Full review pending - see the facts table and comparison data below.

What works

BTC-denominated card balance supported (converted to USD at transaction time)
Non-Custodial Mode: "funds in your Card Balance are secured by your cryptographic keys. Blink does not have custody of these funds until the moment a Transaction is initiated"
Integrated with the established Blink Lightning wallet (real-time transaction view in-app)
Named issuer (Third National, LLC, Visa license) and program manager (Signify Holdings)

What to watch

Full KYC; eligible jurisdictions not published
Fee schedule not public (app-only)
Credit Mode not currently active
Próspera ZEDE (Honduras) jurisdiction for the tech provider

Fee reality check

Fine print	The fee schedule lives only inside the Blink App - the public Cardholder Agreement references "an Overdraft Late Repayment Fee as published in the Fee Schedule" but no public fee table exists. Credit Mode (BTC/stablecoin collateral) is "not currently active ... may be activated in the future".
