Get Bringin CardCard Overview
Bringin Card is a self-custody Bitcoin Visa for the EEA: your BTC stays in your own wallet — on-chain or Lightning — until it converts to euros at the moment of spending, with 0% FX on foreign purchases. Every account gets a personal virtual IBAN with free SEPA deposits, and the whole issuing stack is disclosed, from Wallester AS as card issuer to OpenPayd for e-money rails. A MiCA-authorized CASP runs the show.
This is a Visa crypto card. It uses a self-custody model. Available to US residents. Available in Europe.
