Card programs die - issuers collapse (Wirecard 2020), regulators strike, exchanges retreat from whole regions. We keep ended programs visible on purpose: as history, without visit links. This is the list most affiliate sites quietly delete. "Watch" is not an accusation: those cards are still listed, but with active concerns you should read before loading funds.
Closing soon - announced end dates
The operator announced an end date; the ranking, quick picks and finder already exclude these. Order only if you will stop using the card before the date - and do not keep a balance you are not prepared to move.
Gnosis Pay
Watch for the December 2026 sunset: the consumer product is closing. Solid self-custody architecture (card only moves whitelisted tokens from your Safe to settlement, up to a daily limit), but as a spending card it has an end date. Migrate to a partner app (Rebind/Picnic) or another self-custody card before 20 December 2026.
Program ended or was withdrawn from key markets. Existing cards may still work; new orders do not. Balance holders should check the provider's wind-down terms.
Ready
A self-custody stablecoin card from an established wallet team - your keys, USDC spending - with EEA focus and the segment's usual no-rewards trade-off. Details pending verification pass.
Do not order: the Solflare Card stopped working on 28 July 2026 when its issuer Kulipa wound down, and the promised replacement has not launched. Funds stayed safe in the self-custody wallet (no issuer balance to lose) - that part held. If a new-issuer card returns, it will be a new card; existing cards will not carry over.
Discontinued for new applicants - the longest-running US crypto prepaid card, now ended. Kept as archive: BitPay continues as a payments company, but the card program is closed to new users.
Discontinued - a wallet-native card that did not survive its launch cycle. Archive entry: the hardware-wallet company continues; the card program does not accept orders.
Discontinued - the US national bank that pioneered in-app crypto trading, then dropped it in early 2024 under OCC consent-order pressure. Archive entry for the banks segment: even a real US bank charter did not make crypto banking stick.
Discontinued in practice - no card product is marketed on uquid.com anymore (card URLs return 404; the site is a web3 shopping marketplace). The card rail has been gone since at least January 2025; do not sign up expecting a card.
discontinued
No card product on the official site (card URLs 404, marketplace-only since at least 2025-01-09)
Documented 2023 bitcointalk case: user alleges UQC balance (50.95 UQC) zeroed and access denied
User report of 'problems with the card vendor' blocking card registration (web-surfaced, unverified)
The 1inch Card was a genuine, live Mastercard crypto card (provided by Crypto Life/Baanx, issued by UAB Monavate) with up to 2% crypto cashback and Apple Pay/Google Pay, but it is discontinued: new sign-ups closed around 20 October 2026 with no reason given, and 1inch tells holders to withdraw balances by 18 December 2026 while admitting it cannot guarantee cards work that long. What marketing called self-custody spending was a custodial e-money account, and the real crypto-to-fiat conversion margin was never published. Do not sign up; if you still hold a balance, move it out now.
discontinued
Programme discontinued: 'The 1inch Card programme is being discontinued... new sign-ups are closed and the programme is winding down' (1inch help center FAQ, accessed 2026-11-04).
No reason disclosed: '1inch has not disclosed the reason behind the discontinuation or announced a replacement card service' (Crypto Briefing, 2026-10-20).
1inch disclaims control of the shutdown: the 18 Dec 2026 deadline is only 'as far ahead as we can currently foresee' and 'Exact card functionality timelines are set by the issuer and provider, not 1inch'.
Self-custody framing vs custodial reality: card balances were e-money held by Baanx.com Ltd (UK) / Frozen Time UNIPESSOAL LDA (EU), with CL handling KYC and closures.
Counterparty churn: Companies House shows Baanx.com Ltd renamed MONAVATE ONCHAIN LTD (19 Aug 2026) and Baanx Group Ltd renamed BGROUP TECHNOLOGY LTD (26 Oct 2026), while 1inch's FAQ still directs users to 'Baanx.com Ltd' and 'Baanx Group Ltd'.
1inch cannot fix account problems: 'We can't action account-level requests ourselves, but we will push to get your request handled.'
Crypto-to-fiat conversion margin (the real ongoing cost) was never published in accessible sources; CL's Platform Fees page is not readable without JavaScript.
Post-closure dormancy fee: issuer terms state that after 12 months Monavate 'will start deducting a fee' from unclaimed balances.
No longer operating - balances are likely gone. Frozen or parked pages can still answer with HTTP 200: "reachable" in the daily check never means "working".
