Title: Bitcoin Bitpay Debit Card?
Post by: viking02 on January 23, 2017, 03:54:06 AM
Does anyone use this in the US?  I read online its 9.95 to order the card.  Then you can withdraw max 750 usd each time at an ATM.  Max is 3000 usd a month.  How much are the fees to withdraw 750 usd each time? 


Also how do you transfer the bitcoin to the card?  I have an electrum wallet online.  So you transfer the bitcoin to the bitcoin address on the card or something?  And if you do, are you transferring the amount of bitcoins each time?  Or does it automatically convert to cash on the bitcoin?


Also what is the rate that would be used?  Thus if you google btc to usd rate thats the rate i use for bitcoin price.  But is the price much worst with the bitpay debit card?

I have bitpay and I can say that it's a well made and designed card. Your bitcoin wallet and your card balance is separate. You can transfer bitcoin into your wallet and then transfer the bitcoin to the card at their current exchange rate.

what country are you located?


Is the dollar amount or bitcoin amount transferred when transferring from bitcoin wallet to it?


Anyone know the fees?  Thus every $750 you withdraw, how much fees total?  What rate is generally used?

Who owns bitpay? Is it in league with any of the big exchanges?
Is it available outside of the states? Cause $9.95 is cheaper than any of the other cards that normally costs $15 to get it mailed to you.

I think its better to cashout than doing bitcoin bitpay debit card. We need first to verify what will be the best way, when you know how to use it, then you can use it as debit card. We all know that we can use bitcoin bitpay debit card, but it is too risky to make your money in danger.

I agreed with pal, your explanation was true and correct. And as far as I know,  if your interested to buy a bitpay card my idea is they are open to all country, and willing to deliver then payment them of course through bitcoin.

Can you add it to PayPal? Would definitely get the card in that case

PayPal have stopped withdrawals to cards now. I've been trying for the past hour to withdraw to my debit card. I use wirex/e-coin, they're very reliable and their fees are virtually nothing.

I think PayPal stopped accepting the bitcoin debit cards a while ago, so you are no long be able to withdraw funds from it and put them to PayPal, I started using Neteller card which is a an online bank with a credit card that cost about $25 but it is international you can fund it with anything bitcoin PayPal or any payment method out there, but the problem is they have high fees.

Bitcoin debit cards are a good idea and Bitpay is a pretty reliable service but just remember (because I got confused) that you have to convert the Bitcoin into fiat on your card before you can spend it - it doesn't just do it automatically whenever you pay.

They still allow some bitcoin VCCs, but not all. I think it's just as they detect them

i don't use bitpay debit card and i don't use any card for my bitcoin and i only use the wallet that i save it in my android phone. actually if there is a machine in my country, maybe i will apply bitpay debit card so i can use it in my country but i think it will not be available to see in this year because it needs more thing to do.
