How funding with USDC works
USDC on Base is what the card is funded with directly, so there's no conversion step. If your USDC is on another chain or you hold a different stablecoin, the in-app funding step bridges or swaps it to Base USDC first.
Steps
- Connect your wallet and choose your card amount in USD.
- Fund with USDC (bridged/swapped to Base USDC if needed).
- Generate the virtual Visa card and use it online.
FAQ
- Can I get a virtual card with USDC?
- Yes. USDC on Base is what the card is funded with directly, so there's no conversion step. If your USDC is on another chain or you hold a different stablecoin, the in-app funding step bridges or swaps it to Base USDC first. The card is then ready to use at most online merchants that accept Visa.
- Do I have to sell my USDC?
