CoinJar Launches Australia’s First Cryptocurrency Mastercard

MEDIA RELEASE: Melbourne, August 3, 2021: CoinJar, Australia’s longest-running cryptocurrency exchange, is thrilled to announce the launch of CoinJar Card, a fully-featured Mastercard that lets customers spend their cryptocurrency like cash, wherever Mastercard is accepted.

Available as a physical and digital card, with both Apple Pay and Google Pay integration, CoinJar Card works with 30 different cryptocurrencies and boasts no ongoing fees and a low 1% conversion rate – returned to customers via an in-house rewards program.

CoinJar Card is the next step in our mission to make crypto both accessible and useful, to everyone, every day.

Building on the industry-shaping success of CoinJar Swipe, the world-first crypto EFTPOS card that CoinJar customers have been using since 2015, CoinJar Card represents a threshold moment for the Australian cryptocurrency scene: the first AUD-native cryptocurrency card on the Mastercard network.

CoinJar has once again partnered with EML (ASX:EML) – who helped bring CoinJar Swipe to life – to provide customers with seamless and lightning-fast payments, no matter where in the world CoinJar Card is used.

“Thanks to Mastercard’s universal acceptance and EML’s technological expertise, CoinJar Card gives our customers true day-to-day crypto functionality – whether it’s through their smartphone, wearable or eye-catching physical card,” says Tan.

With more than half-a-million customers in Australia and the UK, CoinJar has already helped its users conduct billions of dollars’ worth of transactions in Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies. CoinJar Card gives those users a simple, secure and seamless way to take their crypto into the real world, one purchase at a time.
