Bitstore Card allows you to pay with cryptocurrencies directly – in stores, online, and at ATMs. Fast, simple, and hassle-free.
Last week, we visited the team at Bitcoin Store, one of the leading cryptocurrency trading platforms in Croatia. They introduced a new product – the Bitstore Card Visa debit card.
We had a pleasant and informative conversation with Tomislav Vajić, CEO, and Melani Grubić Mikulić, who is responsible for content marketing.
The Bitstore Card debit card is a solution that enables easier and more practical use of crypto assets in everyday situations – from in-store payments to online shopping and cash withdrawals.
With the Bitstore Card, users of the popular Bitcoin Store platform will be able to use their Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, or other cryptocurrencies to pay at all merchant locations and ATMs that accept Visa cards.
The Bitstore Card debit card allows simple and immediate use of cryptocurrencies for payments, without the need to first convert cryptocurrencies into traditional fiat currency.
Each transaction is processed instantly at the time of payment – the amount in the selected cryptocurrency is automatically converted and used, whether it’s for in-store payments, online purchases, or cash withdrawals at ATMs. The payment process is fast and convenient. No long waits, extra steps, or manual transfers of funds from a crypto wallet to a bank account.
Funds are always available and ready for use, meaning cryptocurrencies can be used as easily as any other form of digital payment.
Users can determine how their cryptocurrencies will be spent. Through the Bitcoin Store Wallet mobile app, it’s possible to set a spending order in advance – for example, choose to spend a specific cryptocurrency first, and only after that, another one.
This option allows better control over spending and customization to personal financial preferences. Through the Bitcoin Store Wallet app, all transactions can be tracked in real-time, cryptocurrencies can be exchanged as needed, and spending limits can be set.
“We wanted to provide users with additional flexibility and the ability to use their funds in a simpler and more efficient way, enabling them to make cryptocurrencies a part of their daily lives in the way that best suits their needs,” says Tomislav Vajić.
The Bitstore Card comes in two versions – virtual and physical – to provide maximum flexibility and adapt to users’ payment habits.
The virtual card can be activated in just a few steps via the app or web platform. It enables contactless payments by integrating with popular services like Google Pay, allowing users to pay directly from their mobile devices.
The physical card with contactless technology allows for easy payments at merchant locations and cash withdrawals at ATMs worldwide. It’s practical for users who prefer a physical card or use it at locations where contactless mobile payments aren’t available.
The card can be ordered through the official website or the Bitcoin Store Wallet app. Existing users of the Bitcoin Store platform can log into their account, while new users can easily create an account in a few steps. After logging in, users can select their preferred card type – virtual or physical.
The virtual card will be available for activation immediately after ordering and can be used for contactless payments and online purchases.
On the other hand, the physical card will be sent to the user’s home address within a few days. Once the ordering process is completed, the user will receive all necessary information regarding activation and card usage via email or within the app.
Bitcoin Store’s debit cards represent a logical step forward in the development of a domestic platform that has been working for years to bring cryptocurrencies closer to the general public. As part of the company Digital Assets d.o.o., which is regulated by the Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (HANFA), Bitcoin Store continuously develops solutions that simplify the everyday management of digital currencies.
With physical branches in several cities and intuitive digital platforms, Bitcoin Store provides users with an easy way to buy, sell, and store cryptocurrencies. The launch of crypto debit cards is a significant step toward enabling broader and more practical use of cryptocurrencies in daily life.
