What is Bybit Card?
Bybit Card is a Mastercard crypto card that allows users to effortlessly transition between crypto and fiat currencies in their daily transactions. It’s designed to simplify the spending of cryptocurrencies by converting them to fiat when making payments.
How does Bybit Card work?
Bybit Card integrates the flexibility of cryptocurrency with the widespread acceptance of fiat currencies through Mastercard. When you make a purchase, the necessary amount of cryptocurrency is converted into fiat currency, allowing for immediate transaction approval without the need for retailers to accept crypto directly. This feature provides users with the flexibility to spend their digital currencies at any merchant that accepts Mastercard, effectively turning crypto assets into a spendable form across millions of locations worldwide. Alternatively, you can also choose to spend fiat with the Bybit Card.
Bybit Card also offers an attractive Loyalty Rewards Program that earns you 2-10% cashback in points every time you use your Bybit Card to pay with crypto or fiat, depending on your VIP level. These points can then be redeemed for different rewards. If you enable Auto Cashback, your points will automatically be converted into USDT! Additionally, you can earn passive income in major crypto like BTC, ETH and MNT when you toggle the Auto Earn feature on as well.
