Rewards and perks
Bitpanda Card offers cashback rather than points or another stated reward format. The rewards type is cashback, and the listed return is 1% cashback on crypto asset spending on crypto asset spending. The reward feature is specifically tied to spending that falls within the stated crypto asset category. The listed perks confirm the same cashback structure, giving the card a clear purpose for people who already use crypto assets.

Using it day to day
The card is listed as a debit card under debit, and its network is Visa under visa. It is also described separately as a credit card under credit.
