Crypto.com & Apple Pay/ Google Pay /Samsung Pay (EEA countries only)

Hey Guys, I bet many of you want to have your favourite crypto.com card added in Apple pay. Unfortunately the card does not support it yet in Europe, but there is a solution for this. The answer is Curve Card 

Curve (also known as the Curve card) is a payment card that aggregates multiple payment cards through its accompanying mobile app, allowing a user to make payments and withdrawals from a single card. It lets you "switch the bank card you paid with after each transaction is complete."  As soon as you sign up to Curve, you get a virtual card, which can be added to Apple Pay/ Google Pay/ Samsung Pay. That means you can earn your CRO cash back straight away!
The card is free of charge, however there are monthly spending limits, which only apply when you spend in different currency ( for example you are in UK, but you spend in EUR)
What is the best about the card is that you can add your virtual crypto.com card to the wallet and you can start spending straight away. You don't have to wait for the physical card to arrive. But he most importantly,  when you spend through Curve, you earn your CRO cashback!! ( it depends on the  merchant, but you will get it for your groceries).

To sign up for the Cruve card, follow the below link and you will get 5 GBP for joining: 

If you still don't have the Crypto.com card, follow the below link to get $25 for joining( you need to stake CRO for RUBY card at least:

As you probably have already Crypto.com card, follow below steps to get the Curve card.
I suggest choosing Curve blue card, as this one is free of charge.

1. Download the app and sign up:


When you sign up, you need to add your Crypto.com Card to Curve App. 
2. Go to crypto.com app and write down your card number details:
3. Go back to your curve app and click add new card
4. Add your card details
5. Click next and verify card 


6. You need to have some cash in your crypto.com card for verification. Curve needs to check if you are the owner of this card
If everything works , your card will be verified and you can use it straight away.
7. To use the card you need to click on it and it will be selected as a main card to use:

The app will add a Curve logo in the card , which means that this is your chosen card for spending.

8. Depending what currency you are using, you can change the currency of Curve card. I suggest to use the currency of a country you live and spend your money. For example I am based in Poland and therefore I've chosen PLN as my base currency. I have compared the FX rates and crypto.com has competitive rates, so it's better that crypto.com translates your currency to the one you have in your wallet. To change a currency you need to click on "crypto com" as market below and select the currency you want. You can do it multiple times:

After finished click Done. Now you can start spending and enjoy your Crypto.com card and CRO cashback with physical curve card.

The next step is to add your Curve card to Apple Pay / Samsung Pay/ Google Pay. I won't be writing how to do that as there are many instructions how to do it online.

When you buy anything with Curve card, the curve will charge the card which is selected at the moment by you. There is even a better feature. You can go back 90 days in time and change the card which you used for a payment and charge another card which is in your wallet. That means that if you don't get a cashback , you can reverse transaction from Crypto.com and charge for example your credit card. Isn't that awesome?

Please see below confirmation that the Cashback is earned with Curve. All Curve transactions have "CRV" prefix. Below are my groceries from Lidl.
