Title: European law cards restricted | Any debit cards that ship outside Europe?
Post by: smilyfaith on October 02, 2017, 08:10:28 AM
So, all of the cards providers that I know seems to be limited by European law on visa cards and they won't ship the cards outside Europe.
All cards outside Europe will stop working from 15th October.

Any debit card providers that ship to other countries outside Europe?

Let xapo serve you a more excellent bitcoin debit card option among all other card providers.
Xapo does not fall under europeon law impositions, thus their physical debit card service can be availed by anyone residing around supported countries.
This bitcoin card can be used anywhere at the shops and machines.

I think all visa card providers are affected including xapo.

The Debit Card has always been at the forefront of Xapo’s efforts to bring secure, Bitcoin-based financial products to users around the world.

According to Visa’s recent communication regarding different debit card programs, only customers in the European territory will be able to order new Xapo Debit Cards, effective today. In addition, Xapo must suspend service on all existing Debit Cards for users who live outside of the European territory by October 15th 2017.
