Argentine prepaid Mastercard that spent crypto as ARS pesos with up to 5% crypto cashback — discontinued as Buenbit merges into Nexo (April 2026).

Total, per $100 spent: not published

The issuer does not publish enough of its charges for us to price this card. That is not the same as cheap.

What Buenbit Card costs

Buenbit Card publishes no fee schedule at all — not one of these charges is named on buenbit.com. That is why this record carries no price: the ledger says so rather than estimating one.

Not published by the issuer: to issue the card, monthly, to load, to spend, per payment, fixed, to spend outside the dollar, at a cash machine.

DEFUNCT. Historical reference: card issuance and maintenance free; one free ATM withdrawal per month, then ARS 79 + VAT; international purchases incurred Argentine PAIS (30%) and AFIP (35%) taxes. Service ended 2026-04-01.

KYC: what Buenbit Card asks for

A government document. Passport or ID goes to the issuer and to whoever processes verification for it, before the card is handed over.

Where it works

WalletsNeither
Accepted whereOnline, in person, cash machines
Account detailsNone — it is a card, not an account

The issuer names no country it turns away. That is not a promise that every country works.

The other flaws

  • Replacement Nexo Card not yet launched (Q2 2026)
  • Argentina-only product; never expanded to other Latam markets
