Landscape typical of Saudi Arabia. Nexus Pay crypto wallet and Visa card

Crypto wallet and Visa card in Saudi Arabia

The Saudi riyal has been pegged to the US dollar since 1986, so the conversion rate from USDT remains almost entirely stable.

How it works in Saudi Arabia

Nexus Pay is a crypto wallet with a Visa card. Fund your account in crypto, move what you need onto the card, and spend it anywhere Visa is accepted — no Saudi bank account needed.

Payments in Saudi Arabia settle in Saudi riyals: the riyal is pegged to the dollar, which means converting from USDT produces barely any rate fluctuation — ATMs work the same way.

What actually reaches your pocket

Our published fees, with no hidden markup on the rate. From 1,000 USDT:

  • Swapping inside the wallet — 0%. Exchange rate, no markup.
  • $1,000.00 lands on the card — the card top-up is free; card purchases cost 1.5%.
  • $984.00 in cash at an ATM, after our fee of 1.5% + 1 USDT per withdrawal.

The ATM operator in Saudi Arabia may add its own fee on top of ours. That money does not come to us, it differs by machine, and it cannot be stated in advance.

How to fund the account

In crypto across six networks: USDT and USDC on TRC-20, ERC-20, BEP-20 and TON; BTC and ETH on their own chains. The address is issued for the network you pick.

Blockchain transfers are irreversible. Sending on the wrong network means the funds are gone for good — check both the address and the network.

What you need to start

  • A Telegram or Google account — sign-in goes through them, there is no separate password.
  • Crypto to fund the account — any supported coin.
  • For a card, identity verification: anti-money-laundering law requires it.
