Overview
The BitPay Card was a prepaid debit card for US residents, funded from wallets in the BitPay app and available in virtual and physical form.
In early 2026 BitPay’s card page said new applications were paused and offered a waitlist. That page now redirects to the homepage, and BitPay’s help centre lists its wallet, payouts and gift cards, but no card.
