How Much Is the Foreign Exchange Fee to Use These Cards in Nepal?
Since these cards are denominated in USD or EUR, every time you spend in Nepal, your payment needs to be converted into Nepalese Rupee first. Your card will charge an FX fee when converting to NPR.
Here's how they compare when it comes to foreign exchange (FX) fees.
* Visa and Mastercard charge around ~1% on top of the card's FX fee.
Example: Kolo charges 1% foreign exchange fee. On a 1,500 Rupees purchase, you pay Rs 1,500 + Rs 15 foreign exchange fee + Rs 15 Visa foreign exchange fee = Rs 1,530.
When a payment terminal asks, choose the local currency, Rupees. This lets your crypto card handle the exchange rate, so you can be sure of the exact percentage you will pay. If you choose USD, the local POS terminal bank does the conversion instead, often at a worse rate. In some countries, that markup can reach 8%.

How Much Cashback Do These Crypto Cards Pay?
Out of the 9 crypto cards available in Nepal, 3 offer cashback.
The highest advertised cashback % is usually not what you get on the free tier. You may need to pay a monthly fee or stake a large amount of tokens to unlock it.
Below you will see the entry-level cashback rate instead: what you can earn on the Free tier.

Cashback is paid on the amount you spend, and most cards limit how much you can earn. Some publish a monthly cap, and the figure above stops there. Others advertise a rate that only applies to the first slice of your monthly spend, then drop to a much lower ongoing rate - that drop is applied above too. Either way, a headline rate on its own tells you very little.

KAST and RedotPay are almost ideal, except that they have foreign exchange fees of 1.75% and 1.2% respectively. Kolo comes close, but it has a foreign exchange fee of 1% and no physical card.
Best for Nepal: If you're from Nepal, the best card for you to use, based on the above, is KAST Card.
