Coinbase Card
Coinbase Card is a crypto card issued on Visa, rated 8.6/10 in our latest review. Below: what it costs and what it demands, the tiers the issuer publishes, and how the card cleared our live checkouts.
Coinbase Card is the strongest fit for app store / play and free issuance, and asks for ID + proof at signup — we carry it at low risk. Treat the fee rows as the deciding factor: a card that clears reliably but charges on every top-up costs more than its rating suggests.

Frequently asked
What does Coinbase Card cost to run?
The cost lines stack like this: issuing the card is free; there is no monthly fee on the entry tier; top-ups cost 0% (USD/USDC); ~2.49% on other crypto-funded spend; conversion is priced at 0% foreign transaction fee; crypto conversion spread applies; you need Not applicable to get going. Cash-out costs are what compound here, so weigh the recurring lines above the one-off fee.
Do I need to verify my identity for Coinbase Card?
Coinbase Card asks for ID + proof at signup. The check runs once when the account opens, not on each charge, and the issuer's own wording is: Yes (full KYC: ID + selfie + proof of address; Coinbase account)
How can I fund Coinbase Card?
You can fund it with crypto (50+ / 160+ assets), bank transfer (PayPal/bank funding). Pick the one you can top up cheaply and repeatedly, because the load fee is charged every time.
Which billing address does Coinbase Card need?
Setting it up: the billing address type is US General; cards are issued against United States (excl. Hawaii); an AVS check is applied. Copy the address the issuer generates rather than retyping it. A transposed digit is the most common reason a working range starts failing.
Does Coinbase Card work for subscriptions and AI tools?
We recorded successful charges for the App Store and Google Play. Where a card passes on one merchant and fails on another, the difference is usually the processor and the 3-D Secure setting rather than the card itself.
Will Coinbase Card trigger 3-D Secure?
Yes. Coinbase Card supports 3-D Secure, so expect a step-up prompt on larger or first-time charges. An OTP you can complete is fine; a challenge that never arrives is what kills the order, so keep the issuer app open at checkout.
How many cards can I open with Coinbase Card?
The issuer allows 1 card per account. Multiple numbers under one account is the practical pattern here: one per merchant, so a single block does not take the rest of your billing down with it.
How VCCFinder tests
VCCFinder buys cards at retail and charges them on live checkouts, then publishes the clear rate and decline reasons next to each range. Where a card declined, the reason sits on its BIN page rather than in a footnote here.
