How do you sign up and set up an account?

The registration and account opening process can be done online, exclusively through the Crypto.com app (or let them send you a link when signing up through your browser).

Note: Crypto.com App is only compatible with mobile devices.

Issuance of Virtual Card: One is eligible for a virtual card once review of address documents is complete, verified, and accepted. You will be able to use your Crypto.com card immediately, but you will have to wait for your physical card to be shipped to you. 

Luckily, there is a good workaround if you want to start using the Crypto.com card in stores in order to receive your cash back: Simply download the Curve app and add the Crypto.com VISA card to your wallet. Curve is compatible with Apple Pay and Google Pay, so you can start using your Crypto.com card in stores immediately and you even receive 1% cash back through Curve on top of your Crypto.com cash back

Note: After they complete review of the address documents, users in EU/UK and US will receive a virtual card in the App. 

Virtual cards can be used instantly for online spending after top-up via the Crypto.com App.

Acquisition of Physical Card: After downloading the app and completing their KYC verification, select “Card Page” located at the bottom right corner of the app, choose the card tier of your choice and stake the respective CRO equivalent for your card of choice. Be careful to select the correct card tier, because it is not easy to change afterwards. Steps required:

  • Accept their terms and conditions.
  • Your App wallet should have enough CRO, and you need to stake them for a 180 days lock-up period.  
  • Submit & confirm your delivery address.

Important: Crypto.com App users have to own CRO tokens and stake them for 180 days. Staking means that you deposit those CRO tokens in a locked up wallet in the CRO app and cannot sell them during these 180 days. However, you still earn weekly interest on them.
