CEX.IO CARD

A crypto debit card offers a convenient bridge between decentralized and traditional finance, by allowing users to apply their digital assets toward everyday purchases, with minimal effort. For instance, CEX.IO Card is a debit card that empowers its holders to use 100+ digital assets to pay for goods and services instantly. It is accepted by over 30 million merchants in 150+ countries, where CEX.IO provides its services.

In terms of user experience, crypto debit cards resemble regular bank cards. However, unlike bank cards, they are linked to a crypto payment app, or wallet. CEX.IO Card grants users the ability to access their CEX.IO Wallet balance for in-person and online orders.

When a user makes a purchase with digital assets using their CEX.IO Card, they instantly convert into fiat currency, at the existing exchange rate. The converted fiat currency is then used to complete the transaction with the merchant, just like a traditional debit card.

Participants can monitor their CEX.IO Wallet balance, as well as link preferred assets to spend via CEX.IO Card by using our mobile app. Eligible users can also fund their crypto wallet, transfer, or buy crypto using various funding methods supported on CEX.IO.
