Guía completa de Gnosis Pay

How the self-custodial Visa debit card lets you spend stablecoins directly from a smart account you control on Gnosis Chain.

Actualizado en septiembre de 2026

¿Qué es Gnosis Pay?

Gnosis Pay is a Visa debit card linked to a smart account on Gnosis Chain. Most crypto cards ask you to deposit funds with a centralised company first. The Gnosis Pay card instead spends stablecoins directly from a Safe smart account that you control, at merchants that accept Visa.

Auto-custodia

Your funds stay in a Safe smart account controlled by your keys. No exchange holds your balance. You remain responsible for those keys.

Liquidación en cadena

Each card payment is settled by a transaction on Gnosis Chain. You can check every purchase on a block explorer.

Aceptado mundialmente

Gnosis Pay runs on the Visa network. Per the Gnosis Pay docs, that means more than 80 million merchants worldwide, online and in store.

Cómo funciona Gnosis Pay

The Gnosis Pay card connects an on-chain account to the Visa payment network through a small set of smart contracts.

1

Cofre Gnosis Pay

When you sign up, a Gnosis Pay Safe is created for you. This is a Safe smart account (formerly Gnosis Safe) on Gnosis Chain, configured with Gnosis Pay modules, that serves as your spending account.

2

Financia tu monedero

Transfer a supported stablecoin (for example EURe or GBPe) to your Gnosis Pay Safe. Your balance is visible on-chain at all times and remains under your control.

3

Toca y paga

When you pay, the Visa network sends the authorisation to Gnosis Pay, which checks your on-chain balance and approves the payment within the usual card time limit.

4

Liquidación en cadena

The payment amount is then moved from your Safe by an on-chain transaction on Gnosis Chain. You can check every purchase on a block explorer.

Seguridad

Gnosis Pay builds on Safe, a widely used smart account standard, and adds modules specific to card payments.

Cartera de autocustodia

Your Gnosis Pay Safe is a smart account whose owner keys you control. Because the account lives on-chain, your ability to move funds does not depend on Gnosis Pay's servers, although the card itself does.

Módulo de retardo

A delay module (based on the Zodiac Delay Modifier, see Sources) holds transfers to non-whitelisted addresses for a set period. During that window you can cancel a transfer you did not intend.

Recuperación de cuenta

Safe accounts support multiple owners and recovery modules. Which options Gnosis Pay enables for your account is described in its documentation; losing your keys without a recovery setup means losing access.

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Qué es Gnosis Pay?
Gnosis Pay is a Visa debit card linked to a self-custodial Safe smart account on Gnosis Chain. You spend stablecoins held in that account at merchants that accept Visa, without first depositing funds with an exchange. Gnosis Pay runs the card programme and the fiat settlement with Visa; the funds stay in your account until each purchase.
¿Qué países admiten Gnosis Pay?
Gnosis Pay launched in 2023 for residents of the European Economic Area (EEA) and has since extended availability, including to the United Kingdom. Availability depends on where you live and on the card partner in that region. The current list of supported countries is in the Gnosis Pay help center (see Sources).
¿Qué monedas puedo gastar con la tarjeta Gnosis Pay?
Your Gnosis Pay account holds stablecoins on Gnosis Chain. EURe (euro) and GBPe (pound) are issued by Monerium, a licensed electronic money institution, and Gnosis Pay has added a US dollar stablecoin option. Purchases in another currency are converted at the Visa exchange rate plus any fee listed in the help center. Check the help center for the tokens supported in your region.
¿Es seguro usar Gnosis Pay?
Gnosis Pay uses a Safe smart account that you control with your own keys, so no exchange holds your balance. A delay module gives you a window to cancel non-card transfers before they execute. This removes exchange counterparty risk but not all risk: you remain responsible for your keys, the stablecoins carry issuer risk, and the account relies on Gnosis Chain running normally. Read the Gnosis Pay and Safe documentation before you use it.
¿Cómo se compara Gnosis Pay con las tarjetas de Crypto.com o Binance?
Crypto.com and Binance cards are custodial: you top up a balance held by the exchange, which converts crypto to fiat for you. Gnosis Pay is self-custodial: the stablecoins stay in your Safe until the moment of purchase, and each payment is settled on-chain. In exchange, Gnosis Pay supports fewer assets, and its fees, cashback and country coverage follow different rules. Compare the current terms on each provider's site before choosing.
