A virtual card is fast to issue and useful online, but it changes how you think about ATM access and backup payments.
A virtual card can make subscriptions and first purchases safer, but only if you use it deliberately.
The phone wallet feature is not flashy. It is what decides whether the card leaves the crypto niche.
Kraken charges nothing to withdraw. Three other parties still can, and one of them is avoidable.
The card launched for UK and EU residents. What that means if you live elsewhere, or move.
Rewards can be paid in euro, sterling or BTC. The choice is a small recurring investment decision, so treat it like one.
Rewards are tiered by your average balance, not your spending. That changes who the top rate is for.
Kraken charges zero on transactions, FX and ATMs. That does not make spending free, and this is where the money goes instead.
Ordering takes minutes. The two settings worth thinking about before the first purchase are less obvious.
One purchase can draw on more than one balance. Useful, and worth setting up deliberately rather than by accident.
