Shakepay.co is in beta, but they have both virtual and physical debit card.
Their cards can be loaded with ETH and BTC :)
Although their cards are created by Wavecrest.

You have TenX and Monaco which are new (I believe they both started shipping) and it seems like UQUID offers one too. (same card as the BTC one but different deposit methods If I understood).

There are few Bitcoin Debit Card provider who don't use Wavecrest as their supplier.
There are Wagecan, even though their card works worldwide their prices are insane.
I heard Bitsler cards works worldwide, meaning that they found a new supplier for their cards :)
Another one is SpectroCoin, although verification is a must to create a card.

These are interesting informations for me, I thought there are no debit cards that support Ethereum, only Bitcoin. When I think about it it makes sense but also requires extra infrastructure so maybe not so many providers would offer such services. It's depending also on the estimated number of users. And probably similar like with Bitcoin debit cards the majority of them would be limited to EU citizens.

Yes all cards including one provided by spectrocoin, uquid, cryptopay and many more with wavecreast as card issuer can't be delivered outside EU and you need to be EU citizen to order one of them.

There is one card that can be delivered worldwide named as wagecan but have really high fees + they are only bitcoin based card and don't support ETH from what I know.

It is a nice website, and they have a good product, but it has not been developed yet, and that is the main reason of why a lot of people are not aware of this.

And they didn't make a huge marketing strategy, i was not aware of this website, i discovered it yesterday with a deep looking over a few forums.

Shakepay.co is in beta, but they have both virtual and physical debit card.

TenX is going to release a card that can be loaded with bitcoin, ethereum, ripple and so many other cryptos, but you need to wait because they haven't developed it yet.

Another possible way to use ETH to fund a debit card is a Bitcoin debit card.

You can simply order one of the many available Bitcoin debit cards (e.g. Bitpay in the US
or Bitwala in Europe) and then convert your ETH using Shapeshift or Changelly in order to fund your card.
Of course you have to take into account that this likely results in another ~1 % in exchange fees in addition
to the fees charged by the Bitcoin debit card provider.

Nonetheless, this seems like an easy solution, which would really expand your possible options.
Because as the previous posters pointed out there arenīt really many Ethereum debit cards as of now.

I want to have that too, but for now i can only used bitcoin debit card to shop and it os good if we have ethereum debit card also we will have a choice every time we purchase in supermaket, we should monitor the value of two coin to determine which wallet is best to used at the time of purchasing items.

I tried TenX Before, but their website seems shoddy so I didn't even bother with them.
Do they even have topic on this forum?

Try Uquid, although I dont use them personally.

I've read from somewhere that Wirex had their card integrated with ShapeShift, so yeah I think you can use that too.

Tenx will be your option to have as the physical debit card option. I do not suggest the ethereum payment option in real stores. Already many sites like bitpay and spectro and all give a way to use the bitcoin debit card to access on the ATM or real store purchase but none of the project does not goes bigger in the debit card platform.
However payment API are little bit fine and some certain amount of people use it.

Seriously? Uquid? they are the worst crypto debit card that has ever existed, their card is full of bugs, it is much more bugged than Wirex (and wirex is the worst card that exists right now)

Be careful, choosing the right debit card for cryptos might be a difficult task.

if you live outside the Europe, you are probably never going to get your  card in there, because almost all the other countries are blocked by WaveCrest (the card provider)

But recently many exciting cards stopped working outside European countries. I was using XAPO card and now looking for one which can work in Asia.

Will these TenX and Monaco work in worldwide to withdraw money from ATM or just in few countries? I saw Monaco card pic which shows VISA symbol means it may not work outside European countries.

There are more than 10 ETH debit card providers. I personally like UQUID for ETH and other crypto cards. For more on this read best ETH debit cards (https://coinfunda.com/best-ethereum-debit-cards-shop-anything-with-your-eth-balance/).

Most of them also support other cryptocurrencies which is actualy the only profitable way.
Bitcoin debit cards are functioning just well but for credit card issuers isn't profitable to have the card for each coin so they combine them, usualy with Bitcoin.
I think cryptocurrencies cards business is a growing area and we can expect new products each day.

Tenx doesn't ship the cards worldwide, they ship cards to only some countries. you can find list of countries here(https://mychoicecorporate.com/visa-card-issuance-list/).

Uquid shouldn't be on that top five list, they the worst card provider i've dealt with.
