The short verdict: Karta leads overall (9 to 8). 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). |
| THORWallet Card | Premium 0.5% in USDC on the first $5,000 of card spend per month in year one, then capped at $2,000 per month if the user does not stake TITN. Basic 0% (official, cards page and help centre, checked 20 Oct 2026). The cards page says it is paid from the card's FX margin. |
Cashback is shown as a dated fact and never scored.
