Which states and territories are supported?

OKX Card is available to eligible US customers in select states and territories excluding Massachusetts, New York, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, or the U.S. Virgin Islands.

What do I need to be eligible?

You must meet three requirements:

  • Completed OKX Exchange KYC (identity verification)

  • An active OKX Pay account

  • Pass the card pre-screening checks at the time of application

Your Exchange account must be active, unrestricted and in good standing.

Can I apply without identity verification?

No. You must complete Exchange KYC before applying for a card.

What crypto do I need to hold?

You need a balance of USDC, USDT, or USDG in your OKX Pay account. These are the supported stablecoins for the card program.

How do I apply?

You can apply directly in the OKX app:

  • Complete Exchange KYC if you have not already

  • Set up your OKX Pay account

  • Open the Card application flow in the OKX app.

  • Review and sign the cardholder agreement

  • Select your repayment method: Autopay or Manual repayment.

  • Your virtual card will be issued immediately upon approval.

How long does the application take?

The application requires you to maintain an OKX account and OKX Pay wallet. Once those features are enabled and you apply for the card, OKX will validate your information and run instant risk checks. Users will typically receive their virtual card immediately upon completion of these checks, if approved.
