#TapAndPayWithGateCard
Gate Card is a Visa crypto debit card that lets you spend digital assets (USDT, BTC, ETH, GT, and more) directly at over 90 million merchants worldwide, online, in-store, and at ATMs. No manual conversion is required; the card handles the crypto-to-fiat conversion at the time of purchase.
You can get an instant virtual card or a physical card delivered within 3-5 business days, and it integrates with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. There's also up to 5% BTC cashback on every purchase.
Merchant Services (Gate Pay) — If you're a business owner, you can apply to become a Gate Pay merchant to accept crypto payments from customers. This covers the entire process, from application to checking your merchant account balance and transaction records.
Wallet and Balance — I can check your exchange account balances (spot, trading, etc.) so you know what funds are available for card spending. Your Gate Card balance is directly linked to your Gate exchange account, so whatever you hold there is whatever you can spend.
Gift cards — You can create crypto gift cards in BTC, ETH, USDT, and other supported currencies to send to friends and family or to use a gift card you've received.
