Provisional

Virtual Mastercard debit card built into the SwissBorg app: spends BTC, ETH, SOL, BORG or stablecoins from the SwissBorg account, converted in real time to EUR, CHF or GBP. No service or annual fee; each card payment is a crypto exchange with SwissBorg's exchange fee, and part of that fee comes back as cashback in locked BORG depending on the loyalty rank. Issued by UAB Monavate for residents of the EEA, the UK and Switzerland.
