The short verdict: Karta leads overall (9 to 9). Per-user Fireblocks wallet; self-custody claim unverified, 1% Visa fee on non-USD spend FX. Health: Watch. Check each profile for what still needs confirming before deciding.
| Karta | The homepage meta text claims "25% cashback on purchases", but the page body only describes earning from referred friends' spending and no rate on the cardholder's own purchases is published; the fees articles do not mention cashback (official, karta.io and help centre, checked 20 Oct 2026). |
| RedotPay | 0% on the standard card. RedotPay Pro: 3% on Apple Pay and Google Pay purchases, capped at $18 a month, paid in USDs that expire after 30 days (official). |
Cashback is shown as a dated fact and never scored.
