When the Volta Crypto Wallet was designed to make operating in the world of crypto easier, this was never about making some incremental gains that made things a little bit simpler. Rather, it was all about creating an app that would be so much more straightforward to use and have so many different elements that it would represent a quantum leap.
Anyone learning about the Volta Wallet will quickly discover what these are. There’s the non- custodial wallets, the integrated support for Ethereum chain tokens, the multi-account management system, the capacity to access no fewer than 90,000 trading pairs and the trustlines addition facility, which makes adding and managing XRPL tokens so much simpler.
A Bridge Over Crypto Waters
All this is great and makes what was once very complex into something very simple, all in one package. But what gives the full package an extra dimension is the Volta Card.
This is the aspect of the whole system that forms a bridge between what can often seem a very complex world of crypto and the everyday world in which people stay in hotels, drive cars, wear watches, take out insurance policies, and make basic high street purchases from the weekly shop to grabbing a coffee or bite for lunch.
Indeed, the range of things you can purchase using crypto has expanded greatly. This now includes items such as cars, watches and other jewellery, handbags, apartments, precious metals, private planes and spirits. Many of these are top-end purchases, including our own partnerships with luxury hotels, but it can also include many more mundane things too.
Enjoy Big Advantages
Using the Volta Card helps you to link the world of crypto with the real world in three ways. Firstly, it enables you to make card payments to anyone, anywhere that accepts crypto payment directly, such as a wide and growing array of leading hotel chains. Better still, we have direct deals with some of these to provide you with exciting discounts.
Secondly, the card can convert your crypto into lots of fiat currencies, which means there are loads of countries where you can go and use the card to pay for things in the same way you would with a standard debit or credit card – only without all the transaction fees you might incur using an account that is converting one fiat currency to another.
Thirdly, whichever way you spend on the card, you can build up points on it and gain rewards as a result, ranging from cashback to discounts with a range of partners. These will increase as you use the card more, adding to the initial build-up of points you can get simply by downloading the app, recommending a friend, adding coin wallets, or setting trustlines.
These elements do much more than simply emulate the benefits of having a credit card in a fiat currency. Firstly, they put you in a prime position to take advantage of any special offers that are exclusive to customers using crypto, such as cut-price hotel deals.
Secondly, the absence of transaction fees when switching to a local currency gives you huge flexibility when travelling, especially if you are on a trip that takes you to multiple countries with different fiat currencies.
Thirdly, the fact you can build up points for more than just transactions means that when you do come to spend on the card, you will have already totted up a lot of points and can therefore reach higher reward tiers and enjoy the benefits of reaching particular point tallies sooner.
This Is The Future
With all these benefits, what you end up with when you get a Volta Card is not just a means of connecting the crypto world with real-world purchases, but a whole array of in-built advantages to doing so.
It is only right that this should be the case. After all, it is certainly true that fiat currency credit cards come with all sorts of rewards and loyalty bonuses of their own. The difference with the Volta Card is that it doesn’t just use crypto, but also offers the extra advantages crypto has over fiat currencies and some bonuses just for setting the card up as well.
The great thing is that this is just the start. The use of crypto will continue to expand. The number of things you can pay for directly will only increase further, and more currencies will be amenable to direct, fee-free conversion from crypto.
Not only is the Volta Card a bridge to purchasing in the real world, but it will grow ever wider. If today it is like a footbridge, one day it will be like a major highway as so many more people use it.
