Tangem Pay Card

A virtual card concept connected to Tangem self-custody hardware.

Tangem Pay Card is a virtual Visa spending layer tied to Tangem Wallet and native USDC on Polygon. It requires KYC for the regulated payment account and is available in the US and selected LATAM, APAC, MEA and African markets. It is narrower than multi-chain or banking-style cards, but keeps the payment balance separate from the main hardware-wallet portfolio.
