What is Bitget Card?

Bitget Card is a crypto debit card offered by Bitget, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges known for spot trading, derivatives, and copy trading features. The card allows users to spend their crypto holdings at merchants worldwide by converting supported cryptocurrencies to fiat at the point of sale.

The Bitget Card operates on the Mastercard network, providing access to over 80 million merchants worldwide. It's a custodial card, meaning funds are held on the Bitget platform until spent. The card is currently available in Europe (EEA), UK, LATAM, and APAC regions.

Key Features & Services

Spend crypto at millions of merchants

Bitget Card enables users to spend their crypto holdings anywhere Mastercard is accepted. The card converts supported assets (USDT, USDC) to fiat currency at the point of purchase, eliminating the need to manually convert crypto to fiat before spending.

The card is compatible with major platforms like Amazon, TikTok, and ChatGPT, making it practical for both everyday purchases and digital subscriptions.

Mobile wallet support (Apple Pay & Google Pay)

Bitget Card supports Apple Pay and Google Pay, allowing users to make contactless payments directly from their smartphones. This feature provides convenience for tap-to-pay transactions without needing to carry the physical card.

Cashback rewards up to 1%

Cardholders can earn up to 1% cashback on eligible purchases. The cashback rate may be tied to BGB staking requirements, with higher staking levels potentially unlocking better rewards.

Virtual and physical cards with metal option

Bitget offers both virtual and physical card options. The physical card includes a metal card variant for users who prefer a premium feel. Virtual cards can be used immediately for online purchases while waiting for the physical card to arrive.

Card management features

Users have full control over their card through the Bitget app, including the ability to:

• Suspend the card temporarily
• Cancel the card permanently
• View transaction history
• Manage spending limits
