Ripio Card

by Ripio

The Ripio Card is a prepaid Visa designed for the Latin American market, specifically Argentina and Brazil. The card is available in both physical and virtual formats and supports Apple Pay and Google Pay. It connects directly to the Ripio wallet, allowing users to spend any supported cryptocurrency or local fiat currency. It stands out for its straightforward cashback program which rewards crypto spending at 2% and fiat spending at 0.5%, without requiring staking or complex tier maintenance, with higher rates for new users in their first 30 days.
