Earning and Spending#
Dash is designed from the ground up to function as digital cash. This documentation discusses how and where Dash users can manage all of their personal finances using Dash.
Earning#
A range of services and businesses are available to convert your wage to and from Dash as you receive it. It is of course easiest to receive payment from your employer in Dash directly, however this may not always be an option. Uphold allows you to instantly and automatically convert any received deposits to and from Dash. Building on this functionality, Bitwage allows you to invoice and receive payment from any employer, practically anywhere in the world, and have a percentage of your wage immediately converted to Dash. You can then withdraw your wage to any Dash wallet for spending or saving. For more information, see the following blog posts:
Spending#
Merchant Directory#
Dash can be spent in hundreds of stores and services both online and in physical locations.
Discover Dash lists businesses around the world accepting Dash, sorted by category. It’s easy to add your business to the list, and also features a short introduction for new Dash users. The site is maintained by Dash Force, and has been featured on Dash Force News.
Debit Cards#
Debit cards work by prepaying in Dash to load the account, then withdrawing cash from an ATM or spending online or anywhere debit/credit cards are supported. The Dash is either exchanged at the time of purchase or in advance. For an overview and review of all available and upcoming cards, including cards funded by the Dash budget system, see this article on Dash Force News.
The rapidly evolving approach to regulation of cryptocurrencies such as Dash and instant exchange solutions such as ShapeShift means that availability of debit cards cannot be guaranteed in any or all jurisdictions. Check with the following providers for updates on the availability of Dash debit cards.
