Title: Crypto Credit Card for the Philippines
Post by: TimStone on May 22, 2020, 02:42:09 AM
Hi there,

is there currently a company where you have a wallet and they are sending/providing Credit Card linked to the wallet for/to the Philippines.

I'm using Paymaya and Gcash already but the max limit they have is 100k per month and the CC is in PHP. (also not really a crypto wallet)

I would be looking for a card which runs in USD if possible.

I have the feeling that most of the companies only offer Credit Card to US and EU countries. Is there one which is shipping
worldwide?

Would be happy about any help and suggestions,

kind regards

We don't have that yet, at least as far as I know(no such option on Coins.ph). And if there were a crypto debit/credit card service in the Philippines, I don't think they will be shipping worldwide anyway. Looks like you have to resort to services like crypto.com if they support the country you're currently in.

Where can I get one in Manila?
Do they need KYC and FIlipino nationality or anyone can just pay and get one?

Unfortunately, crypto debit and credit card providers do not do business with us here in the Philippines yet due to the events that transpired back in 2017 wherein the said services were abused by tons of people. Currently, such services are restricted to only US/EU citizens until further notice. You can try using Paypal perhaps? Not really a crypto wallet but gets the job done if you have the cash in Paymaya/Gcash you can just transfer it over and spend it anywhere.

If you're referring to PayMaya and GCash, yes you need identification documents if you want to be able to withdraw to your bank account and if you want higher limits. If not, as far as I remember phone number and personal information will suffice.

Anyway, just check here:

Have you tried wirex? Madami ako crypto friends na nagverifiy dati sa kanila and nareceive nila yung debit card na kagaya ng mycrypto pwede mo magamit yun

to follow up here:

according to my research there are quit some companies who accept residents/citizens from the Philippines and provide wallet + credit card.

I probably will test out crypto.com and crypterium and report back. First impression is pretty good.


alternatively you can obviously get gcash mastercard and paymaya card and load them with coins.ph - i'm paying most of my daily expenses this
way and am fairly happy (i like paymaya more than gcash so far)

I am not a Filipino, I just happen to be there for biz. So with Gcash and Paymaya I would have to load them up losing on coins.ph conversion rate and fees right?

But how do Gcash and Paymaya allow people to spend cryptos? are people provided by them of a bitcoin address which when loaded automatically converts in php that goes into the card? I guess no.

Wala pa akong naririnig na direct company dito sa Pilipinas na nagooffer ng ganitong service pero as far as I know, recently lang nag Launch si Binance ng way to buy bitcoin using your credit card issued by the banks and fortunately available ang service na ito sa mga Pilipino. Well, di ko pa ito natratry pero mukang ok naman ito since ok naman ang Binance exchange.

Hello if your up for debit card or bank accounts related to buy BTC Ive posted about Binance supported our debit/credit card, here is the link: NEWS!! Maaari ng makabili ng crypto sa Binance gamit ang ating PHP fiat (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236584.0)

Regarding limit Im not sure about diyan never tried it pa. But @bisdak40 searched it and medyo mas mataas pa daw kaysa sa coinsph.

Also if your that interested. Im able to check out this project:

https://www.atom-solutions.jp/en/company

But its a Japanese company. They are offering Philippine deposit through bank but as of now they currently working on the development. Partner din nila ang Bayad Center so I guess this will tip off sooner. I advise abang lang cause Im also checking them out lately but regarding reputation of course bago pa lang so we need to some feedback once they launched and see from there.


They dont have telegram group but once they have I will ask details pertaining sa Philippine supported banks and etc.
