Brighty’s Key Features

There are several things you can do with Brighty.

Pay Your Way, Instantly

Brighty lets you use crypto as easily as you’d use traditional fiat currency. Just order a Brighty card (physical or virtual) and top it up with fiat like EUR, USD, GBP, stablecoins like Tether USDT $0.9966 or USD Coin USDC $0.9969 , or other cryptos such as Bitcoin BTC $87,872.71 or Ethereum ETH $2,069.14 . As of writing, Brighty supports 14 cryptocurrencies.

Once you do that, you can easily pay anywhere Visa, Apple Pay, or Google Pay are accepted using either crypto or fiat in your account. Plus, you can quickly exchange your crypto to fiat, crypto to crypto, and vice versa at competitive rates.

Grow Your Crypto in Vaults

Besides spending and exchanging, with Brighty’s earning vaults, you can make your funds grow daily. They offer up to 10.41% APY on your crypto with no locked funds. Just open a vault and deposit the supported assets into it. You can withdraw anytime, fee-free. Do note that the possible earning percentage depends on your subscription plan (more on that below).

AI Investments: Investing Made Smarter

Brighty’s AI Investment tool uses sophisticated AI-driven algorithms to offer diverse, commission-free portfolios based on sectors like Nasdaq, S&P 500, dividends, real estate, energy, and more.

These portfolios are continuously adjusted based on real-time market data, trends, and news, with past performance reaching up to 21% annually. You just have to pick a portfolio and invest in it with a single click. By the way, you can withdraw anytime.

For Businesses and Digital Creators

Now, Brighty isn't just for individual users; it's also optimized for businesses and creators. Businesses can perform crypto-to-fiat transactions, manage bulk payments via APIs, conduct OTC trades without slippage, and enjoy fast onboarding with thorough compliance.

Digital creators benefit from a specialized neobank experience, receiving payments swiftly without complex transactions. Creators can even showcase their art on custom Brighty VISA cards used by thousands across Europe, spotlighting their work through everyday transactions.

Brighty’s Pricing Plans

You can use Brighty for free, but you will not get all the benefits with the free plan, including the allowed fee-free monthly asset exchange. Here’s a comparison of its plans to give you the full picture:

Table: Brighty's Pricing Plans

As you can see, the free plan is a bit limiting and doesn’t offer the highest earning potential. So, for the full Brighty experience, it would be best to go with the Plus or the Pro plans. However, if you only need a virtual card for using your crypto as fiat, the One plan should suffice.

Regarding other fees and limits, all plans have a fiat account limit of €100,000 and unlimited crypto balances. Receiving money (crypto or fiat) is free and unlimited. Sending fiat has daily (€8,000) and monthly (€30,000) limits with low fees (lowest on Plus and Pro). Crypto transfers are unlimited, with modest transaction fees depending on the cryptocurrency network.

How to Get a Brighty Card?

It’s very easy to get a Brighty card. Just follow these steps:

• Download the App. Brighty is only accessible via a mobile app.
• Enter Your Phone Number. This will act as a base for creating your account. You’ll also have to verify it by filling in a code you’ll get via a message.
• Create a Passcode. Once you confirm your phone number, you’ll have to create a passcode. After that, you’ll also have an option to enable biometric authentication (like Face ID).
• Choose Your Country of Residence. You’ll be asked to indicate your country of residence because the conditions and services you can get depend on it.
• Verify Your Identity. You cannot use Brighty’s services without verifying your identity. To do that, you’ll have to provide an identity verification document, take a selfie, and answer a few questions.
• Order a Card. Once you’re verified, you can order your Brighty card. If you’re using the free plan, though, you’ll only be able to get the virtual card. You should get the virtual card instantly, so you can start using it for purchases immediately after topping it up.

Summing things up, Brighty blends the stability of traditional banking with the freedom and innovation of crypto, creating an approachable, secure platform for anyone looking to navigate digital finance easily and effectively.
