Accepted at millions of locations, KuCard empowers users to utilize their cryptocurrency for everyday purchases, online shopping, or even withdraw cash at ATMs. KuCard simplifies the process of converting and spending cryptocurrency, eliminating the complexities of transactions or conversions typically associated with digital assets.

In this first phase of the launch, KuCard will be exclusively available to residents of the European Economic Area (EEA), while a global launch is on the roadmap. To be eligible, users need to pass identity verification using a supported EEA-issued ID card. Users can immediately start using virtual KuCard for purchases after their applications are approved, and physical KuCard is available upon ordering. KuCard currently supports USDT and EUR.
