Who is behind Coinbase One Card?

Card programs stand and fall with their operator and BIN sponsor. This is what we could verify - with sources. Confidence: high (checked 2026-09-26).

Operator	Coinbase One Card (issued via Cardless)
Legal entity / issuer	Coinbase, Inc. (program); Cardless, Inc. (embedded credit card issuer platform)
Registered in	United States

"Coinbase ... has partnered with Cardless, a U.S.-based fintech company, to launch the new Coinbase One Card on the issuer's embedded credit card platform" (Upgraded Points, updated 2026-04-14). Coinbase is the first partner to issue a card on Cardless' embedded platform. Note: a separate Coinbase Visa debit card ('Coinbase Card') also exists - do not conflate the two products.

Wirex

The veteran (2014) reinvented as a stablecoin bank: fee-free FX worldwide, multi-currency accounts with 1:1 stablecoin conversion, real Visa/Mastercard principal memberships and an 8% headline cashback. Fee details hide in the help hub, and the El Salvador licensing move makes the regulatory story newer than its brand.

Nexo Card

The most complete dual-mode card: one tap switches between spending your crypto (Debit, with daily interest) and borrowing against it (Credit, from 1.9%) - with free ATM allowances up to EUR 2,000/month and no card fees. The catch: meaningful cashback needs a $5,000+ portfolio and is denominated in NEXO, and it is EEA/UK-only.

Uphold Card

Back and verifiable: the Uphold Debit Card relaunched in the US with up to 4% back in XRP (Elite, $99.99/yr) or 2% (Essential, free), Visa acceptance with Apple/Google Pay, no credit check and FDIC pass-through on the USD balance. The trade-offs: rewards are XRP-denominated with conditions (holding periods, monthly caps), the program's history is pause-and-restart, and support tickets show crediting/adjustment friction. US-only (no NY/LA/territories).
