From your wallet to the world: Bitget Wallet Card launches in Africa
Promotion
If you've ever tried sending money across borders in Africa, you should be no stranger to high fees, unpredictable exchange rates, and payment systems that weren't built for how we move money today. Stablecoins have gone a long way toward solving the storage and transfer side of that problem, but spending them seamlessly in everyday life – not so easy.
That's what the Bitget Wallet Card is designed for. The good news?
We're coming to Africa. Our first stop: South Africa.
Powered by Mastercard and Immersve, the USD card lets you
spend directly from your self-custodial wallet – on groceries, travel, subscriptions, or whatever your day calls for – at millions of merchants worldwide. Your USD is converted at the point of sale, so what you see is what you spend. No hidden charges, no exorbitant FX rates.
A card built for real-world spending
The Bitget Wallet Card is a
USD virtual card that lives in your Bitget Wallet app. This means you can spend in USD wherever you are, and skip the foreign exchange fees that usually come with cross-border payments. To get started, simply:
-
Download the Bitget Wallet app
-
Apply for the card
-
Top up with USDC
-
Add to Apply Pay, Google Pay, or your preferred payment app
-
Spend at any Mastercard merchant worldwide – it's that simple
Earn 8% cashback on groceries and dining

May 6 to June 30, 2025 (SAST), you can use your Bitget Wallet Card in
South Africa for groceries and dining and
