In order to use the CoinZoom Visa card, go into your CoinZoom App and choose which currency you want purchases to access. Once you've chosen the wallet to use, then you can use your card at an ATM or accepting merchant.
When you swipe your card, CoinZoom will confirm that there is enough available funds in your account to pay for the amount requested. If there's enough available funds, the transaction will be approved. As the transaction is approved CoinZoom will create a market order for the amount of currency to cover the purchase.
If there are not enough funds of the selected currency, the transaction will not succeed. In that case, go into the app and choose another currency that has a sufficient quantity to cover the purchase plus fees.
For some purchases, like at a restaurant where a tip is often added to the bill after the transaction is approved, the tip amount may not show on the customer's account until the next day.
The CoinZoom Card is available in 5 options which may be viewed here: https://www.CoinZoom.com/cards

What is a Pre-Authorization?
When swiping your CoinZoom Visa Debit Card, some merchants request authorization for a specified dollar amount that may be over the actual amount of the purchase. If you were to purchase a five dollar cup of coffee, for example, the merchant will automatically request five dollars. If you have enough value in your selected crypto, CoinZoom authorizes that purchase and initiates a market order for the amount of crypto to satisfy the payment.
But some merchants aren't sure how much your final purchase will be, so they request a "pre-authorization" for a dollar amount. For example, a gas pump transaction may request a "pre-authorization" for $80.00 as a way of holding enough value to make the purchase. After pumping your gas the merchant sends a "completion transaction" message with the actual amount to charge
Example of merchants where this can happen include gas stations, hotels and rental car agencies.
CoinZoom releases any pre-authorized amount from your account once the merchant gives notification with the "completion transaction" amount and the actual amount to charge. Any additional amount of the pre-authorization over the final transaction amount is then released. Sometimes settling the charge can take until the next day.
