Paired with Bonpay Debit Card, the wallet allows worldwide transfers, purchases and cash withdrawals 24/7. Bonpay Wallet is currently running on Alpha version and only supports BTC, while the card is issued in EUR or USD. Bonpay is planning to offer a multi-currency wallet for web, iOS and Android in the near future, and also to issue a Credit Card that will support +125 traditional currencies.
