Looking for a Grey alternative?
Grey is built for freelancers who receive money from abroad. If you'd rather fund a dollar card from naira or crypto, here's how Pyker's card compares.
Why people compare Grey with other apps
Grey describes itself as offering US, UK and EU accounts for receiving international payments, plus a virtual dollar card, aimed at people who work across borders.
If you don't earn in foreign currency and simply want a card for subscriptions and online shopping, a card funded from your naira balance or your crypto can be more direct.
