How Does a Crypto Card Work?

by | Sep 18, 2025 | Informational

How does a crypto card work? You can use a crypto card to pay for things online, pay for services, or cover company costs with Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and other digital currencies, exactly like cash. Freelancers and creators can turn their crypto earnings into cash right away with the BitLily Crypto Card.


How Does a Crypto Card Work?

A crypto card operates a lot like a regular debit or credit card, except it doesn’t take money out of your bank account; it takes it directly out of your crypto wallet.

Here’s the process in simple steps:

  1. Load Crypto → You fund your BitLily card with Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, or other supported tokens.
  2. Automatic Conversion → At checkout, the crypto is instantly converted into local currency (like USD, EUR, or NGN).
  3. Seamless Payment → The merchant receives fiat, while you’ve spent crypto. The process is instant, secure, and accepted anywhere Visa/Mastercard is supported.
