Different funding models
A card may sell crypto at checkout, spend a previously funded fiat balance, or offer credit with crypto rewards. A rewards credit purchase does not require selling your crypto.
FinFly Explains / Crypto
What a crypto card is and how it works
“Crypto card” covers different products, not one universal payment mechanism. Check the funding model first.
Before paying
Read the issuer’s terms: funding source, conversion timing, spread, fees, limits and refunds. The crypto label is not a substitute for a contract.
Spending is not automatically taxable income
Azerbaijan’s tax service describes crypto income in terms of appreciation realised on disposal. Card spending and taxable gain are not the same amount. Keep acquisition and exchange records; confirm your circumstances with the tax service.
Questions
