Our Reviewer & Methodology

How we review crypto cards

Every card on CryptoCardScout is scored against a single, fixed rubric: fees (annual, FX and spend), rewards, custody model, supported coins, network and country availability. We read the issuer’s own documentation and terms, record the verifiable facts, and apply the same 0–10 scoring to every card so two cards are always compared the same way. Where an issuer does not publish a detail, we say so rather than guess.

About the analyst

Daniel Mercer leads card analysis at CryptoCardScout. He focuses on crypto payment cards, stablecoin spending, custody models and cross-border fees, and maintains the scoring methodology used across the site. Reviews are updated as issuers change their terms.

Independent and reader-funded: we may earn a commission when you open a card through our links, at no extra cost to you. Commissions never change a card’s score.
