Card Usage
Ribbit will issue a payment card that is directly linked to the user’s wallet balance. This card will allow users to spend their stablecoins at any merchant that accepts Visa or Mastercard. It brings crypto into everyday spending, letting users pay for both online and offline purchases with the same ease as a regular debit card.
Users can request a virtual card for instant online use. This is useful for e-commerce, subscriptions, and mobile services. Those who prefer physical spending can order a physical card that works at retail stores, restaurants, or ATMs.
The card will draw funds from the user’s USDC or other supported stablecoins. Ribbit will handle real-time conversion from crypto to fiat using regulated off-ramp partners. The user sees the amount in their local currency at checkout, while the crypto balance adjusts automatically in the app.
All card activity will be tracked inside the Ribbit dashboard. Users can view recent transactions, check spending limits, and receive alerts for each payment. The app will also allow controls such as:
Freezing or unfreezing the card
Setting daily or monthly spending limits
Managing which wallets are linked to the card
No separate apps or transfers are needed. Everything works from within Ribbit.
By introducing payment cards, Ribbit gives users a smooth and reliable way to spend their digital assets. It removes the technical steps that usually make crypto hard to use and brings the entire experience closer to what users already know and expect from a modern financial app.
