Paycent Card Review – Is Paycent the best crypto card?

Overview

The Paycent app offers a Visa card that serves as a bridge between fiat and digital assets. The card can only support bitcoin at the moment but at the pace innovation is taking place, you can be sure that the app will soon be supporting other cryptocurrencies. When it comes to fiat currencies, the app supports GBP, USD, and EUR. Most crypto card services are normally not available for use by American investors but with the Paycent card, things are looking up because investors in the United States can use it.

Paycent is working on being a global leader when it comes to mobile and cashless transactions. They have offered two tools, the Paycent app, and the Paycent card to see this vision come true.

Services/Products

The Paycent platform prides itself on being a reliable digital wallet. Apart from the wallet, there is also the Paycent Card. This card allows users to gain access to various blockchain assets and fiat currencies. All this happens in real-time and in a system that adheres to highest security standards known.

Users can opt for the physical or virtual card. The card is powered by the Paycent wallet and can be loaded using bitcoin, ethereum, ERC20, Dash and many more digital assets. You can use cash deposit machines and kiosks to load your Paycent wallet.

The Paycent app runs on a decentralized platform which translates to a seamless exchange of assets between users and businesses. This also mitigates the risk of fraud. The conversion of digital assets to fiat is automatic. The user can convert all their blockchain assets into Paycent tokens, PYT, and vice versa.

The virtual card and the multi-currency wallet are simultaneously created while the physical card should be ordered from the app. The mobile wallet users can send their digital assets through the Paycent app to other Paycent app users for free and in real-time.
