Title: [HELP] Bitcoin prepaid card
Post by: boranes on March 13, 2018, 11:58:22 PM
I need it for buying in supermarkets and to withdraw money from ATM.

Suggest me one.

Only 100% verified answers please(for EU countries, if this makes any difference)

Get a Mistertango IBAN account which comes with a linked MasterCard debit card. More information on their website:

https://mistertango.com/en/

You will get a chip and pin card which you can use to withdraw money from ATMs and for purchases at merchants (yes, including supermarkets).

Opening an account is free. So is the MasterCard. You will get your own dedicated static bitcoin address which is how you deposit into the account. BTC deposits are processed automatically after 1 confirmation and immediately credited to your account in Euros.

The account also allows you to perform SEPA payments.

And for the moment this is the only card that could be recommended that is functioning without any issues. Unfortunately, the choice is not big since previous Bitcoin debit card providers still haven't found a new partner to fill the gap which was made after Visa left this market.
The only thing you should pay attention and that is negative to my experience is high Bitcoin deposit fee.

I was thinking more about service such as skrill or neteller(not a bank  :D) but they don't have options which I need, I can use their card to pay online merchants but I need card for daily use.

I didn't understand why mastercard removed their services all around world and why is card available only for EU residents, but I think I am getting picture.

With EEA regulations and sharing information between EU banks and putting all things together, if I want to use such card I will have to pay tax to my country and fees to mistertango(and lower exchange rates than bitstamp has) and it looks like larger waste of money than just withdrawing money to bank account and only paying tax.  :-\

Thanks for answer.  :'(
