Recently discovered a great deal on the Safepal platform. You only need to complete a few simple steps to get a Mastercard, which supports the storage of euros, dollars, renminbi, and Swiss francs. By adding $5 for shipping, you can get a Paypal X1 hardware cold wallet, which can securely store some of your virtual assets. Below are the step-by-step instructions.
Brief introduction.
This virtual credit card has the following features:
1. Supports binding to WeChat, Alipay, Apple Pay, and any other platform that supports Mastercard.
2. Comes with a SR Saphirstein AG bank account, which is a Swiss bank.
3. Card consumption supports the deposit of dollars, RMB, euros, and Swiss francs, avoiding high currency conversion fees.
4. Supports recharge via USDC (Arbitrum), and also accepts wire transfers in euros and Swiss francs.
5. Virtual credit card head: BIN548108
6. Get a cold wallet worth $69 for free, just pay $5 for shipping.
(Relatively speaking, binding to Apple Pay is simpler for iPhones; WeChat and Alipay can also be bound, but they aren't as safe and convenient as Apple Pay.)
Application process.
For veterans, this is not a big deal, but still try to describe it in detail, as it will be more friendly to beginners.

3*. Apply for a Fiat24 bank account and virtual credit card.
5*. Real-name authentication (KYC)

The items marked with an asterisk are required to obtain the card, others can be done according to your needs.
Download the software.
Download link: https://www.safepal.com/zh-cn/download
(I don't know why Binance doesn't support putting the link directly, just make sure to download the version for your system.)
Create a new hot wallet.
Click to create a new wallet, set your transaction password, and write down your mnemonic phrase.
Transfer 0.0001 ETH to the wallet you just created.
Once your hot wallet is created, you will see the interface below.
If you cannot see this option, first turn off your ladder. Then click on the bank option to apply for a Swiss bank account with no management fees and a virtual Mastercard.
After clicking start, you will see a prompt to deposit 0.0001 ETH (Arbitrum) into your wallet to ensure it is valid. This is a very small amount of money, about $0.26, just for wallet verification, and will later be used to pay miner fees.
If you don’t have ETH, you can buy a little on Binance or OKX, and after obtaining Ethereum, transfer it to the hot wallet you just created via Arbitrum.
Apply for a bank account and virtual card.
After completing the recharge, the next step is to create a bank account. Prepare the following.
1. Passport or ID card.
2. In your own home (I am at home)
3. Allow location access (Activate my GPS)
The second item is just to confirm that the area we are in is our own country, as shown below.
At this point, be sure to click I have an invitation code and enter my invitation code 941273, so that you can obtain the hardware cold wallet gift without any requirements. This is a targeted benefit; otherwise, you would have to complete five not very simple tasks to get it.
Create a Fiat24 account.
After entering the invitation code, you can click 'Next' to start creating your account. This step requires patience.
The account creation process will take some time and will show a spinning circle, as shown.
But it won't take too long, just wait patiently for it to complete naturally.
Then a screen like this will pop up:
Click 'Register' to continue registering for the Fiat24 account.
Next, you may need to allow the use of your location and follow the prompts. If the screen cannot be scrolled, click the three dots in the upper right corner, click refresh, and you should be able to open the sliding button. The same operation can be used to solve similar issues on other screens.
Next is to enter your ID card information, the purpose of this account, your occupation, annual income, source of income, etc. This process is very similar to opening an account in China. Finally, enter your own email address. You also need this email to link this bank card to Apple Pay, so please enter the email you use the most and keep it in regular use.
During identity verification, you need NFC and a small WeChat program to assist. If your phone cannot complete the relevant operations, just switch to another phone.
After completing the above steps, identity verification will be completed.
If all goes well, you should see the following screen:
Click the bank card menu in the lower left corner to see your virtual Mastercard. We need to recharge it with $10 to activate.
Here’s an explanation of why you need to activate with ten dollars: this is to prevent some people from using the card for various verifications rather than for its intended economic use, which can lead to many chargebacks. This is a common practice in the virtual credit card industry. The ten dollars can also be used for payments later.
You need USDC on the Arbitrum chain, it must be USDC. If you have USDT, you can exchange it for USDC in Binance's quick exchange.
Automatically on the Arbitrum chain.
How to receive a hardware wallet for free.

Finally, claim the gift.
After clicking the person icon, scroll down to 'My Referrer' and click 'Claim Gift'. If you haven't entered the invitation code, remember to enter my invitation code 941273, and then you can claim the gift.
