About us
Tangem is building the world's most advanced self-custodial financial platform, redefining how people store, grow, and spend digital value at global scale.
Tangem Pay extends this foundation into real-world finance. It transforms the Tangem Wallet into a full self-custodial payment account, allowing users to seamlessly move from storing value to spending it anywhere cards are accepted globally. The product is live, production-ready, and built to scale across regions, currencies, and regulatory environments.
With Tangem Pay, we are not launching "another crypto card." We are building the spending layer of a new financial system where self-custody, payments, and global usability converge.
The infrastructure is live, the partners are in place, and the roadmap is designed for rapid global expansion.
