For Scandinavian residents, selecting a local credit card provider may be wise. With several companies in the market offering crypto cards, one newcomer stands out due to its unique features - the NBX Visa credit card. This card allows users to receive cashback rewards in bitcoin, the world's most popular cryptocurrency.

What is a crypto card, and how does it work?

With the advent of cryptocurrency, users can now obtain a crypto card from licensed issuers like banks, financial institutions, and crypto exchanges. These cards are available in two types: debit and credit. A prepaid crypto card operates similarly to a debit card in that you must load it with cryptocurrency before using it for purchases. On the other hand, crypto credit cards are similar to regular credit cards. Still, they offer rewards in the form of cryptocurrency. You can even pay your credit card bills with fiat currency while earning crypto bonuses on your spending.

Although crypto cards offer convenience and exciting rewards, they are not risk-free. The value of funds on the card can still be subject to market fluctuations, and transactions using the card may be subjected to fees. Nonetheless, crypto cards provide an easy and practical way for users to make purchases and earn crypto rewards at millions of locations worldwide, bridging the gap between fiat and cryptocurrency economies.

What is an NBX Visa credit card?

NBX Visa credit card is the first in the Nordic market to offer cashback in bitcoin. It is a unique product available to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland residents who are also NBX customers. Not only is the NBX Visa credit card appealing due to its rewards in bitcoin, but it also functions like a typical credit card. Users must undergo a credit check to obtain it, which can be used to purchase at millions of locations worldwide. Additionally, the card is available in virtual and physical formats, making it convenient for users to use for online and in-person transactions. NBX Visa credit cards do not use crypto for transactions.
