OUR SCORE

How we rate them

Our own assessment, not a user rating — four criteria at 25% each, scored against each issuer's published terms. See the scoring model. We have not scored the Ripio Card yet, so there is nothing to compare the total against — a missing score is not a low one.

Rewards 25%3.5Up to 3% by spending tier, paid in BTC equivalent or USDC. Binance does not publish the spending thresholds, so the mid-tier rate is an estimate.—
Reliability 25%4.0Large, established issuer with regional terms published, and our figures were re-checked this month. The programme covers only Brazil, Peru and Colombia.—

A dash means the issuer has not published that figure — it does not mean zero. See our methodology for how each field is verified. Rewards and availability change often and vary by region. Not financial advice.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Binance Card vs Ripio Card: common questions

Which is better, the Binance Card or the Ripio Card?

It depends on what you optimise for. Binance Card is a prepaid card advertising up to 3%; Ripio Card is a prepaid card advertising up to 4%. Compare their fees, regions and custody model side by side before deciding.

Can I get both the Binance Card and the Ripio Card?

Usually yes — these are separate products from different issuers, so holding one does not prevent you from applying for the other, provided you meet each issuer's own eligibility and region requirements.
