How we chose these picks

1.Include only non-hidden exchanges in CIR’s exchange directory, with evidence for the requested product.
2.Require a dated official product source or an active tracked staking offer. Broad tags and general country labels do not prove feature eligibility.
3.Order qualifying exchanges by CIR score, with a stable alphabetical tie-break.
4.Require at least two qualifying exchanges. Evidence older than 180 days is excluded until reviewed; geographic variants require evidence for that product and region.

Check both the card charge and crypto purchase quote

Debit card purchases can include payment processing costs as well as a purchase fee or spread. Your card issuer may also impose a charge or decline crypto transactions.

Check country eligibility, card verification and any withdrawal hold. Compare the final crypto amount received with a bank-funded purchase of the same size.

Frequently asked questions

Does every account have access to these features?

No. Country, state, verification and account restrictions can apply. The source beside each exchange explains the documented support; confirm availability in your own account.

Why are some exchanges missing?

CIR includes only exchanges in its exchange directory that are publicly listed and have current evidence for this comparison. Missing or expired evidence excludes an exchange rather than implying that its fees are zero or that a feature is unsupported.
