If you hold Bitcoin, USDT or other coins and need a card for online payments, you can buy VCC with crypto on Vizovcc. You add crypto to your account balance first, then use that balance to buy a prepaid virtual Visa, Mastercard, American Express or local-currency card. Many people search for this as a prepaid crypto card. To be clear about how it works: you pay with crypto, and the card itself is a regular prepaid card that spends the balance loaded onto it.
Who this is for
- Crypto holders who want a card for online stores and services, paid for from the coins they already hold.
- Freelancers and remote workers paid in USDT or Bitcoin who need a card for software, hosting or other online tools.
- Online shoppers who prefer a separate card for subscriptions and one-off purchases, kept apart from their main bank card.
- Buyers who need a local-currency card, such as a Japanese, Turkish Lira or Argentine Peso card, and want to pay for it from the same crypto balance.
How to buy VCC with crypto on Vizovcc
- Create an account. Sign up on the site and log in to your dashboard.
- Add balance with a crypto deposit. Open the deposit page, choose a coin such as Bitcoin or USDT, and send it to the address shown. The amount appears in your balance once the deposit is credited.
- Choose a card. Open the page of the card you want, for example the Mastercard Reloadable Classic. The card page shows the current price and explains how it is split: part is our card issue charge, and the rest is loaded onto the card as balance for your online spending.
- Buy it from your balance. Confirm the purchase on the card page. The price is taken from your account balance.
- Get your card details. The card number, expiry date and CVV appear in your dashboard once the card is ready. Some cards are ready when the purchase completes, while others are prepared by our team after purchase, so check your dashboard for the card's status.
- Pay online. Enter the card details at checkout with merchants that accept prepaid cards. You can freeze the card from your dashboard when you are not using it and unfreeze it when you need it again.

Tips for paying for a card with crypto
- Use the right network. Some coins, USDT among them, exist on more than one network. Send on the network shown on the deposit page and copy the address rather than typing it. Crypto sent to the wrong network or address usually cannot be recovered.
- Allow for exchange fees. If you send from an exchange, it may deduct a withdrawal fee from the amount, so make sure what arrives covers the card price.
- Pick the card for where you shop. If you were looking for a crypto card for Japan, look at the Japanese cards in our card list, since a local-currency card can suit local shops better. For international websites, a general-purpose card such as the Mastercard Reloadable Classic is a sensible place to start.
- Check the balance before checkout. A merchant may decline a payment that is larger than the card balance, so leave room for taxes or currency conversion.
- Freeze the card between uses. Freezing it from your dashboard helps prevent unexpected charges on a card you only use now and then.
- Keep card details private. Enter the number, expiry date and CVV only on checkout pages you trust, and never send them in a chat or email.
What to do if a payment is declined
Each card is meant for merchants that accept prepaid cards on its network, such as Visa, Mastercard or American Express, but any platform can decline a prepaid card, and some do not accept prepaid cards at all. Before you try again, check the following:
- The card is not frozen in your dashboard.
- The card number, expiry date and CVV are entered exactly as shown.
- The card balance covers the full amount, including any tax or currency conversion.
- The card suits the merchant, for example a local-currency card for a local shop.
Avoid retrying the same payment many times in a row, as repeated attempts can lead a merchant to block further tries. If the payment still fails, contact our support team through live chat on the site, or on WhatsApp, Telegram or email from our Contact page. Let us know which card you paid with, where you tried to use it and what the checkout page said, and the team will go through it with you.
