Getting Started
Who is Tangem Pay available to?
Tangem Pay is available to all Tangem Wallet owners who successfully complete a one-time identity verification (KYC) processed by our independent partner.
You will need the Tangem app to activate and manage your card, and must be a resident of a supported country to be eligible.
Is Tangem Pay available in my country?
Tangem Pay begins its expansion in late November 2025 with a gradual rollout across many states and countries within:
- The United States
- Latin America
- Asia-Pacific and Beyond
If you’re a resident of one of those regions and want to be among the first to try Tangem Pay, make sure you’ve signed up for early access through the Waitlist. Residents of unsupported regions will see a waitlist screen in the Tangem app and be notified as coverage widens.
We hope to launch Tangem Pay across the UK and the European Union in early 2026. This rollout will prioritize regulatory alignment under MiCA and focus on expanding stablecoin payment access to EU residents.
Do I need to complete KYC?
Yes, a one-time identity verification (KYC) is required to activate your virtual Visa card.
We've designed this process with your privacy as the top priority. The verification is handled by our trusted card-issuing partner and is completely siloed. This means it applies only to your Tangem Pay account. Your main wallet's assets, history, and privacy remain completely untouched. Tangem never sees your personal verification data.
What do I need to get started?
To get started, you’ll need:
- A Tangem Wallet.
- A supported smartphone (iOS/Android).
- Valid ID to complete KYC.
- A residency address in one of the supported countries.
How do I sign up for Tangem Pay?
Once you pass KYC verification, your Tangem Pay account is activated, and you receive your virtual Visa card instantly. You can then deposit USDC on Polygon and start spending.
