About the company
Fold is the best way to earn bitcoin back on everything you do. Customers can use the Fold Visa debit card, and purchase gift cards from the Fold Store, to earn bitcoin on everyday purchases. While current on-ramps are complex, expensive, and primarily built for speculators, we believe in ushering in the next wave of adoption via on-ramps built for everyone else: spenders, earners, and savers. We're a fast growing team of passionate individuals working across the country (and sometimes the world) to build products and experiences that bring Bitcoin to the rest of the world via best-in-class consumer UX and the most innovative layer two technologies.
