Your Nintendo Account country decides
Nintendo eShop funds belong to your Nintendo Account, and that account has a country and currency. A card is usually accepted only by an account set to the same region. A USA card is for a US account, a Japan card for a Japanese account, and so on. To check yours, open your Nintendo Account settings on the web or look at the currency shown in the eShop on your console.
Funds usually can't be moved from one Nintendo Account to another, so make sure the right user is selected when you redeem. If several people share one console, each has their own account and balance.
EU, Germany and other European cards
We list both an EU card and country cards such as Nintendo Germany. They're separate products. Read the Terms tab on each card to see where it's valid before you choose; we can't swap a delivered card for another region, and under our Refund Policy a card bought for the wrong region by your own selection isn't refundable.
What eShop funds pay for
Your eShop balance can buy digital games, DLC, expansion passes and in-game items sold through the eShop. It can usually also pay for a Nintendo Switch Online membership. If you want a specific game rather than credit, look for it under games too, and see how to activate a game on Nintendo.
Denominations
Each card page lists fixed values in the card's own currency, along with the current prices. Values and prices change with the catalogue, so check the page on the day you buy. If you need more funds, buy two cards and redeem both.
How to redeem
On your Switch, open Nintendo eShop from the HOME Menu, select your account, choose Enter Code, type the 16-character code and confirm to add the funds. Nintendo also has a browser page, ec.nintendo.com/redeem, which its support site describes for download codes; for an eShop card, the steps Nintendo gives are the console's. The steps for your exact card are on the product page's How to redeem tab and under Show details on your order page. Full walkthrough: how to redeem Nintendo, Xbox, Netflix and Amazon cards.
Delivery
Nintendo cards normally show Instant delivery (0–24h). Delivery is usually instant, but it might take 0–24 hours in rare cases. If a card ever shows Delayed delivery (2–7 days), the site asks you to confirm before it goes into your cart.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Nintendo eShop credit with Bitcoin?
Yes. Nintendo doesn't take crypto itself, but you can buy a Nintendo eShop card on KryptoMate with Bitcoin, USDT, USDC or another listed coin. You then redeem the code on your Nintendo Account.
Will a US eShop card work on my UK Switch?
Usually not. Cards are accepted by Nintendo Accounts set to the card's region, not by the console's location. Buy the card that matches your account's country.
How long does a Nintendo eShop code take to arrive?
Most codes arrive within minutes of the payment confirming. The label on the card page allows up to 24 hours in rare cases. You'll find the code on your order page and in the order email.
Is there a fee for paying with crypto?
On-Chain shows no fee in your order summary. Other methods may add a small fee, and it's shown in the summary before you pay. Fees your own wallet or exchange charges for sending aren't included.
My code says it's invalid. What now?
Copy it again with the Copy button instead of typing it, check the selected user and account country, and try once more. If it's still refused, contact support with your order number and a screenshot. See my gift card code is not working.
