- Premium clients with $100,000 in assets at Wealthsimple receive a metal card
- Tap payments through a digital wallet have no cap

This is Wealthsimple’s own card, and it looks like a solid one-card setup. It suits people who are not chasing U.S. cards but still want everyday spending without foreign-transaction fees.
Highlights
- 2% unlimited cash back on almost all spending
- No currency-conversion or foreign-transaction fees
- AutoPay is available, so the bill is low-maintenance
