Pros and cons
CoinJar
Pros
- Cashback of 1% on every card purchase
- Trading costs 0.1% a trade, under the site median of 0.2%
- Top-ups are free and card spend draws on the CoinJar balance
Cons
- Conversion on card spend is 2.99%, above the site median of 1%
- Only 45 coins are listed, against a site median of 62

Nebeus
Pros
- Staking pays 15%, above the 7% typical of the earn group and well above bunq Crypto Spain at 8.25%
- No lock-up, instant unstake applies, so staked coins can be unstaked straight away, unlike products that tie the balance for a set period
- The card carries a €0 charge and a 0% currency conversion fee, and a €2,000 free ATM withdrawal allowance
Cons
- 30 listed coins sits well under the 137.5 for the earn group, so the trading list is thin

- Support runs on help centre only, with no live chat or phone line listed

Questions about each
CoinJar
How much does the CoinJar card cost to hold and to use?+
The card has a monthly fee of AUD 0, so keeping it open costs nothing. Currency conversion on card spend is 2.99%, and card spend earns cashback of 1%. Top-ups are free, and spend comes straight from your CoinJar balance.
What do trades cost on CoinJar?+
Taker fees are 0.1% and maker fees are 0.1%, so the gap between the two sides is small. The site median taker fee is 0.2%, which places CoinJar below the middle of the exchanges compared here.
Nebeus
What yield does Nebeus pay on staking?+
Nebeus states a 15% return on staked balances. That sits above the 7% across the earn group, though the page figure is a headline rate rather than a locked-in annual return. Read it alongside the assets you intend to stake.
Can I unstake straight away?+
Yes. No lock-up, instant unstake applies, so positions are not tied up for a fixed period. That flexibility is worth more to some readers than a slightly higher rate on a product that locks a balance for a set term.
