hi - the Web 3 Neo-Banking App today introduces a new Polygon-powered platform that enables anyone to generate an NFT using their favourite image - be that a holiday photo, a beloved pet or an online profile photo (PFP) -  and use it to customise the face of a Web 3 Debit Mastercard. Users should go to polygon.hi.com to learn how to mint their own NFT and apply for an NFT Debit Mastercard from hi.

Complete Freedom to Web3 Creators

Through a collaboration with Polygon Studios, hi’s creator platform simplifies the NFT generation process and makes it easy and fast for anyone to mint their own NFT using their favourite image. And the best bit? It’s a gasless minting experience.

To celebrate the announcement, hi are lowering the Membership Tier threshold for NFT customisation, meaning that hi Silver members and above will be eligible. Participants need simply sign up for hi and stake their native token HI in order to achieve Silver Tier status.  Initially, users in more than 25 European countries as well as the UK will have access to the customisable Debit Mastercard which rolls out later this month.

Sean Rach, Co-Founder of hi, said: “The team at Polygon are true blockchain pioneers, we are delighted to be partnering with them to explore new frontiers of Web3, particularly in the banking and payments space. Polygon NFTs are going to look just awesome on our cards, we can’t wait to welcome holders of wallets on the Polygon network to the hi community.”

The hi Crypto & Fiat Debit Mastercard is the first-of-its-kind Card program to allow NFT avatar customization on the Card and enable members to spend their digital and fiat assets at over 90 million Mastercard merchants worldwide. Packed with innovative functionality including Buy-Now-Convert-Later technology and convenient EUR and GBP top-ups via a personal IBAN, the Card allows members to earn crypto rewards while they spend as well as a number of pick-and-mix digital subscriptions and travel perks, based on their membership tier.
