Deposit From Polygon

Mar 1, 2025·By Jarvis

You can fund your Based card from Polygon with USDC or XSGD. Open Deposit in the Cards tab, pick Polygon as the network, and send your token to the address shown. After that it's spendable like any other card balance.

The token you send decides the currency you hold. USDC is stored as USD and XSGD is stored as SGD, and you can swap between the two in the app. If you spend mostly in Singapore dollars, depositing XSGD skips a conversion. For background on the dollar stablecoin, see What is USDC.
