This article guides you on how to spend with the Pionex Card, manage your card, and maintain card security. The main sections covered are:
Fund Transfer
Since the Pionex Card is a separate account, you need to transfer funds from your main Pionex account to your Card account. To do this:
APP
Step 1: Open the Pionex App and navigate to the [Wallet] → [Card] page.
Step 2: Tap [Deposit] and select [Transfer] from the options.
Step 3: Enter the amount to transfer or tap [All] to transfer the full balance.
Step 4: Tap [Transfer] to process.
Note: You can also tap [Deposit] to fund your Visa card directly via on-chain deposit.
WEB
Step 1: Go to the Pionex website and click [Card] → [Personal Card] at the top of the page.
Step 2: On the card page, click [Transfer].
Step 4: Enter the amount to transfer or click [All] to transfer the full balance.
Step 5: Click [OK] to process.
*Note: Transferring to the Card account is equivalent to a withdrawal operation; security verification may be requested.
Auto Transfer
Auto Transfer is a card funding feature that helps ensure your Pionex Card always has enough balance to make payments. When your Pay Account balance drops below a threshold you set, the system will automatically transfer a specified amount from your linked funding sources — so your card stays ready to use without manual top-ups.
App:
Step 1: Open the Pionex App and navigate to the [Wallet] → [Card] page.
Step 2: Tap [More] and select [Auto Transfer] from the options.
Step 3: Set up the "Auto Transfer Rule Settings" and the "Auto Transfer Deduction Order Settings".
Step 4: Tap [Enable Auto Transfer] and complete the "Security Authentication" process.
Web:
Step 1: Go to the Pionex website and click [Card] → [Personal Card] at the top of the page.
Step 2: On the card page, click [Auto Transfer].
Step 3: Set up the "Auto Transfer Rule Settings" and the "Auto Transfer Deduction Order Settings".
Step 4: Tap [Enable Auto Transfer] to complete the process.
Once configured, set your preferred trigger balance and transfer amount. You can also customize the deduction order across multiple funding sources, including your Primary Account and any active Arbitrage products.
Note:
1. Once enabled, the system will automatically transfer the preset amount and debit order (priority).
2. Ensure your funding account has a sufficient balance to avoid transfer failures.
3. If a transfer fails due to insufficient balance or risk control measures, the system will automatically disable the feature and notify you.
If you wish to disable the Auto Transfer function, you can simply click [Disable Auto Transfer] on the Auto Transfer settings page.

Offline Payments
Pionex has not yet issued a physical card. However, you can link the Pionex Card to major mobile wallets for offline spending.
Example:
Apple Pay
Google Pay
Line Pay
Paypal
Alipay
Alipay HK
Wechat Pay
These wallets support Visa contactless payments at stores like convenience stores, cafés, and department stores. Refer to the Digital Wallet Setup Instructions for linking instructions.
Card Freeze & Unfreeze
If you suspect your card information has been compromised or misused, you can freeze the card immediately within the app:
APP
Step 1: Open the Pionex App and navigate to the [Wallet] → [Card] page.
Step 2: Tap [More] and select [Freeze] from the options.

Step 3: Select a freeze reason and click [OK].
*Merchants may still attempt to initiate charges (e.g., auto-renewals, system retries) even if a card is frozen. Please note that even though the payment fails, constant authorization attempts may still incur failure processing fees due to the repeated order rejects. Please contact the merchants to remove card binding and subscription to avoid this issue.
