How to Create your own HIVE Debit-Card with an Android Device

Hey everyone, it’s louis here. Just wanted to share something quick and useful — I made my own Hive debit card, and it actually works like a charm.

So here’s what I did. I bought a stack of blank NFC cards version 215 or 216 on Amazon, cost me around 20 to 30 cents each. Cheap and easy. You’ll want a spare Hive account for security — I used my test account loupics. Maybe create your own and call it "yourname.card" or whatever fits for you.

Now for the setup: I grabbed my private active key from Hive Keychain (Android only for now), copied it, and went to https://hivedebit.com. I clicked on “create a card,” filled in my account name and a simple PIN like 1212. Set a daily spending limit — I chose $10 just to try it out — and pasted in my private key copied from Hive Keychain. (Attention! The Key is shown as Real Text and should be invisible at this point.)

Once that’s done, I held the NFC card at the back of my phone and boom — it wrote the data instantly. Super smooth.

To test it further, I created a $2 invoice for my main account louis88, tapped to pay with the card, entered the PIN, and the payment went through immediately. No fuss. Hive magic.

That’s it. Hive debit cards — real, working, and surprisingly easy to set up.
