MetaMask Card
MetaMask Card is a self-custodial Mastercard debit card that lets eligible users spend supported assets directly from MetaMask. The free Virtual Card earns 1% mUSD back on eligible purchases. The Metal Card costs $199/year, earns 3% mUSD back on the first $10,000 of annual spend and 1% thereafter, and is a physical metal card available to eligible US users when ordering is open.
Is the MetaMask Card worth it?
The MetaMask Card is a debit card on Mastercard, paying up to 3% back on spend. Whether it suits you comes down to the trade-offs below.
GOOD FIT IF
- you want up to 3% back on everyday spending
- you don't want to stake or lock up a token to earn the rate
- you want your crypto to stay in your own wallet until you spend it
THINK TWICE IF
- a fixed cost is a dealbreaker — the annual fee is Free Virtual; $199/year Metal
How we rate the MetaMask Card
- Cost25%4.0 / 5
The Virtual card is free with a 1% cross-border fee and 2% on ATM withdrawals. Stablecoin conversion is free in matching currencies, 0.5–0.875% otherwise.
- Conditions25%4.5 / 5
Nothing to stake or hold on the free card. The 3% rate needs the $199-a-year Metal card, three times the everyday rate.
- Rewards25%3.0 / 5
1% on the free Virtual card, paid in mUSD, a dollar stablecoin rather than a volatile token. Metal's 3% on the first $10,000 a year barely covers its own fee.
- Reliability25%4.0 / 5

Earning Up to 3%

Up to 3%, 1% on the free Virtual card, 3% on Metal's first $10,000 each year, paid in mUSD. No staking required for the base rate.
