PURCHASE, N.Y.—Crypto and fiat financial app “hi” is introducing what it is calling “the world’s first debit card featuring “NFT avatar customization.”
The move is being made in partnership with Mastercard, Finance Feeds said.
“Eligible owners of blue-chip NFTs can now customize Mastercard debit cards with avatars they verifiably own. It means they will be able to have their beloved character emblazoned on the plastic card that’s in their pocket,” Finance Feeds reported.
The card also offers other benefits such as access to exclusive offers with select merchants and comes with no annual fee, as well as free subscriptions to lifestyle products, and travel perks, according to the report.
The hi debit card has six different membership tiers with a range of benefits, depending on membership tier, which is obtained by staking hi’s token, and starts at less than 10 euros, Finance Feeds said.
hi cards will initially be available in 25-plus EEA countries as well as in the U.K. The card only supports a limited number of NFT collections including CryptoPunks, Moonbirds, Goblins, Bored Apes and Azukis. NFT owners need to verify they own a collectible before their card can be customized, Finance Feeds said.
‘Look Amazing’
“Not only do the NFT cards look amazing, this is a great way for people to show which online community they belong to, but in the real world,” says Sean Rach, co-founder of hi. “The flexibility to spend fiat, stablecoins or other crypto, combined with attractive financial and lifestyle rewards, makes us confident that our card is a game-changer in the market.”
