After several months of development and a long battle with Apple’s ecosystem, we now have a fully functional iPhone app that brings HiveDebit to iOS with native payment and card-management features. The application is scheduled to launch before the end of March.
Current capabilities include:
Send and receive HBD or HIVE via AirDrop or SMS.
Login is required for this feature. SMS availability and delivery costs may vary depending on the user’s mobile carrier.Create invoices for a HiveDebit card and accept tap-to-pay payments.
Create invoices for a Lightning card and accept tap-to-pay payments.
Generate QR-based invoices for Lightning, HBD, and HIVE payments.
Receive real-time notifications for both incoming and outgoing transactions on the logged-in account.
Create physical cards paying with Bitcoin Lightning, HIVE, or HBD, and program them directly on the app.

Supercool. Can't wait to try this one.
I use the Crypto.com card here in Australia. It has to be the AUD to make the payment. a fiat..
Could we get a way to in-app swap HBD to fiat to use in retail or shopping? and vice versa.
With the HBD interest, I would love to put my money in HBD, and the rest I will use with the card.
Nop, in my own point of view (@jthomasewsky) I believe that if I focus on looking for fiat usability we are going to lose our cypherpunk ideas, I personally don't believe on using fiat will help us because I like the cypherpunk idea, but being honest using it will improve things, I would propose to the community under a vote to see what community thinks about, because basically I'm just a public employee, what community wants is what I will do, that's all I care about, so a consensus about it will put me in the right position to develop it or to don't do it, feel free to share your thoughts about it.
Thank you for the response.
I totally relate to the point of view, and it's what most of the Hive users motivate us to become: cypherpunk. However, until the finance world is intersected and not isolated, I still feel either auto conversion during payment or fiat can be a great use case for traction with the APP itself.
I will dissect what exists in the card world that I use. First, it's hard to make any card eligible in any country.
Selling points:
The interest on the cash balance, which comes around 5-6%.
Realistically, in the finance world, it's hard to ascertain. a cash balance of 5-6%.
Second, they offer cash-back rewards in fiat or their native currency.
Third, people use fiat currency to DCA on crypto investments.
If Hive Debit is used with 14% cash balance, it's an easy go for people to bring on investments.
Slowly, as money flows and yields begin to rise, we will see high accumulations in HBD.
It's a matter of time that would create interest pressure on HBD, or on Hive, but it serves as good traction.
awesome. does it work on android too? is there some reason why iphone only?
It will no worries, we focused on iPhone because we had this problem:
Normally on an Android device you can use NFC using just Google Chrome so you can go to hivedebit.com on an android device with NFC and will work, but on an Apple device the permissions are really different, we had a lot of iPhone users having problems with it so I focused first on iPhone than in Android because you can already use it on an Android, but I'm working on a only version for Android and for POS Android.
😎
The good project
