Crypto exchange FTX is set to begin offering Visa debit cards to its customers internationally as part of an expansion to its global partnership with the payments giant.
Debit cards linked to a user’s FTX accounts are currently available in the US, as the company now intends to launch the offering in 40 more countries.
The exchange plans to roll out the FTX Card in Latin America before bringing it to Europe and Asia.
This card allows users to make use of their FTX crypto balances 24 hours a day, 365 days a year securely and with no administrative or processing fees.
Visa revealed in July 2021 it was partnering with 50 crypto platforms on card programs that allow users to convert and spend digital currency at 70 million merchants.
FTX competitor Coinbase launched a Visa debit card linked to crypto accounts for users in the United Kingdom and European Union in 2019 and rolled it out to US customers earlier this year.
Gemini inked a similar partnership with MasterCard in April 2021, to offer credit cards which allow customers to spend US dollars and earn cashback in their crypto of choice. But Gemini does not yet allow a customer’s exchange balance to be used to pay the monthly credit card balance.
Visa executives said in January that customers made $2.5 billion in payments with its crypto-linked cards in its fiscal first quarter of 2022. The payments company launched a crypto advisory practice last December and a program for NFT-focused entrepreneurs in March.
Cardholders will be able to use a crypto balance to fund purchases anywhere Visa is accepted. Crypto held within a user’s FTX account will automatically exchange the exact amount at the point of sale, according to the company.
