Our top all-round pick: Fizen
Across the whole directory, Fizen is the most complete package for spending USDT: no FX fees and 0% top-up, up to 10% cashback you can take as stablecoins, gift cards or FIZEN token (converted from FiPoints), self-custody so your funds stay yours, up to 100 virtual cards and a $1M daily limit, plus QR Pay and eSIM across Southeast Asia. It is backed by Tether, the issuer of USDT, with responsive support. For most people it beats Oobit on the all-in cost of getting money onto the card and spending it.
