Other ways to spend crypto

By now you should be getting the idea that there are almost no limitations when it comes to paying car loans or other monthly payments with crypto.

Gift cards

If your favorite retailer doesn’t accept direct crypto payments yet, don’t sweat it. With BitPay you can also use the cryptocurrency of your choice to purchase gift cards from a wide assortment of brands including Uber, Walmart, Hotels.com and more. 

Different ways to use the BitPay Wallet app

The BitPay Wallet is the only crypto app you need to buy, store, spend, and swap your digital portfolio.

Buy crypto at low rates

If you want to save money, it’s best to shop around for the best possible rates when buying crypto, but doing so every time you buy takes time and effort. Through its extensive partner network, BitPay does the work for you to ensure you always get the best available price. With our “Best Offer” feature, accessible either through the website or in the BitPay Wallet app, you’ll be presented with multiple offers, all with no hidden fees or excessive markups. All you have to do is pick whichever offer looks best and you’ll be brought to one of our trusted partner sites to finish the transaction.

Store with self-custody

The BitPay Wallet is self-custody, meaning nobody but you will ever have access to your private keys or the crypto-assets they help protect. For crypto users who prioritize wallet security, self-custody is the preferred solution.

Spend

Whether you’re paying directly with crypto at your favorite retailer, making crypto payments on car loans or other bills or buying gift cards with crypto, the BitPay Wallet has you covered. Even if you aren’t a BitPay Wallet user you can still make crypto buys and have them sent to any self-custody wallet through the BitPay website.

Swap

If you want to take part in a blockchain project or join a crypto community that interests you, chances are you’ll need some small amount of the respective ecosystem’s native crypto token. For instance, if you want to dip a toe into the passive income earning possibilities accessible through the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, you’ll need to hold some Ethereum or another compatible cryptocurrency. Maybe you're interested in joining a more niche community powered by a smaller, lesser-known crypto token. It used to be you’d have to exchange fiat for a big-name coin like Bitcoin, then exchange that for the smaller token. But within the BitPay app, you can instantly exchange almost any cryptocurrency for any other, with hundreds of swapping pairs available.
