The InterLink Card is a **VISA®/Mastercard®-powered prepaid debit card** integrated with the InterLink App — designed to give users a simple, transparent, and cost-effective way to spend crypto seamlessly, anytime and anywhere.
With **InterLink Card**, users can make payments at millions of merchants worldwide using their stablecoin balance, while automatically **earning $ITLG**
#### What InterLink Card Offers:
* No conversion fees or monthly/annual charges
* Automatic yield generation on all balances held in the **InterLink account**
* Instant spending capability at global online and offline merchants
* Fully compatible with **Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Alipay** for a smooth checkout experience
### 2. Credential-Enabled
InterLink ID Credentials
Privacy-Preserving Identity Meets Real-World Payments
Each InterLink Card is linked not only to a wallet but also to the **user’s verifiable credentials stored in their InterLink ID**. These credentials may include:
* **NFC-enabled Passport**
* **National ID**
* **Driver’s License**
* **KYC Level, Age, or Jurisdiction Tags**
InterLink Card also enables users to connect valid forms of **government-issued ID (e.g. NFC passports)** to their InterLink ID — without exposing personal information to any third party.
At its simplest, a card equipped with **NFC** and connected to a verified InterLink ID can already serve as a **secure and user-friendly payment method** — replacing traditional plastic cards and passwords with tap-and-go access powered by identity.
But beyond ease of use, hese credentials are used to **unlock or restrict payment permissions** depending on context. For example:
* Enable or **restrict cross-border** spending based on passport verification
* Allow **age-restricted** purchases only if ID is linked
* With face and passport verification qualifies as **KYC/AML**-ready for most payment use cases.
* Future use: automate spending tiers, discounts, or access based on verified status
The result is a payment card that adapts to your real-world identity, while keeping your personal information private and under your control.
### 3. Revenue Potential

This built-in incentive loop drives loyalty, daily activity, and sustainable revenue at scale.
