The card is available in both physical and virtual forms, allowing users to make purchases wherever Visa is accepted.
The main feature of the Avalanche card is its connection to self-custodial wallets. Each user has a unique address for each asset, ensuring security and control over their funds.
Additionally, user activity on the card is not reported to credit bureaus, providing a level of privacy that traditional credit cards do not provide.
It’s important to remember that the Avalanche card is issued by Rain Liquidity, a financial technology services provider rather than a traditional bank, and therefore is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
Initially, the Avalanche card will be available to residents of Latin American and Caribbean countries. However, residents of certain regions such as Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea are excluded from membership.
One notable advantage of the Avalanche card is that there are no spending fees. However, we recommend that you review the full terms and conditions regarding applicable service fees.
As the cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, the Avalanche Card represents an important milestone in providing users with a practical and secure way to utilize digital assets in their everyday transactions.
