So many VISA related crypto payment cards out there.

Which is the one you think is the best and why?

There's no "best", not at all. And the comparison is very difficult.
Let's see..

* Monaco seems to be the first to deliver the cards. But that's all. I don't see clear list of fees, limits and rewards and I don't know what exchange rates will use.
* Minex will deliver very soon too. They do have the list of fees, but Bitcoin has even a "replenish fee" when Minex Coin doesn't, but you may lose more at the exchange if you use MNX. Hard to tell..
* TenX has wonderful promises, but no card for now.

As I said, hard to compare with no data...

Yes without data it will be difficult to clear up the trading structure and volumes of these cards.

Which countries has Monaco sent its cards to?

I didn't find any info on this on their site. From what I understood, in the countries the card doesn't work you should not be able to install their app.

I dont know untill which level the development of these project now, and i dont know their product is already live for public or not yet. And now iam interesting to see other similar project that allow to pay good and service easyly by cryptocurrency, and this project already has live product and used in some cafe and restaurant, this project is Pundi x.

Someone mentioned in another thread that Monaco sent zero cards out to any user in any country.

Monaco seems a failed project because its team is useless. About other card does anyone have any information?

well, there ar eof course a kot od them, but i doubt that all of them are great , isp need some time to find the answer out

it is okay to look fotr answrrs, so i wodh you good luck and thank you for your opinion, i will take it into consideration

These are too different ones at all. It is hard to compare them because each of them has it own main advantage as other members have mentioned.

If you know at least one crypto project with working card please let me know. I know only one company that had working call but it is centralised - epayments. But they had to freeze the issue of new cards a while ago. Waiting for the resumming it again.

Kris Marszalek is CEO of Monaco Card but once the CEO of Ensogo. A simple search engine will show you why he was forced to resign from it. Anything with his fingers on it does not warrant me either investing in it or using it as a product.

It is very difficult to get a full-scale support from the Visa or MasterCard. The reason is their non-hedging to use coins as a means of calculation or conversion. I would, if I were in your place, pay attention to projects like Pundi X, where a terminal will be created that will be used together with Visa and MasterCard, but also use crypto currency.

Yes, agree that PundiX have better prospects for success to and i can recommend to look for FuzeX with their digital assets with one Smart & Secure e-Card Solution.

I never heard of Pundi X and FuzeX before. I need to research them.

This really depends on what you are interested in.

Are you interested in using those cards yourself?
Then that's easy, find the one that has cards for your jurisdiction.
That means basically, NONE of them!
Unless you are singaporean.  There are promises to roll them out in Europe in some fantasy future but don't hold your breath.
And if you're american, haha, just give up.
Also, why would you want to pay microtransactions in bitcoin?  It's way too volatile.

If you are interested in investment.
Historically, TenX has done the best.
But all of the crypto debit cards companies have proven to be terrible investments in the mid to long term.
With regulations getting more difficult, I don't see it getting any better.

So basically, stay away from these companies.

Pundi was creating a payment system to be used by the merchants to adopt the cryptocurrency and it looks a bit different than all of card projects.

OP, i have ordered a tenx pay card but this almost a half of year and i still not yet get my card to be delivered. It looks like none of them have released the card

STK (Stack) has a 5 year agreement with Mastercard and is sending out cards as we speak.  THey are starting in Canada and moving to USA at the end of the year.  No klunky machine sending like Pundi X.  I feel like you guys are looking at the hype coins and missing the coins with the actual agreement with the big boys.  

All of them has own pluses but I think that Tenx will be the first with the appearence of its card. It is so promising way that I am ready to join to it even now.

Monaco is on the cusp of a GLOBAL card rollout, fully approved by VISA. There are already 50,000+ approved card sign-ups with no marketing - think about that. Also, TenX just had their cards shutdown by VISA due to non-compliance - look up Wavecrest issue. Furthermore, Monaco offers better exchange rates, significantly higher cashback and a premium metal card. Monaco don't charge any fees: no one-off or monthly fees, no annual fees, no delivery fees.

I posted this a little while ago on a different thread but will post here too.

Regardless of the situation with TenX it does not mean Monaco is a good investment. With people such as Kris Marszalek as CEO I would never invest in or believe in Monaco  ::)
