Today marks a major milestone in SwissBorg’s journey to bring crypto into everyday life by uniting seamlessly with traditional finance.
We’re proud to announce our official partnership with Mastercard for the forthcoming SwissBorg Card - a crypto debit card that lets you spend your digital assets at more than 150 million Mastercard accepting locations worldwide.
This is more than a card. It’s a new way to connect your crypto with the real world, built directly into the SwissBorg app.
The virtual card rollout will start in Q1 ’26 to 30 countries* - including the EEA, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland.
Spending Your Crypto Has Never Been Easier
Powered by the SwissBorg Meta-Exchange (MEX)
Every time you make a payment with your SwissBorg Card, your chosen crypto is converted to fiat in real time.
But Here’s the Magic: Your conversion happens via the SwissBorg Meta-Exchange, our smart aggregator that searches across 30+ centralised exchanges, decentralised exchanges, and multiple blockchains to secure the most efficient route.
In simple terms:
When you pay, the MEX works to save you money. Automatically.
You choose your primary spending asset - BORG, BTC, ETH, SOL, or a stablecoin, EURC, USDC, USDG, VEUR, VCHF, or VGBP (depending on local availability) - and have the option to select backup assets that the app can use to fulfill the payment if your primary balance is too low.
Transactions settle by default in your base currency (CHF, GBP, or EUR), depending on your country of residence.
Paid to Spend
Up to 90% Cashback in Borg - Real Rewards
Every transaction you make generates a small exchange fee from the crypto-to-fiat conversion. And just like with SwissBorg “Paid to Trade,” a portion of that fee comes straight back to you in BORG.
- Up to 90% cashback depending on your Loyalty Rank
- BORG rewards are bought back from the open market, creating consistent buy pressure
- As you accumulate cashback, you climb the Loyalty Ranks, unlocking boosted yields, airdrops, special earn strategies, and exclusive Alpha opportunities
With the SwissBorg Card, every payment moves you forward in the ecosystem.
Your Spending. Your Rules.
Total Control in a Single App
The SwissBorg Card is fully integrated into the SwissBorg app via an intuitive new interface where you can:
- Choose and reorder spending assets
- Freeze or unfreeze your card instantly
- Block the card immediately in case of loss, theft or fraud
- Track spending and see real-time conversions
- Add to Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Curve (where supported)
Every feature is built for clarity, safety, and absolute control.
Online payments are protected with 3D Secure, ensuring an extra layer of safety for e-commerce transactions.
A Practical Use Case for Digital Assets
“The introduction of the SwissBorg Card is a big step in bridging crypto with real life experiences. We believe everyone should be free to spend the wealth they create in a seamless, simple way.”
Cyrus Fazel, Co-Founder and CEO of SwissBorg.
For years, crypto cards have existed - but very few offer a genuine advantage to users. The SwissBorg Card will be unique by combining:
- The routing power of the Meta-Exchange
- A real economic model that rewards spending
- An ecosystem where the BORG token sits at the centre
What Comes Next
The first release will come as a virtual card, rolled out during Q1 ’26 across Europe. Make sure you join the waitlist here to be amongst the first to receive it.
As previously promised, first priority will be given to eligible Series A investors and they have been included on the list by default.
Next up:
- Additional features, including rewards, perks and real-life experiences
- Physical cards
- Deeper integrations across the SwissBorg ecosystem
And much more! This is just the beginning.
