Choose Virtual Cards in the destination picker.
uSwap shows the currently available virtual-card products. Pick the card network you want before creating the bridge.
One card bridge. Fund it again when you need it.
Create a virtual Visa or Mastercard with supported crypto, then return to the same uSwap card bridge to add more funds. Current fees and limits appear in the quote before you send.
A card that stays attached to its own bridge.
Select an available virtual-card product, choose a funding amount, and review the live route before sending crypto. The first completed funding operation issues the card. When you return to that same uSwap bridge and complete another funding operation, it reloads the existing card.
That means one card can have a history, a balance, and controls without turning every top-up into a new credential. The app keeps the card product fixed for that bridge, so choose the available network that fits your use before the first funding operation.

The card flow, from first funding to reload.
Set the card value and inspect the quote.
The quote is the decision point: it shows the proposed card value and the applicable funding, routing, provider, and network costs for that route.
Fund the route exactly as instructed.
Some funding routes can require an exact payment amount while others permit a range. Use the route’s current instructions and limits rather than reusing an old quote.
Return to the same bridge to reload.
Once the first card is issued, later completed deposits on that bridge fund the same card. Its protected card view is where you can check balance, history, credentials, and controls.
Details and controls stay in one place.
The card experience is designed around an authorized card view, rather than putting sensitive data in a public transaction page.
Concealed until you open the card view.
Card number, expiry, CVV, and PIN are not exposed in public bridge data. The interface conceals them again when access or browser focus changes.
See the available amount on the card itself.
Funding status and a card’s available balance are separate concepts. Check the card view after a completed funding operation before attempting a purchase.
Keep card activity beside the card.
Transaction history appears with the card details, so you can distinguish a funding operation from a merchant transaction when investigating a charge.
Freeze or unfreeze through the card view.
Use the card’s own protected controls when you need to change whether it can accept transactions. A control request can take time to complete.
Read the whole funding quote.
A card value and a crypto amount are not interchangeable. The live quote separates the value intended for the card from the costs needed to create or fund it.
| Quote component | What it means | When it can apply |
|---|---|---|
| Card value | The USD value the card funding operation is intended to add. | Every card quote |
| Card creation | An issuance cost associated with creating the first card, when the selected product quote includes one. | First card funding |
| Top-up | A funding charge associated with adding value to the card. | Card funding or reload |
| Routing and network cost | Costs of moving the selected crypto through the available route. | Depends on the source asset and route |
Live quote before send Source amount can be fixed or variable Product and route limits apply
Funding completes after settled credit, not just a send.
A card route can pass through deposit confirmation, conversion, and credit before the card operation runs. The app uses the settled credit to determine the amount that can actually fund the card under the current product quote.
If a locked card value or a product minimum is not covered by the final settled credit, the funding operation can be held for review instead of being marked complete at a smaller value. Keep the original bridge open for the accurate state and any next action.

The first completed funding operation on a card bridge issues the selected card. Later completed funding operations on that same bridge add funds to the existing card rather than issuing a replacement.
