SwissBorg and Mastercard to Launch Crypto Debit Card Across 30 Countries in 2026
SwissBorg announced a partnership with Mastercard to introduce a crypto debit card in 2026 that will let users in 30 countries spend digital assets at more than 150 million merchant locations worldwide. The platform said the global rollout will leverage Mastercard's existing network to convert crypto at the point of sale, broadening merchant acceptance and day-to-day utility for assets held in SwissBorg accounts.
The move could accelerate mainstream adoption by reducing friction for crypto payments and increasing on‑ramp/off‑ramp options for users. For SwissBorg, wide merchant acceptance is a commercial milestone that may drive engagement and interest in BORG, though outcomes will hinge on fees, supported assets, jurisdictional availability and regulatory developments. Market participants should watch for detailed card terms and roll‑out timing as the program progresses into 2026.
