Managing CL Card
The CL Card can be used for online purchases and payments.

You need to use the PIN code when you make the first payment with your card. You can see your PIN in the Ledger Live app.
The card supports recurring payment authorizations, however, it doesn't allow you to set up a standing order or check your balance at ATMs. Transactions requiring pre-authorization, such as those at gas stations, may also be unavailable.
An ATM will display 0 for any balance inquiries. You can see your card's correct balance in your CL account.
CL platform allows you to have up to 5 wallets, one per crypto. This means that you can link a maximum of 5 wallets to your card.
The available balance displayed for your card is an estimate. We dynamically calculate the total fiat value of your linked crypto wallets + the sum of your assets against live market rates, and then we apply our liquidation fee percentage.
Before ordering your CL Card, you need to pass a KYC and account verification process. You also need to ensure that you have enough funds in your account. In addition, you must reside in one of the supported countries.
Navigate to the Manage Card tab and check the User restrictions section for more information.

If your card has been lost, damaged or stolen, please log in to your account and navigate to Settings. You'll see the option to freeze your card and report it as lost, stolen or damaged. After that, you can order a replacement card.
Your card may be blocked if you reported it as lost, damaged or stolen. Please contact support@cl-cards.com if this is not the case or if you need further assistance.

Your total balance is tied to the value of the crypto you hold. This value, and your balance, will increase or decrease depending on the market conditions.
Managing Stableloan***
You can enter the terms of the Stableloan you want to use with the calculator—for example, the amount, term length and interest rate—and it will tell you how much crypto you need to deposit on your CL account.
CL Card will hold your crypto as security (or collateral) against the Stableloan. You will receive the full amount of deposited crypto back in your wallet as soon as you settle the Stableloan and interest payments.
Currently, you can deposit BTC and ETH as collateral.
At the moment, you can receive Stableloan in USDC, USDT or EURT.
You can keep it for 3, 6, 12 or 24 months.
You can settle the Stableloan at any time and receive collateral back in your wallet. Just keep in mind that you need to pay the full principal amount and all interest.
Every month, your wallet will be credited with the loan interest payment. If your wallet doesn’t have sufficient balance to cover interest, you can make the payment later in the Stableloans section of the Ledger Live app. Any Stableloans with late or missing interest payments will be highlighted. If you miss multiple monthly interest payments, the CL team will inform you about payment schedules and penalties.
In case there is the risk of exceeding deposited collateral or if your LTV exceeds the agreed amount, the CL team will contact you to add further collateral value and reduce the LTV.
LTV stands for loan-to-value and refers to the ratio of a loan compared to the value of an asset provided as collateral.
Loan → principal amount that a borrower receives.
Value → the value of the collateral asset that a lender receives.
If you have sufficient funds in your wallet, you can add collateral to your Stableloan in the Ledger Live app.
Yes, you can settle your Stableloan and unlock collateral at any point during or beyond the Stableloan term.
Yes. There is no limit to how many active Stableloans you can have at the same time.