PlasBit
DEAD: plasbit.com has no A record any more and does not answer on http or https (verified 2026-10-31; the operator link checker flagged it down 21 times since ~2026-10-10). The card product is not operating - do not order or load funds. Existing-balance questions would have to go through the operator’s support channels while they still answer mail.
dead
Plastic and metal card issuance paused indefinitely (official site alert, live 2026-10-01)
No numeric fee rates published anywhere on the official site - fee table requires a browser session
2026-08 r/CryptoScams thread alleges PlasBit is a scam (weak, unverified signal - brand impersonation possible)
Cards issued via Wirex BaaS - third-party issuer dependency
Dead - the crypto-cashback neobank frozen in the Synapse collapse of 2024. Archive entry: this is what happens when your card's bank rails run through a middleman that fails - the cautionary tale for every BaaS-stacked card in this comparison.
Dead - the canonical issuer-risk story: a card program dies with its BIN sponsor (Wirecard, June 2020). This archive entry is why issuer structure matters in every review on this site.
Dead - TRASTRA (UAB 'Trastra EU', Vilnius) filed for insolvency in May 2025; its own August 2025 creditor notice declares the company insolvent. The site is unreachable (522) and users report locked funds. Archive entry: another EEA crypto card that died with its operator - do not send funds.
dead
Insolvent: UAB 'Trastra EU' filed for insolvency May 2025; creditor notice 2025-08-22 (Lithuanian JANIE proceedings)
Dead - in special administration since 7 July 2025 (FCA-confirmed). The UK's small crypto-neobank went insolvent after the FCA stopped its activities in June 2025; ~GBP 2M of customer funds are missing, 'Boost' savers were unsecured lenders without knowing it, and crypto balances were never safeguarded. Archive entry: FCA registration is not deposit insurance.
Confirmed pattern of unpaid users or load theft. Do not order or load funds.
No scam-flagged programs right now.
Under watch - elevated risk, read first
Still listed with status chips, but our fact checks logged active concerns (issuer opacity, unresolved complaints, program instability). Not a scam accusation - read the review before you load funds.

Underlying card program rated 'Bad' 1.7/5 on Trustpilot (36 reviews): prepaid cards unexpectedly blocked or repeatedly declined leaving funds stuck, unhelpful support, unexpected policy changes; one reviewer reports a cancelled $3,000 card and another says 'funds are still frozen. Lawsuits likely pending soon for Reloadly'.

Underlying card program rated 'Bad' 1.7/5 on Trustpilot (36 reviews): prepaid cards unexpectedly blocked or repeatedly declined leaving funds stuck, unhelpful support, unexpected policy changes; one reviewer reports a cancelled $3,000 card and another says 'funds are still frozen. Lawsuits likely pending soon for Reloadly'.
No-KYC marketing does not survive contact with the card: Swype's own homepage says 'complete a quick verification process (KYC)', Bitrefill documents a 'soft KYC' step at activation, and the privacy policy lists 'Name, email, phone number, date of birth, government-issued ID' among collected data. Trustpilot reviewers report government ID plus a facial selfie demanded just to replace a $50 card.
Balance destruction by design: cards expire 90 days after last activity (max 3 years) and 'Upon expiration, all unused funds associated with the Card shall be forfeited and permanently unavailable', while a $2.50 monthly inactivity fee starts after two months of no activity - passive balances are drained then confiscated.
Fee stripping on a 'bought-once' card: $2.50/month from the second month, 2.75% + $0.55 FX, $0.10 fee on transactions under $5, decline fees even for 'Prohibited Merchant' declines, and a $50 chargeback fee charged 'regardless of the outcome'; 3DS-authenticated disputes are 'automatically declined' with no refund.
Operator/issuer chain is three layers deep and mostly undisclosed at the point of sale: purchase via Trocador (Reta Development Assets LLC, Saint Kitts and Nevis) -> Swype program (Reloadly Inc, Miami) -> unnamed 'Sponsored Banks in the United States' (the service agreement names Regions Bank). The buyer has no direct relationship with the issuing bank and the issuer is not named on the Trocador order page.
KYC ambush risk documented on the aggregator side too: a kycnot.me user reports 'a KYC ambush with Trocador and his partners' with funds blocked pending verification (refunded after escalation), and another user's prepaid card was held 48+ hours while the provider 'ran checks' over the buyer's email domain.
Regional rules are contradictory across Swype's own terms, Bitrefill and Giftronaut (US banned vs US-only; EEA banned on one list, unrestricted on the other), and activation/usage over VPN can trigger fraud blocks, so even the usable geography is uncertain.
Trocador's terms exclude US, EEA and sanctioned-region residents, but the Swype card it sells is a US-issued product - the compliance posture of the resale chain is unclear.
Discontinued: no longer accepting new users (region-specific or global). Dead: no longer operating (a frozen page can still answer with HTTP 200 - reachability is not operation). Scam: a confirmed pattern of unpaid users or load theft. Watch: unresolved concerns that did not (yet) meet the bar for a scam flag. Status is per our methodology; providers can dispute with evidence via contact.
