Coinbase crypto card integrates payments with Apple Pay and Google Pay

The cryptocurrency exchange listed on Nasdaq, Coinbase, announced that its cardholders can pay using the Apple Pay and Google Pay applications from their mobile devices, becoming a fundamental fact of integration between the three most important brands in the United States. This integration expresses the great interest in promoting the adoption of digital currencies in the global economy.

The company reported, through a statement, that during this week they will begin to invite their “selected clients to start earning up to 4 % in cryptocurrency rewards.”

In addition, it pointed out that all selected customers who have approved the debit card in the US can start using it immediately through the Aplee Pay applications, even if they do not have the card in physical form yet.

The configuration of the card can be done by adding your card to the Google Pay application for all Google users, while from Aplee Pay they can add it from the Apple Wallet application or from the Coinbase application

Rewards

Among the benefits of using the Coinbase Visa card, prizes in Bitcoin stand out. US users will receive the return as a reward of 1 % in bitcoin for each purchase, 0.4 % in the cryptocurrency Stellar Lumens (XLM) that will serve to compensate the 2.75 % fee charged by the company for each transactions made with the cryptographic debit card.

Although the prize is less than the rate established as commission for the use of the card, the company established an important exception: “Any transaction they carry out using the stablecoin USDC does not include a fee”. Thus, all customers who make purchases in USDC earn 1 % in bitcoin.

The mix of the rewards service and the usability of the applications could become a major attraction to adopt the cancellation with digital currencies in the United States
