Author & Research Lead, NomadCard · London, UK
Amanda Parker leads research at NomadCard, where every published fee across 59 crypto cards is verified against issuer documentation, with the verification date shown on every figure.
How I test
- Official fees, limits and availability come from the issuer's own documentation, with a source link and a verification date on every figure.
- Scores follow a published formula — see the methodology.
- First-person experience is only ever claimed where it is real; everything else is clearly research-based.
