Navigating the world of cryptocurrency payments has never been easier. The CoinZoom Crypto Debit Card offers a seamless bridge between your digital assets and everyday spending, allowing you to use crypto at millions of locations worldwide. This guide covers everything you need to know, from activation to optimizing rewards.
How the CoinZoom Crypto Debit Card Works
The CoinZoom Crypto Debit Card enables you to make payments using cryptocurrency at over 130 million global locations. It automatically converts your selected digital currency into fiat at the point of sale, making transactions smooth and instantaneous.
Before making a purchase, you must select which cryptocurrency wallet or USD balance to use. During the transaction, the system checks for sufficient funds in that wallet. If available, a market order executes immediately to convert the crypto to fiat, authorizing the payment.
If funds are insufficient, the transaction will decline. You can then switch to a different funded wallet via the app. Note that some merchants, like restaurants or gas stations, may place temporary pre-authorization holds which adjust once the final amount is settled.
Getting Your Physical Card
To order a physical card, your account must hold at least $10 worth of ZOOM tokens. Once funded, follow these steps:
- Log into your CoinZoom account.
- Navigate to the "Spend" section (or "Portfolio -> Spend Wallet" on web).
- Select "Order Card" and choose your shipping option.
Standard shipping is free, with delivery typically taking 3–10 business days. Express shipping is available for an additional fee.

Activating and Setting Up Your Card
Once your physical card arrives, activate it through the app or website:
- Mobile: Go to Spend → Physical Card → Activate.
- Web: Portfolio → Spend Wallet → Gear Icon → Activate.
You will need the three-digit CVV from the back of the card. The default PIN is set to the last four digits of your registered phone number—change this immediately after activation for security.
To start spending, select which cryptocurrency wallet you want to use for transactions. This can be adjusted anytime within the app.
Understanding Fees and Limits
The CoinZoom Crypto Debit Card has no issuance cost for virtual or physical cards, though shipping fees apply for physical delivery. Transaction fees and spending limits vary based on your membership level in the CoinZoom Prime Rewards program.
Always account for potential fees, such as foreign exchange costs. For transactions in other currencies, Visa applies its standard exchange rates. You can check these rates directly on Visa’s official website.
Rewards and Membership Tiers
CoinZoom Prime Rewards offers tiered benefits based on your ZOOM token holdings. Levels include Green (non-Prime), Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Black. Higher tiers provide greater cashback rewards—from 0.5% up to 5%—on card purchases, plus reduced trading fees.
Your Prime level is determined by the amount of ZOOM held in your account. This program is designed to incentivize long-term engagement and higher usage of the CoinZoom ecosystem.
Security and Liability
CoinZoom partners with Visa to offer Zero Liability Protection, ensuring you are not held responsible for unauthorized transactions made without your PIN. If your card is lost or stolen, report it immediately through the app or website to prevent fraudulent activity.
Virtual card details are masked by default in the app for security. You can reveal them temporarily when needed for online purchases.
