What is the CoinZoom Crypto Debit Card?

The CoinZoom Crypto Debit card lets you pay with crypto at over 130 million locations globally. The card is available to all customers in more than 150 countries


There are five levels of cards that allow you to earn rewards of 0.5-5% according to your CoinZoom Prime level. See the following link for more details on each card: https://www.coinzoom.com/cards/ 


In order to use the CoinZoom Crypto card, go into your CoinZoom App and choose which currency you want purchases to spend with. Once you've chosen the wallet, use your card at ATMs or accepting merchants. 

 

When you swipe your card, CoinZoom will confirm that there are sufficient available funds in the currency you've selected to pay for the amount requested. If there are enough available funds, the transaction will be approved. As the transaction is approved CoinZoom will create a market order for the amount of currency to cover the purchase.


If there are not enough funds of the selected currency, the transaction will not succeed. In that case, go into the app and choose another currency that has a sufficient quantity to cover the purchase plus fees.  

 

For some purchases, like at a restaurant where a tip is often added to the bill after the transaction is approved, the tip amount may not show on the customer's account until the next day.

What is a Pre-Authorization?

When using your CoinZoom Crypto Debit card, some merchants request authorization for a specified dollar amount that may be over the actual amount of the purchase. If you were to purchase a five dollar cup of coffee, for example, the merchant will automatically request five dollars. If you have enough value in your selected crypto, CoinZoom authorizes that purchase and initiates a market order for the amount of crypto to satisfy the payment.


But some merchants aren't sure how much your final purchase will be, so they request a "pre-authorization" for a dollar amount. For example, a gas pump transaction may request a "pre-authorization" for $95.00 as a way of holding enough value to make the purchase. After pumping your gas the merchant sends a "completion transaction" message with the actual amount to charge


Example of merchants where this can happen include gas stations, hotels and rental car agencies.


CoinZoom releases any pre-authorized amount from your account once the merchant gives notification with the "completion transaction" amount and the actual amount to charge. Any additional amount of the pre-authorization over the final transaction amount is then released. Sometimes settling the charge can take until the next day.
