Crypto users across the European Economic Area• Объект организация » Организации по алфавиту » Организации на Ев » Европейская экономическая зона (EEA) looking to convert and
spend their digital assets are in luck, with Gate Group’s Visa-backed debit
card offering a “seamless” way to integrate cryptocurrency• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта holdings with
everyday transactions for most EEA users.
Operating entirely in euros across the global Visa network, the Gate Group
card offers more than a few benefits for crypto holders.
Over 2,500 cryptocurrencies• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта supported
For starters, Gate Group has implemented a comprehensive reward structure
designed to encourage regular usage. Cardholders receive 1% USDT cashback on
all transactions, while new users benefit from doubled rewards in their first
month.
The program extends beyond basic purchases, too—travelers can earn up to 7%
cashback on hotel reservations and 2% cashback on flight bookings through the
Gate Travel platform. The card also integrates seamlessly with Google Pay for
convenient contactless payments, enhancing the user experience at millions of
locations globally.
The card also integrates with Gate Group’s existing infrastructure. Through
the platform's Flashswap feature, cardholders can top up their cards
using a variety of different cryptocurrencies• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта including Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin and Ethereum• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Ethereum,
while Gate Connect facilitates direct crypto purchases with nearly 100 fiat
currencies.
Users spending over €300 monthly will also automatically unlock the Gate VIP
tier, enabling them to access an exclusive tier of benefits. This premium
status brings reduced trading fees, preferential borrowing rates, and
increased allocation in startup airdrops. The program rewards regular usage
while providing tangible benefits for crypto enthusiasts and traders alike,
creating a comprehensive ecosystem of advantages for cardholders.
"Seamless" integration and accessibility
Gate Group has prioritized accessibility in the card's design, offering
both virtual and physical options for users. Virtual cards become available
immediately upon approval, handily enabling instant transactions for those who
don’t want to wait. The physical cards are then delivered within 7–45 days.
Both the virtual and physical cards operate from the same account, ensuring
consistent access to funds, and the virtual card carries no monthly, annual,
or application fees. European transactions are also exempt from foreign
exchange charges.
A future-ready solution
The application process reflects current financial regulations, requiring EEA
residents to complete full KYC verification through Gate Group's
platform. This includes identity documentation and a liveness check to confirm
user authenticity. Each Gate Group account is restricted to one card, with
separate accounts required for additional family member cards.
Gate Group has also implemented customer protection measures, including a
45-day reissue policy for delayed physical cards. Looking ahead, Gate Group
has confirmed plans to expand the card's availability beyond the EEA, in
a bid to drive the global integration of traditional payment infrastructure
with digital asset capabilities, and address the growing demand for flexible
crypto-to-fiat payment solutions.
