Head to head

MetaMask Card vs Wirex Card

You want a card that issues outside the US, which is where the MetaMask card is not available.

Where the two actually differ

  • Wirex Card returns more cashback on spending, up to 8%.
  • If you use ATMs, Wirex Card has the higher cash withdrawal limit: EUR 5,000 per month against $1,000 per transaction for MetaMask Card.
  • Wirex Card accepts more assets directly, listed on its card page, which decides whether you have to convert before you spend.

Every line above is generated from the fields in the table below, so none of it is an opinion. Where a value is missing from the provider dataset, the difference is reported as unknown rather than as a win.
