Post by: seVell on September 08, 2015, 11:06:50 AM

Excuse me for posting in english but I think it's better than using a translator.

All replies can be in french. I'll use browser translation.

How do french banks work with bitcoin?

Is it safe to trade bitcoin with bank transfers?

Is there any french card that will work with bitcoin? Like xapo or advcash?

Is there any cards in France that could fit in what we are looking for in this thread?

Please tell me all prepaid cards that you know and how easy is to get them.

If there are please also contribute directly in that thread.

How easy do you think it would be to approach a bank and ask them to issue a prepaid card with your logo and tailored to your needs?

Anyone with experience in that field?

French banks don't work with bitcoins, only EUR or "official" currency.

Is it safe to trade bitcoin with bank transfers?
As safe as bank transfers

Is there any french card that will work with bitcoin? Like xapo or advcash?
Nope

It's already hard for french bitcoin business to get a bank accounts, so asking them to issue prepaid cards won't be easy at all...

For personal use yes but for business no.
Banks refuse to open account for Bitcoin related business.
We have to lie about it and eventually they close the account.

Please tell me all prepaid cards that you know and how easy is to get them.

What kind of prepaid cards exactly ? You mean a card where you can add BTC and pay Euros or a just a bank card you can top-up ?
Any European or American prepaid card would work in France.

You can buy anonymous prepaid card on this forum, just do a little search.
They are not always reliable, I saw all the cards from a seller getting blocked by the bank.
