What Credit or debit card is

Credit and debit card payments run over the international card networks, mainly Visa and Mastercard, alongside American Express and domestic schemes such as Cartes Bancaires in France or RuPay in India. Your issuing bank authorises each payment in real time, so the funds are committed the moment the transaction is approved. Visa alone says it connects businesses, banks and governments in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide, which is why this is the most widely available way to fund an exchange account. It is also the rail most likely to be repriced or blocked by your own bank.

Speed
Authorisation is real time, so a card deposit normally lands within seconds and rarely takes more than a few minutes.
Cost of the rail
The networks bill the merchant rather than you, but many issuers class a crypto purchase as a cash advance, and the CFPB notes that interest on a cash advance generally starts from the transaction date with no grace period.
Limits
Your issuer sets the per transaction and daily ceiling, and a card that works fine for ordinary retail can still be declined on a crypto merchant category.
