What is the Nexo Card and what are the benefits
In this article:
1. Nexo Card features and benefits
The Nexo Card is the first-ever dual-mode card that allows you to switch between Debit Mode and Credit Mode purchases to suit your needs.
The card is available in two formats: virtual and physical. If you meet the eligibility requirements, you can activate your virtual card right away and order a physical card for added convenience – both at no additional cost.

-
Link your Nexo Card to Apple Pay, Google Pay, or another digital wallet to effortlessly make your desired purchases from the comfort of your mobile phone. That way, you can also make ATM withdrawals, provided the machine supports contactless operations.
2. Credit Mode
In Credit Mode, the Nexo Card functions as a natural extension of Nexo’s Crypto Credit Lines, allowing you to make everyday purchases on the go without selling your crypto.
Credit Mode purchases are covered by your Available to Borrow balance, which is backed by your crypto assets. In other words, you spend borrowed funds, while your crypto is used as collateral for the loan (instead of being sold).
The borrowing rate depends on your Loyalty Tier. Gold and Platinum Loyalty Tier clients can also benefit from our Low-Cost Credit Lines with borrowing rates of 5.9% p.a. (Gold) and 2.9% p.a. (Platinum) for loans with a Credit Line Wallet LTV ratio below 20%. To enable this feature, follow the steps in this article.

3. Debit Mode
Now that Nexo has explored how the Nexo Card works when connected to your Credit Line, let’s take a look at the Debit Mode functionality.
Unlike the Credit Mode, where your purchases are funded via crypto-backed loans, in Debit Mode, you spend the assets stored in your Savings Wallet (Flexible Savings):
-
FIATx assets (EURx, GBPx, and USDx)
-
Stablecoins
-
Cryptocurrencies
These assets continue to earn between 0% and 14% interest per year, depending on your Loyalty Tier, until they are spent on a purchase. You can customize the spending order and decide which assets you want to spend.

4. Important notes
-
The Nexo Card is available only to personal (individual) account holders. Corporate (business) account holders cannot order Nexo Cards.
- Each eligible client can hold only one active physical Nexo Card and one active virtual Nexo Card at any given time.
-
Switching to Debit Mode requires that you have some FIATx, crypto, or stablecoins in your Flexible Savings balance. Switching to Credit Mode requires that you have some crypto/stablecoins in your Flexible Savings balance or in your Credit Line Wallet.
-
The interest applied to loans is compound, meaning that it is calculated on both the initial principal and the accrued interest.
What is the Nexo Card and what are the benefits?
The Nexo Card is a natural extension of our Instant Crypto Credit Lines, allowing you to make everyday purchases on the go without having to sell your valuable crypto.
Put simply, Nexo gives you fiat you can spend and in return, you provide crypto as security for repayment – and all this is done in the background whenever you make a purchase with your card. You can buy anything you like with your card, just as you can with any other international card but at better terms.
As soon as you get your Nexo Card, you’ll start earning instant crypto rewards on every transaction, paid out in Bitcoin (up to 0.5% back) or NEXO Tokens (up to 2% back) – with the option to change your reward currency at any time, as often as you like.
And there are even more benefits for you to enjoy:
- Accepted by 90M+ merchants worldwide
- No minimum monthly repayments
- No monthly, annual, or inactivity fees
- No FX fees for up to €20,000 per month
- Up to €10,000 in monthly ATM withdrawals
- Up to 10 free withdrawals per month
- Free additional virtual cards
- Freeze and unfreeze your Nexo Card from our mobile app with a single tap
- Monitor all your transactions in real-time and full detail
- View your PIN and change it at any time if needed
You’ll be able to activate your virtual Nexo Card immediately and order a physical one that will arrive in due time. Once connected to Apple Pay or Google Pay, the virtual card functions just like the physical one – with the added benefit that you can’t lose it or have it stolen out of your pocket or purse.
