Bitget and Mastercard Unveil Zero-Fee Crypto Card for Global Real-World Spending
Bitget and Mastercard launch a no-fee crypto card with real-time blockchain payments and global acceptance at over 150 million merchants.
In a bold move to integrate cryptocurrency into everyday commerce, Bitget Wallet has partnered with Mastercard and Web3 firm Immersve to launch a groundbreaking zero-fee crypto card. This new product allows users to spend digital assets at more than 150 million merchants worldwide that accept Mastercard.
Available through the Bitget Wallet app, the card is tailored for global crypto users seeking both convenience and regulatory assurance. It supports real-time blockchain transactions that are instantly converted into fiat currency via Immersve’s licensed infrastructure. Every transaction complies with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations.
The card can be linked to Mastercard’s Digital First initiative, enabling users to instantly issue their cards digitally and utilize Apple Pay and Google Pay tap-to-pay features. Users can fund their card via crypto deposits or on-chain swaps, providing unmatched flexibility and speed.
Issuance is quick and accessible: with just a 10 USDC fee and basic KYC, users can apply and begin spending within minutes—no credit checks or security deposits required. Once approved, the card can be used immediately via mobile wallets.
Initially supporting USDC on the Base blockchain, the Bitget Wallet Card is positioned to expand to other high-liquidity tokens and networks such as Ethereum and Solana, depending on user demand. This ensures low-cost, fast blockchain transactions with wide market applicability.
Launched first in the UK and European Union, Bitget aims to extend its reach to Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand. Early adopters are being incentivized with a generous rewards program that includes 5% cashback in BGB for the first 2,000 cardholders, yield rewards for wallet balances, and bonuses for completing ID verification.
Jerome Faury, CEO of Immersve, emphasized the merger of crypto and traditional finance: "This card makes spending digital assets globally as easy as using fiat." Scott Abrahams of Mastercard added, "This initiative highlights the importance of linking digital wallets to practical, everyday use."
Bitget Wallet, a decentralized platform supporting over 130 blockchains and serving more than 80 million users, continues to push for a more accessible and secure Web3 experience. Its $300 million user protection fund further underlines its commitment to consumer safety.
