Stablecoin Cards Are Becoming the New Neobanks

7 min read

The line between a stablecoin card and a neobank is disappearing. Here's what that means for how you bank.

From card to account

Early crypto cards were just a spend rail on top of an exchange balance. The newest products add IBANs, local rails, withdrawals and yield — the feature set of a neobank, denominated in stablecoins.

Why stablecoins make it possible

USDC and USDT give these apps a stable unit of account and instant settlement without a banking license in every market, letting them launch globally far faster than a traditional neobank.

What to compare

Treat them like banks: account features, withdrawal rails, supported currencies, KYC, and fees. Our neobank ranking scores exactly these.
