About CardCompare

CardCompare is an independent directory of virtual card platforms. We track what each provider actually charges — issuance fees, monthly fees, FX markups, cashback — and map where each card is available.

How we rate

Every card scores out of 10 across fees (40%), availability (25%), features (20%) and trust (15%). See our full methodology.

Staying current

Fees change often. We re-verify on a rolling basis and stamp research dates. The provider's app always has the final word.
