AUD & NZD are now available on Crypto.com App

On July 5th 2020, the Crypto.com App added support for AUD & NZD as its latest payment currencies.

If you don’t know, the debit card by crypto.com allows you to spend your cryptos anywhere that accepts VISA or EFTPOS. I’ve been using it for months now and it’s been great! See my review of the MCO Bitcoin VISA Debit Card by Crypto.com.

The main benefits of using AUD being:

• You can now view App balances in AUD (previously most Aussies had this set to SGD or USD.
• You can purchase cryptocurrency directly with your credit card in AUD to save money on exchange rates that card issuers would otherwise charge you.

So far the full list of supported fiat currencies are AUD, NZD, USD, GBP, EUR, SGD and CAD.

For existing card users > How to change to AUD

1. Open your mobile app
2. Go to Settings (top left cog)
3. Select payment currency > AUD

Your balance should now show in AUD.

Note: your MCO card screen will still show in SGD or USD. I’m not sure why you can’t change the card currency to AUD. Maybe this is something they will add soon. It doesn’t matter much as when you use the card it uses AUD then any other currency you have an active balance.
