TechFlow News, March 4: According to an official announcement from Bitget Wallet, Bitget Wallet has partnered with Mastercard to launch its cryptocurrency payment card across 11 Latin American countries, offering local users a zero-fee, USD-denominated payment experience. Building upon its earlier rollout in Brazil, this expansion now covers key markets including Argentina, Mexico, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Uruguay, and Paraguay.
The Bitget Wallet Card enables users to spend stablecoins directly within the wallet for USD-denominated purchases. Within the user’s monthly spending limit, the card applies a zero-fee structure—eliminating top-up fees, foreign exchange fees, conversion fees, and annual fees. Settlement rates are aligned with Google’s real-time exchange rates. Compared to traditional bank cards, the Bitget Wallet Card helps users save approximately 1.7% in hidden payment costs. The card supports Apple Pay and Google Pay and can be used at any merchant accepting Mastercard globally.
Bitget Wallet stated that this expansion represents a critical component of its broader payment strategy, marking the official entry of the Bitget Wallet Card into a wider range of core Latin American markets. By reducing hidden fees and exchange-rate friction associated with everyday stablecoin payments, the card aims to drive real-world adoption of cryptocurrency payments in daily consumer scenarios.
