They offer debit cards that link to the full Master Card network (100.000+ ATMs., 1Mn+ points of sale). Transfers between their accounts are free.

It just takes somebody to sign up to their bulk card program, fund them and sell them for BTC.. perhaps even allowing people to recharge them with BTC...

It would be very surprising if any card even remotely linked to XBT/BTC could remain part of any existing bank/credit card network for very long. We've already seen similar attempts that were shut down before they could even launch.

It's probably the easiest tool banks have to suppress bitcoin adoption. There's no way they'll allow bitcoin to gain traction using their infrastructure.
