A crypto wallet is easier to manage when the month follows the same few steps. Here is a routine you can set up once and repeat, with the fees and limits to know about.

The routine has one rhythm: receive income, move a planned spending amount to the card, keep the rest in the wallet, and review the history at month end. It works with any wallet that has a linked card, including Nexus Pay, where the wallet and the Visa card sit in the same Telegram app. The point is that you decide the spending amount once, at the start, instead of deciding it with every purchase. The table below shows each step and what to watch. This is general information about organising money, not financial advice.
| Step | What you do | Where the money sits | What to watch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Receive | Get income into the wallet | Wallet balance | Correct network and minimum deposit |
| Plan | Decide the spending amount for the month and swap to a stablecoin if needed | Wallet, in USDT or USDC | Swap amount shown before you confirm |
| Move | Send the planned amount to the card | Card balance | 0.1% fee for moving; card spends only what is there |
| Review | Read the wallet history at month end | Wallet and card | Where spending went and what to change |
Money you plan to spend this month should keep a steady value until you spend it. That is why the routine suggests holding it in a stablecoin: USDT and USDC are both supported in the Nexus Pay wallet. If your income arrives in BTC or ETH, you can swap it inside the wallet. The swap costs 0% and uses the exchange rate with no markup, and the amount you receive is shown before you confirm. Swapping may have tax consequences depending on where you live, so check the rules that apply to you; this is general information, not tax advice.
Move the amount you planned to spend, not the whole balance. Moving money from the wallet balance to the card costs 0.1%, so 1000 USDT becomes $999.00 on the card. The card spends only the available balance, with no credit and no overdraft, so the planned amount also works as a monthly limit. If you plan to withdraw cash, the ATM fee is 0.25% per withdrawal, and 1000 USDT withdrawn at an ATM leaves $996.50 before any fee from the ATM owner. Because the fee is charged per withdrawal, one larger withdrawal costs less than several small ones for the same total. Card purchases carry 0% and the card has no monthly fee.
Check the network before you send anything. Each deposit address belongs to one network. USDT and USDC can be deposited via TRC-20, ERC-20, BEP-20 and TON, while BTC and ETH use their own networks. A coin sent through a different network than the address was issued for will not arrive and cannot be reversed. Also check the minimum deposit for that network in the app, because smaller deposits are not credited. After the network confirms the transfer, the deposit is credited automatically, which takes from a few minutes to about an hour depending on the blockchain.
Open the wallet history and go through it once. You are looking for a few simple things:
Then set next month's spending amount. If the plan was too tight or too loose, adjust it. The review takes a few minutes and turns the routine into a habit rather than a one-off.
Keeping the remainder in the wallet, not on the card, limits how much a lost card or phone can expose. The card can be frozen and unfrozen in the app in one tap, and the app offers an optional four-digit access code. Transfers on a blockchain are irreversible, so nobody can bring back a transfer sent to the wrong address. Double-check addresses before you confirm. Issuing a card requires identity verification with a document and a photo, as anti-money-laundering law requires.
