\"\"<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
In a move signaling the next wave of crypto-fintech convergence, Bitget Wallet has partnered with Mastercard and Immersve<\/strong> to launch a zero-fee crypto card<\/strong> that allows users to spend crypto seamlessly at over 150 million merchants worldwide.<\/div>\n
Integrated directly into the Bitget Wallet app\u2014which already boasts 80 million+ users globally\u2014the card enables real-time on-chain funding<\/strong> via crypto deposits and swaps. Users can also benefit from optional incentives such as transaction-based rewards<\/strong>, yield on idle wallet balances, and one-time bonuses for completing KYC<\/a><\/strong>.<\/div>\n
With Mastercard\u2019s \u201cdigital-first\u201d issuance model, the card can be applied for online and added to a mobile wallet within minutes\u2014ready for use at both online and in-store merchants. Powered by Mastercard-licensed issuer Immersve<\/strong>, the card includes built-in KYC and AML protocols and settles all transactions on-chain through fiat-to-crypto conversion.<\/div>\n
The rollout will begin in the UK and EU<\/strong>, with planned expansion into Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand<\/strong> in the coming months.<\/div>\n
