Spending Limit  = Value of Selected Collateral (USD) x Initial LTV % x FX Rate (CAD)

A user’s Spending Limit is determined based on the current market price of the crypto that they select to be used as collateral and the Loan-to-Value (LTV) percentage applicable to them as shown below:

Crypto held in a user’s Crypto Wallet and Earn accounts may be used as collateral. However, staked CRO may not be used as collateral.

The maximum Spending Limit that can be granted is CAD 60,000. For more information, go to Spending Power – Spending Limit.

The amount used is not subject to any interest charges until 7 days after the cardholder makes a purchase or withdrawal with their Crypto.com Card. After 7 days, 9.99% APR will accrue on the amount used until it is paid in full.

Spending Power offers flexible repayments. For more information, go to Spending Power – Outstanding Balance.
