The Nexo Card is a dual-mode crypto card on the Mastercard network issued by Nexo, the digital assets wealth platform that has been operating since 2018 and now manages over $7 billion in assets. The card is unique in letting cardholders switch between Credit Mode and Debit Mode with a single tap inside the Nexo app — making it both a crypto debit card and a crypto credit card in one.
In Credit Mode, you borrow against your deposited crypto via a Nexo Credit Line (interest starting from 1.9% APR) so you can spend without selling. Your crypto stays deposited and continues earning interest while serving as collateral, and you earn up to 2% crypto cashback on every purchase. Repayment is fully flexible — no fixed schedule, no credit checks.
In Debit Mode, you spend your digital assets directly: stablecoins, crypto and FiatX assets like EURx, USDx and GBPx. You can prioritise which assets to spend first with a simple drag-and-drop, and Nexo handles the crypto-to-fiat conversion at the moment of purchase.
Both modes are accepted at over 100 million merchants globally wherever Mastercard is accepted. The card supports Apple Pay and Google Pay for tap-to-pay, offers up to €2,000 / £1,800 in free ATM withdrawals per month, and charges no monthly, annual or inactivity card fees. The virtual card is activated instantly — no waiting for delivery.
Integrated with the Nexo ecosystem
As a Nexo product, the card plugs directly into the broader Nexo wealth platform:
- Flexible Savings — earn up to 13% APY on your unspent balance, paid out daily.
- Credit Line — borrow against your crypto without selling.
- Exchange — swap over 100 digital assets with a tap.
- Loyalty Program — portfolio balance above $5,000 unlocks cashback, lower borrowing rates and free ATM perks; higher tiers available for NEXO token holders. New users get Nexo's Platinum tier on arrival for 30 days.
- Nexo Private — clients with $100,000 in assets access higher card spending limits, custom terms and a dedicated relationship manager.
Track record & security
Nexo is one of the longest-running digital asset lending platforms, having operated since 2018 with $7+ billion in assets under management and 24/7 personalized client care. Industry-grade custody, instant card freezes, security spending controls and biometic locks keep the card experience smooth and secure. Multiple industry awards include Digital Banker, Fintech Breakthrough 2024 & 2025, and INATBA 2025 recognitions.
Nexo is unusual in offering a credit mode that borrows against your holdings, so the closest comparisons are the ether.fi Cash Card and the Kraken Card for European holders who want to spend without selling. Both feature in our Best Crypto Cards round-up.
