Bitso Card
Updated: Sep 20, 2026
The Bitso Card was a debit card product previously offered by Bitso to users in Mexico; it enabled purchases directly using the Mexican Peso balance held in a Bitso custodial account, rather than selling crypto assets like BTC or USDC at the time of the transaction. Crypto assets had to be converted into pesos within the Bitso platform first, after which the card would deduct funds from the account's fiat balance—a structure combining an exchange custodial account with a local fiat debit card.

Card overview
This card was a product designed to extend Bitso’s local Mexican account system to card-based spending scenarios, offering both physical and digital versions. Its key feature was not direct settlement in cryptocurrency, but rather the utilization of the available MXN balance within the user's Bitso account; users would build up a peso balance—through trading, currency exchange, or fiat deposits—which the card then drew upon for daily transactions, effectively using the fiat balance as an intermediary between the exchange asset account and card spending. Bitso has decided to exit this business line and will officially discontinue the Bitso Card on May 26, 2025; the main Bitso platform and its updated product ecosystem no longer offer new card services.

I would rate them lower but I can't, I had an issue we're my phone was stolen and they managed to access my account and took out a considerable amount of money and even with the police report filed the answer bitso gave me was that if the money was still available they could give it back to me other wise that money was lost and it was in fact lost they never gave me an actual solution
