Where can you use a Nomux crypto card?

The short answer: wherever Mastercard or Visa is taken

Every Nomux card runs on Mastercard or Visa and is issued through a licensed partner bank, so acceptance is decided by the card network, not by Nomux. Nomux keeps no list of partner merchants, because none is needed.

The names on this page, such as Amazon, Uber, Steam, ChatGPT and Netflix, are examples of merchants that bill Mastercard and Visa cards. They are not partners of Nomux, and any of them can still decline an individual payment under its own rules.

Nomux itself controls something narrower: phone-wallet and ATM support per product, and the price of every payment. The table above shows those differences.

Subscriptions and online services

Every Nomux product works online. Subscriptions are the most common everyday use: AI tools such as ChatGPT, streaming such as Netflix, music, cloud storage, web hosting and advertising accounts all accept the card.

With the card saved, renewals go through automatically. The only thing to watch is the balance, because a renewal against an empty account is declined like any card payment without funds.

Some services verify a new card with a small test charge or a zero-amount check when you first save it. When such a check debits money, the amount comes back to the balance.

Online stores, rides and games

Big marketplaces such as Amazon, travel booking sites and app stores take a Nomux card at checkout like any card. Ride and delivery apps such as Uber accept it as a saved payment method.

Game stores such as Steam accept it too. Some digital stores tie the store region to the country of the card or of the account, so the card's country can affect what you see and can buy there.

Travel suits the card well: flights, trains, prepaid hotel stays and eSIM plans can all be paid online with a Nomux card, in the merchant's own currency.

Google Pay, Apple Pay and cash

Phone wallets work with 5 Nomux products out of 6: Netherlands, Spain, France, United Kingdom and Singapore. Once in Google Pay or Apple Pay, the card pays at contactless terminals in shops, cafés and transport.

Nomux offers no one-tap button for this, so you open Google Wallet or Apple Wallet yourself and enter the card number, CVV and expiry Nomux displays.

Cash comes out with 5 products out of 6. The Netherlands, Spain and France products charge 1% per withdrawal, the United Kingdom and Singapore products 2%. Monthly ATM ceilings are 5,000 USDT on Netherlands, 2,500 on Spain, 1,500 on France and the United Kingdom, 1,000 on Singapore.

Where a Nomux card may not work

The Luxembourg card works online and nowhere else: phone wallets and cash machines are not available on it. It is also the one prepaid product in the range, and some merchants and advertising platforms refuse prepaid cards by policy.

Hotel deposits and car rental counters often refuse virtual cards whoever issued them, because they want a card they can hold an amount against at the desk. A physical Nomux card is the better tool there; it requires KYC.

A card can also be declined because of its BIN, the opening digits of the number that identify the issuing bank. Within the Nomux range, higher-threshold products carry stronger BINs and get declined less often.

Finally, Nomux is not available to the US, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, North Korea, African countries or sanctioned jurisdictions. The availability page has the details.
