What's going on everyone Lalit here! Cryptocurrency and credit cards,
[3]
you got block five with their own credit card.
[5]
You got Gemini with their own credit card.
[8]
You have Nexo with their own credit card.
[10]
And so today I wanted to look at all the details a to Z for nexus credit card
[14]
and give my opinion and kind of give my feedback on the product itself.
[18]
And with that, we'll get straight into it. Mexico.
[21]
Card, the only card that lets you spend the value of your digital assets without
[24]
having to sell them. This card isn't released yet.
[27]
So you can get early access by signing up on the site,
[29]
looking at the key features it's accepted worldwide by 40 million plus
[33]
merchants. And if you look at the logo on the Nexo credit card itself,
[37]
it shows up kind of like a MasterCard, but next though is based out of Europe.
[41]
And if you look at the logo and you've seen it before,
[43]
it also goes by another name known as maestro, which means master as well.
[47]
But looking at the color scheme, it looks more like a MasterCard.
[50]
And I've seen my throw given in both colors in this orange, red,
[54]
as well as a blue kind of red,
[56]
you get instant cash back on all your purchases and it says cash back.
[60]
But that cash back can be in the form of cryptocurrency as well.
[64]
You have flexible repayment options. And in addition,
[66]
you have free additional virtual cards, these virtual cards, if you're familiar,
[71]
for example, with the X one credit card or privacy.com,
[74]
you can actually have virtual card numbers. So for example,
[78]
if you're afraid of theft or let's just say you want to be extra secure,
[81]
or you want to take advantage of some free trials,
[83]
you can basically have these virtual card numbers to use on certain services.
[87]
And you're protecting yourself that much further.
[89]
You have payments made in local currencies.
[91]
And moreover you have no monthly or annual fees. In addition,
[95]
you don't have any foreign transaction fees,
[98]
no monthly fees and no annual fees and especially no foreign transaction fees is
[102]
huge. Because for example, even if you were able to send Bitcoin from,
[106]
let's say America to Switzerland, you'll still incur that Bitcoin network fee.
[110]
And so without any foreign transaction fees, there is no extra. For example,
[114]
2.9% on all purchases that's added as a foreign transaction fee.
[118]
And in addition,
[119]
you still have your cryptocurrency in your account instead of actually spending
[123]
it AKA, you're not converting your cryptocurrency to cash,
[127]
which again may have some fees in the backend on next.
[130]
So you're actually able to just spend just like that next.
[133]
So it does have a desktop version of their site.
[135]
And what they're saying is basically their credit card can also be managed to
[138]
their next old wallet app. Again, accepted by 40 plus million merchants.
[142]
Worldwide.
[143]
All you have to do is swipe your card and the payment amount is deducted from
[146]
your available balance on your credit line.
[148]
Your credit line in the first place is actually your cryptocurrency that you
[152]
have with Nexium. And it's a certain percentage of your holdings.
[156]
And according to their terms and conditions,
[158]
based on the loan to value on certain assets,
[160]
they'll issue you a certain credit line.
[162]
This credit line does fluctuate as the prices of cryptocurrency fluctuate as
[166]
well. And so you want to be kind of careful.
[169]
And since there are no credit checks,
[171]
even if you utilize a hundred percent of your credit,
[173]
it may not affect your credit score per se,
[175]
but Nexo does have that right to actually liquidate your assets.
[179]
So this is more of a point of caution than not. So in the sample notification,
[183]
they talk about a cash withdrawal done at the Tokyo. ATM.
[186]
The point is with a credit card, if you actually take money out of an ATM,
[190]
it's considered a cash advance and more importantly,
[193]
it actually affects your credit more directly than not because it seemed like
[197]
you're using cash that you don't have instead of using it for purchases,
[201]
which that debate is for another day. But in general,
[204]
cash advance doing it on a credit card is actually a big no-no and can affect
[208]
your credit score.
[209]
So the fact that you can take out cash from an ATM with your Nexo credit card,
[213]
quote unquote, is actually pretty cool. And more than that,
[215]
it's interesting because you're not even selling your crypto for cash to get
[219]
that cash out of the ATM. You're just using what you have as collateral,
[222]
similar to how margin works in the stock market.
[225]
You basically have your assets with Nexo.
[227]
And so your collateral with Nexo is your cryptocurrency.
[230]
While on the other hand, in the stock market,
[232]
it's your actual portfolio plus cash you have in the stock market. In this case,
[236]
you're basically able to take out depending on how much is a lot of buyer broker
[240]
or in this case, Nexo based on your credit line X amount of cash,
[244]
similar to how you can take X amount of margin in cash,
[247]
straight from your broker, the features you need right at your fingertips.
[251]
You can freeze and unfreeze your next. So credit card with a single tap,
[254]
which I'm assuming is through the app,
[256]
receive instant notifications about all transactions,
[259]
create free virtual cards for safe online purchases,
[263]
monitor all your transactions in real time,
[266]
get 2% cash back with all purchases and view your pen and change it at
[271]
any ATM if needed similar to the safety of these virtual card numbers.
[275]
The fact that you can change your pin, I think is a big USP,
[278]
a unique selling point, get 2% cash back.
[281]
Every time you tap your next cell card,
[283]
choose whether you received your awards in Nexo tokens or BTC or toggle between
[287]
the two, right before making a transaction.
[290]
All your cash back is automatically placed in your next account.
[293]
So the only thing you got to worry about is making purchases with your card.
[297]
I'm usually not a stickler about these things,
[298]
but it does say get 2% back every time you tap your card.
[302]
And I hope tap is not to be confused with, let's say,
[305]
swiping or using it for online purchases,
[307]
or let's say you can load it into apple, pay, Google pay, et cetera.
[311]
I'm pretty sure it's 2% on all purchases,
[313]
but just putting this little extra detail out there.
[316]
I think one of the coolest parts is that you can choose between Nexo tokens or
[320]
BTC me personally, I choose BTC every single time,
[324]
nothing wrong with Nexo and I'm sure that next,
[326]
so tokens are a great utility to use the service, but when you compare it,
[329]
for example,
[330]
Nexo versus Celsius versus block five versus Gemini versus et cetera.
[334]
For me personally BTC at this time, at least. And in general,
[338]
I would say for me, personally, BDC is the way to go flexibility versus not.
[343]
And finally,
[344]
a secure wallet for a digital assets is basically a point under security,
[348]
but it's equipped with similar military grade,
[350]
two 56 bit encryption and a 24 seven 365 fraud monitoring
[355]
mechanisms guaranteeing the of clients is funds and transactions not to go
[360]
into too much detail,
[360]
but there are a lot of services trying to integrate this two 56 bit level of
[364]
encryption and security overall.
[366]
So it's good to see that Mexico is on that same playing field,
[369]
the Nextel credit card isn't out yet, but at the same time,
[372]
you can still sign up for early access and referral links wise.
[375]
There aren't any, at least to my knowledge for Nexo specifically. And finally,
[379]
I did release some videos on Geminis credit card,
[382]
as well as block buys credit card.
[384]
So this is one more from a cryptocurrency exchange of sorts,
[387]
AKA Nexo so hope you enjoyed it. And I'll ask this,
[391]
but if you want to see comparison of some of the credit cards slash credit card
[395]
type of products within this actual space of cryptocurrency, happy to do it.
[399]
So do comment below. But with that, thank you so much. Watch.
