What is the 1inch Card?
The 1inch Card is a prepaid Mastercard powered by Crypto Life (CL), developed in partnership with Baanx and issued by Monavate. It is integrated with the 1inch ecosystem and lets eligible users spend crypto for online purchases, in-store transactions and ATM withdrawals wherever Mastercard is accepted. Crypto is converted into fiat automatically at the point of purchase, and the card supports contactless payments, Apple Pay and Google Pay. 1inch advertises up to 2% crypto rewards and crypto-backed borrowing, although credit features are not available in every country.
Within Europe the card competes with the Bitpanda Card, another European debit card funded from a platform balance, and the Bleap Card, which is non-custodial rather than prepaid, See how they differ on rewards, fees and FX in the crypto cards directory.
Current application status
Applications are open in eligible countries, primarily within the European Union. Applicants must reside in a supported region and meet the card’s onboarding and eligibility requirements — this is not a globally available card. Where the card can be used is much wider than where it can be applied for.
How spending works
- Hold a supported cryptocurrency in the linked account.
- Pay online, in store or at an ATM with the card.
- 1inch / Crypto Life converts the required crypto into fiat at the moment of the transaction.
- The merchant receives a normal Mastercard card payment.
Conversion happens at the point of purchase or withdrawal rather than in advance. Because spending triggers a crypto-to-fiat conversion, it may also be treated as a disposal for tax purposes depending on your country — check your local rules or a tax adviser.
Fees
The current public 1inch Card pages do not clearly publish a complete fee schedule. Third-party sites circulate figures such as no annual fee, 0% FX, a crypto conversion fee and an ATM fee, but these are not officially verified and are not published here as Bitnxt facts. Fee types that can apply to this card include virtual and physical card issuance, monthly and annual card fees, crypto conversion, foreign exchange, ATM withdrawal, card replacement and inactivity. Always confirm the applicable fees in the card terms during onboarding.
