How do round-ups work with the Bitstack Card?

The Bitstack Card round-ups are a separate feature from the classic round-ups available through bank account syncing. Both share the same principle: rounding each purchase up to the nearest euro and saving the difference in Bitcoin. However, they work differently.


How do I enable or disable the Bitstack Card round-ups?

  1. Go to the Cash tab

  2. Tap Total round-ups in the Savings plan section

  3. Enable or disable the round-up

Once enabled, the round-up applies automatically to every payment made with your Bitstack Card.


How do the Bitstack Card round-ups work?

Every time you make a payment with your Bitstack Card, the difference between the transaction amount and the next euro is automatically converted into Bitcoin.

Example: you pay €7.40 → Bitstack rounds up to €8.00 and converts €0.60 into Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin conversion takes place when the payment is confirmed by the banking network. If you have enabled notifications, you will receive a real-time alert.


What are the fees?

The Bitstack Card round-ups include no conversion fees.


The multiplier

You can amplify your round-ups by activating a multiplier: 1×, 2×, 5×, or 10×.

Example with a 5× multiplier: you pay €7.40 → the base round-up is €0.60 → Bitstack converts €3.00 into Bitcoin.

The multiplier stays in place until you change it.
