VANCOUVER, Jan. 10, 2019 /CNW/ - NetCents Technology Inc. ("NetCents" or the "Company") (CSE: NC / Frankfurt: 26N) is pleased to announce that it has opened up applications to the beta for its upcoming Cryptocurrency Credit Card program.

The Company is finalizing the integration of the credit card program into the user portal and Instant Settlement program. Once complete, the Company will have a trial alpha period over the next couple of months. During this time, the Company will be accepting applications to be included in this Springs' beta period. The Company anticipates that the beta will run for 4-8 weeks. Upon the successful completion of the beta period, the credit card program will be rolled out to all Canadian users.

The beta program is open to Canadian residents that currently hold Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ether, and Bitcoin Cash. Users will need to sign up for a NetCents user account in order to be eligible for the beta program.

People are able to sign up to apply to become part of the beta program at: https://net-cents.com/credit-card-beta

Once the program has been fully rolled out in Canada, the Company will launch the credit card to European cryptocurrency holders. The NetCents Card will be able to be used anywhere, at over 40 million merchants¹ worldwide, that Visa is accepted.

Unlike other prepaid cryptocurrency cards in the market, NetCents cardholders will not have to pre-load cryptocurrency onto their card, eliminating the risk of the value of the cryptocurrency fluctuating between the time the user loads it and the time they spend it. The NetCents Card will be tied directly into users' NetCents wallets, allowing cardholders to directly spend the cryptocurrency in their wallet. Users will be able to select up to three cryptocurrencies that they would like to be able to spend on their card. The NetCents Card will be integrated into the NetCents mobile application and have chip, pin, mag stripe, and NFC functionality.

The Company will be adapting its merchant Instant Settlement technology to convert the funds from cryptocurrency to fiat for real-time consumer purchasing and merchant payouts. Allowing users to spend their cryptocurrency anywhere Visa is accepted.
