Seamless on GrapheneOS
I use Halocard on GrapheneOS and it's been a very seemless experience. Support is great (I have went to them with some questions before), and I have yet to run into an issue.

Already have a Canadian bank card? Here's why you need Halocard
Real Visa credit cards issued from the USA
Canadian debit cards are frequently declined by US merchants due to foreign BIN detection and AVS mismatches. With Halocard you create virtual credit cards directly on the US Visa network — processed as domestic US transactions.
More virtual cards for every purchase
Create dedicated cards for SaaS subscriptions, online shopping, and advertising spend. Isolate costs and prevent billing surprises.
Nominate a US billing address
Nominate a US billing address (or any custom address worldwide) on any card, essential for accessing US-only services like Amazon US, Hulu, HBO Max, and more.
Private purchases separate from your bank
Halocard doesn't connect to your Canadian bank via Interac or direct debit. Your spending never appears on your TD, RBC, or Scotiabank statement.
Why do Canadian cards often decline at US merchants?
Canadian debit and prepaid cards are routinely declined by US merchants because they carry non-US BINs and fail address verification (AVS) checks. Even Interac-linked Visa Debit cards can be rejected at US checkouts. Halocard solves this with US-issued Visa credit cards that process as domestic transactions, reducing the risk of declines.
15–25%
Decline rate for cross-border debit transactions. Canadian cards flagged as foreign at US checkouts face significantly higher rejection rates.
3.8%
Average decline rate for credit cards. US-issued credit cards have higher acceptance and avoid cross-border friction.
