Altitude Card

What the Altitude Card is

Altitude is a global operating account for businesses rather than a consumer wallet. The card is its spending layer: every card draws from your company's Altitude balance, which is held in stablecoins inside a smart account controlled by your organisation. USD and EUR accounts can be opened from 150+ countries without a US entity.

Who it is for

Startups, scale-ups and remote-first companies that pay suppliers, contractors and staff across borders. Cards go to team members as virtual cards, so nobody waits for plastic to arrive and no card is wasted on someone who does not need it.

How spending works

Any team member can be issued a virtual Visa Signature Corporate card the moment they need one. Card number, expiry and CVV are available instantly and the card can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Spend is funded straight from the operating balance and cashback lands back in the Altitude account automatically — no points portal and no conversion step.

Where it works

Accounts are offered in 150+ countries, with local payment rails live in the UK, Mexico, Brazil and Colombia alongside ACH, wire, SWIFT, SEPA, Faster Payments and Pix. Card acceptance follows Visa worldwide.

Altitude is a business product rather than a consumer wallet, which puts it alongside the Brex card — the other corporate programme in this directory — and the issuing infrastructure behind many exchange cards, Swipe. Companies weighing a stablecoin-funded operating account against a consumer-style card can compare the two approaches in the full crypto cards listing.

Cashback that lands automatically

Cashback is credited to the Altitude account without a rewards portal: 2% on travel, 1.5% on cloud, AI and SaaS, and 1% on everything else. Altitude's own calculator shows a blended rate of roughly 1.45% on $250,000 of annual spend.

Accounting in the same system

Altitude Agent reads transactions, finds the matching receipt and reconciles purchases against your books, so expense management happens inside the account that funds the card.

Stablecoin-based balance

The card does not spend crypto directly. Your business keeps an operating balance denominated in USD and EUR that Altitude holds in stablecoins inside an organisation-controlled smart account, and each card spends from that balance. Rewards in the promotional programme are paid in USDC.

No consumer coin list

There is no list of supported cryptocurrencies because Altitude is not a consumer wallet — it is a business account with banking and stablecoin rails. If you need a card that spends BTC, ETH or a broad basket of tokens, this is not that product.

Card fees

Altitude states there is no per-card fee for issuing virtual cards to team members. A card issuance fee, annual fee or FX markup is not published on the card page.

Cashback rates

• 2% on travel
• 1.5% on cloud, AI and SaaS
• 1% on everything else

Cashback is credited to the Altitude account automatically.

Promotional offer

Altitude's terms describe an invitation-only 4% cashback promotion, capped at $500,000 of eligible spend and a maximum reward of 20,000 USDC across all cards. Because it is invitation-only it cannot be requested.

What is not published

Card-level fees, FX margins and ATM access are not disclosed on the card page. Because the card sits on top of a business account, pricing is typically quoted during onboarding — confirm the full schedule before using it for high-volume spend.
