How does auto-conversion work?
Your Xapo debit card can use your US dollar balance, your Bitcoin balance, or both.
If your USD balance is insufficient for a purchase, Xapo Card can automatically convert Bitcoin to USD to cover the cost. This feature does not draw funds from savings accounts or the Bitcoin vault; therefore, ensure your main wallet has enough funds before making a card purchase.
How to choose which account to use
By default, new cards use your US dollar account. Auto-conversion from Bitcoin is turned off.
You can change this setting at any time for any card:
Tap on "My cards" in the app and select the card you want to change.
Select Settings.
Tap "Linked accounts" and choose your settings.
Your card spend push notifications will indicate whether BTC auto-conversion occurred, and you will be able to see the details associated with the transaction reflected in your account transaction history.
