Put more weight behind every purchase: Announcing the Krak Metal Debit Card
Crafted from precision-milled stainless steel and powered by Kraken’s multi-asset infrastructure, the Metal Card delivers a seamless, global spending experience across crypto and fiat, with industry-leading rewards built in.
Designed for global spending, built on multi-asset freedom
Powered by Mastercard’s global payments network, the Krak Metal Card is accepted by millions of merchants worldwide. Customers (at home or abroad) can spend more than 600 supported cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies effortlessly with no FX or ATM withdrawal fees.
When you pay, Krak handles near-instant crypto-to-fiat conversion automatically. Purchases are funded according to your chosen spending order, intelligently drawing from and combining eligible balances as needed, while excluding any assets you’ve chosen to restrict.
There’s no need for manual conversions, removing friction at the point of sale and giving you complete control over how your money is used.
Earn more every time you spend
Every purchase made with the Krak Metal Card earns 2% cashback,* one of the most competitive rewards rates available on a global debit card. Cashback is applied automatically, so value starts accruing the moment you spend.
Inside the Krak app, customers benefit from real-time transaction alerts, instant card security controls and clear visibility into how balances are being used, bringing transparency and confidence to every transaction.
A premium card that rewards loyalty
The Krak Metal Card complements Krak’s existing plastic and virtual debit cards as a premium option for customers who maintain larger balances across the Kraken ecosystem. Eligibility is available to customers who hold an average balance of £50,000 or €50,000 across Krak, Kraken and Kraken Pro.
Kamo Asatryan, Kraken Chief Data Officer and Global Head of Consumer: “Your money should grow automatically. We’re making rewards effortless with cashback that grows with you, setting a new standard for the global money app for travel and everyday spending.”
Christian Rau, Mastercard Senior Vice President, Global Digital Commercialization: “By deepening our partnership with Kraken with the launch of the Krak Metal Card, we’re enabling more people to use crypto effortlessly in their everyday lives, connecting innovative digital solutions to the trusted global payments network they already rely on.”

The Krak Metal Debit Card is available today to eligible customers across the UK and EEA, directly in the Krak app. Over the coming months, Krak plans to expand availability and continue enhancing the Metal offering to reward customers who choose Krak as their primary global money app.
