Introduction

Zebec is redefining the friction point between digital assets and the real-world economy. While most crypto projects focus on trading, Zebec focuses on utility. The Zebec Payment Card is the bridge that allows you to move away from traditional banking and “live-on-crypto” by spending your assets as easily as cash.

By integrating with major payment networks like Mastercard, Zebec allows you to spend over 150+ different tokens at millions of locations worldwide.

Why Use a Zebec Card?

Unlike traditional debit cards that require a manual bank transfer from an exchange (taking days), the Zebec ecosystem is built on Real-Time Finance.

  • Instant Liquidity: Convert your crypto to fiat at the moment of purchase.
  • Global Acceptance: Accepted anywhere Mastercard is recognized—from your local coffee shop to international airlines.
  • Zero Hidden Fees: Transparent conversion rates without the traditional “crypto-to-fiat” tax common on centralized exchanges.
  • Multi-Chain Support: Spend assets held on Solana, BNB Chain, and the Zebec Network (ZBCN).

Getting Started: The Onboarding Process

To begin living on crypto, follow these steps to secure and activate your card:

1. Download the Zebec Super App

The card is managed entirely through the Zebec Super App. This acts as your non-custodial command center where you can view your balance, track spending, and manage security settings.

2. Choose Your Card Type

Zebec offers both Virtual and Physical cards:

  • Virtual Cards: Ideal for online shopping and immediate use via Apple Pay or Google Pay.
  • Physical Cards: Heavy-duty, high-quality cards designed for in-person transactions and ATM withdrawals globally.

3. Loading Your Card

You don’t “top up” a Zebec card in the traditional sense. Instead, you link your Zebec wallet. When you swipe the card, the network instantly validates your crypto balance and executes the trade behind the scenes to settle the transaction in the merchant’s local currency.

Living on Crypto: Real-World Use Cases

How does this actually look in day-to-day life?

Real-Time Payroll Integration

If your employer uses Zebec Payroll, you get paid by the second. This means your Zebec Card balance increases incrementally throughout the day. You can literally walk into a store at 5:00 PM and spend the money you earned between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM that same day.

Everyday Expenses

From paying for gas to settling a dinner tab, the Zebec card removes the need to “off-ramp” your crypto to a bank. You keep your wealth in the crypto ecosystem until the exact micro-second you decide to spend it.

Safety and Security

Zebec utilizes enterprise-grade security protocols. Because the system is decentralized, you retain control of your private keys while benefiting from the fraud protection and merchant reliability of the Mastercard network.

The Zebec Card is more than just a piece of plastic; it’s a tool for financial sovereignty. By removing the gatekeepers of traditional finance, Zebec is making the decentralized economy a daily reality.
