, and 6% for Premium; these are provider-stated tier figures and conditions apply.

Fees: The official page describes a free and instant Virtual Card but does not present one complete public fee table for every tier. Review the current application and legal terms for issuance, conversion, FX, ATM, and premium-card costs.

Availability: Tria advertises card spending in 150+ countries; confirm current country eligibility in the application flow.

Wirex One Card

Wirex

The Wirex One Visa Signature Metal is the legacy premium option here, with up to 8% cashback advertised by membership tier across 150+ advertised countries. It reads as a status card first and a rewards card second, so weigh the tier requirements against what you would actually spend.

Rewards: Wirex advertises 0.5% to 8% cashback in USD depending on membership tier.

Fees: The reviewed product page advertises no monthly or annual card fee; applicable terms and regional charges should be checked with Wirex.

Availability: Wirex advertises availability in 150+ countries, subject to product and jurisdictional restrictions.

Winity Card

Winity Life

Winity's Executive metal earns points at 1 point per $10 spent on the Exclusive tier. It is the weakest rewards story in this shortlist, included because the metal format exists in our data, with redemption terms you should confirm before valuing those points.

Rewards: Winity shows 1 point per $10 spent for the Exclusive tier; points redemption, eligible transactions, and Executive benefits are subject to the loyalty programme terms.

Fees: The reviewed page shows the Exclusive virtual card as free to start and lists $20/year in its feature table, with physical-card and limited-issuance conditions requiring confirmation in the current terms.

Availability: Winity advertises 180+ countries, but says services are issued in Hong Kong and availability may vary by jurisdiction.

FAQs

Questions readers ask

Are metal crypto cards worth it?+

Only if the tier behind the metal earns its keep. A metal card usually unlocks a higher reward rate or higher limits, and the metal itself adds no spending power. Compare the tier's fees, reward caps, and requirements against the free tier before paying for prestige.

Do metal crypto cards have annual fees?+

Some do and some do not. Xapo charges a $1,000 annual membership, Uphold's Elite tier costs $99.99 a year, and others gate the metal format behind spending, loyalty, or membership tiers. The pricing field of each card profile shows the provider's stated terms.

Is this ranking financial advice?+

No. It is an editorial curation from our own card data, with provider wording kept intact. Reward rates, fees, tiers, and availability can change, so verify the current terms on the provider's site before applying.
