Decentralized exchange aggregator 1inch has unveiled a crypto debit card, which will enable crypto users for online and in-person purchases. The card is powered by payments giant Mastercard and developed in partnership with Baanx.

Per the announcement on Monday, the 1inch Crypto Card will allow users to make seamless cash withdrawals at supported ATMs through crypto-to-fiat conversion.

“This is another major step towards onboarding mass users to DeFi,” said Sergej Kunz, 1inch co-founder.

“With the 1inch Card, the user can benefit from the advantages of both DeFi and traditional finance.”

Further, the 1inch card is issued by Baanx’s ‘Crypto Life’ card, which is also used by crypto storage firm Ledger. In addition to providing seamless crypto-fiat conversion, the 1inch crypto card comes in both physical and virtual forms.

“Baanx is pleased to integrate the Crypto Life Card into the 1inch user ecosystem in partnership with Mastercard and looks forward to a successful partnership,” Simon Jones, CCO, Baanx and Crypto Life noted.

Like normal debit cards, these crypto cards will carry a number, validity date and CVC, for day-to-day transactions. When a payment is made, the cryptos get converted to fiat immediately in a fast and secure manner, enabling users to pay for goods and services using fiat, the company noted.

Additionally, card holders can withdraw cash with a physical or digital 1inch Card at any ATM that accepts Mastercard worldwide.

“Leveraging Mastercard’s leading technology and standards, the 1inch Card is connecting Web2 and Web3 worlds in an innovative way,” said Christian Rau, senior VP of crypto at Mastercard.
