Handy list but Revolut isn't a crypto card. You can't deposit or withdraw real crypto, all you can do is buy price exposure through their app. The purpose of these cards is to exchange and spend. That does not.

If I'm not mistaken, the only card available worldwide is Paycent.

- Coinsbank cards are not available anymore (I believe it's been a while): https://coinsbank.com/cards
- TenX is only offering cards to Singaporeans (for now): https://support.tenx.tech/hc/en-us/articles/360048278332-What-are-the-currently-supported-countries-
- Coinbase card is only available in EU and UK (https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/trading-and-funding/other/coinbase-card-faq). The link you posted is meant to be for the exchange platform and not the card.
- Wirexapp supports EU, UK and a couple of countries from the APAC region. See here: https://wirexapp.com/help/article/the-list-of-supported-countries-0027
...

A couple of cards you can add:

- Spendl: It's a virtual card that can be loaded with LN. AFAIK, it's available everywhere except for the U.S.
- Swipe: It's backed by Binance (Not to be confused with binance card). EU and UK.

Great work Ratimov, I am bookmarking this topic!
It is true that privacy is reduced using crypto debit cards, but we are still living in a world and people need to buy and pay things.
I would suggest keeping only small amounts of coins in cards.

Maybe adding countries that are not supported would be good.

Yes. That one's an important one. Unlike the old Wavecrest cards, where they clearly didn't give a shit and proved it too, most of these have extremely limited availability outside the usual places.

Probably the most important bit of info. It'll save many a hope being dashed.

Bitcoin Black Card   

INFO:

Card Type - MASTERCARD
Production Cost - 0.06 BTC
Supported Coins - BTC
Supported Countries - Worldwide (not US)
Service fee - $0 (mothly)
Fees - $0
ATM Withdraw - $0
Wallet Availability - YES

OP I think this Bitcoin Black Card should be removed from the list.
There is no information about that card and website is directing to some altcoin called BitcoinBlack that has no connection with real Bitcoin BTC.
I am not sure if this is  a scam, but it sure looks like that on first look.

This is not necessary, just like listing which cryptocurrencies do not support these cards. The list will turn out to be ultra-large. Many services contain information with the list of countries, if there is no country there, it means it is not supported, and there is no point in listing it.

Not necessarily because the ban is usually based on regions and not specific countries. You could just write OFAC (https://www.wm.edu/offices/techtransfer/ExportControls/Regulations/OFAC/index.php#:~:text=Currently%2C%20sanctioned%20countries%20include%20the,Sudan%2C%20Syria%2C%20and%20Zimbabwe.), MENA (https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/europe-middle-east/middle-east/north-africa#:~:text=MENA%20countries%20consist%20of%20Algeria,United%20Arab%20Emirates%20and%20Yemen.), EEA (https://www.gov.uk/eu-eea#:~:text=Austria%2C%20Belgium%2C%20Bulgaria%2C%20Croatia,%2C%20Slovenia%2C%20Spain%20and%20Sweden.), etc.

If there is no time to search, I can suggest using this link. There is complete information about the countries where this or that card is supported.
https://www.publish0x.com/crypto-thoughts-in-a-crypto-world/crypto-debit-cards-an-overview-and-comparison-of-existing-op-xxonqow

I can also say that if someone is worried about the issue of anonymity, then there are offshore cards, for example, AdvCash. Working with them, the cardholder is not threatened that the bank will be able to demand the sources of money and suspend operations with the card.

Very useful information for those who are interested in cards, and many see this as the easiest way to spend their crypto. Although I haven't checked every service, I think it would be useful to add information on whether all of these services require a KYC card before issuing the card.

I assume that is the case, so it would be good to warn all those who use their crypto in this way to be aware that even if they use a card issued in another country, it does not mean that their tax office cannot get their data and ask them to explain the origin of crypto and to pay taxes.

Just as important is to emphasise how flaky many of these card services have been in the past. Most are at the mercy of other service providers who may pull the cards without any notice.

You have to treat these as the hottest of hot wallets. Load and spend. Do not linger, don't leave anything on them and don't run anything important in your life through them.

I remember when the first Bitpay card shut down, along with all the other ones provided by the same company. There was literally no notice. There were people tweeting Bitpay who had thousands of dollars on the card and they were halfway across the world and that was their only spending option.

Very good thread and IMO it was something that was missing from the forum. Well done Ratimov, bookmarked and watching! 8)
Still, I notice that you have in the Temporary Unavailable cards some which aren't unavailable, like Binance or Swipe.
Also, 3 cards in this list doesnt have the full info details like all the others. Bitplastic, Coinzoom and Swipe.

Maybe a good addition will be which one of them is requiring KYC/AML verification (like Lucius said earlier), since some of them aren't so clear about their proccedures.

Just as any crypto exchange can close overnight and disappear with user funds, so can any service that offers something like this. Although I personally don't need a card like this because I have the option to sell crypto on my local exchange and withdraw fiat to a bank card, or to sell it directly at a physical crypto exchange - this may be the only way for some to sell their crypto, so they have to accept any risk that comes with it.



Maybe a good addition will be which one of them is requiring KYC/AML verification (like Lucius said earlier), since some of them aren't so clear about their proccedures.

I highly doubt that any of the presented card is without KYC, and if by any chance this is not initially required, any major conversion of crypto to fiat will certainly activate that requirement - because otherwise it would be a very obvious way to launder money and avoid paying taxes.

I dought it as well but it's a fact that some card providers don't need full KYC verification since they backed clients funds from their own budget/ pocket/ corporate fund.
That's why the have specific limits that follow KYC verification level eg. you can't be an unverified user and send or spend more than $2k.
Launder money and avoid taxation is different things, even if sometimes are connected since it can't be done differently.
IMO the basic and simpler ways to launder money, it's obvious and pretty known already. Same for avoiding taxes, despite that every country has some differences from another.
Minimize taxation even "avoiding" it (meaning 0 tax fees) though can be done legally and without using laundry technics. There are the so-called "tax havens" and depending on the budget that someone wants to "spend"/ invest for making it, it can go to 0 tax fees.

Nice list.
In the past there was similar topics, for example (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1242788.0), which aren't maintained anymore. Some services are risky that's why I suggest to add the bitcointalk link to each one so members can check if there is scam accusations against it or not. I also recommend to specify whether the cards are plastic / virtual to make the list more complete  ;)

Edit:
After checking few of these services
Spectrocoin has a flag and uquid seems dead.

Problem with most of debit cards that can be used for crypto is that they can suspend your account whenever they want and freeze your coins if they consider any crypto transaction is suspicious.
If you read terms before signing up for one of this cards you will find more information about this and see they can close your account whenever they want.
Please beware of this before signing for any card.


Title: Re: [BIG LIST] Crypto Debit Cards
Post by: dkbit98 on October 11, 2020, 07:02:40 PM
Just like any centralized exchange, just like any centralized stablecoin. With this approach, you should give up half of the entire cryptogo industry, because they can freeze your account at any time.
My point was to warn people to read what they sign like I did, and use this cards only for small amount of coins for spending and shopping and don't keep all of them on this card or in exchanges.

Very nice job! I was hoping for an alive and (closer to) up-to-date thread about cards. Hats off for the effort, OP.

There are things to fix here and there, they'll always be, I guess. From what I know Binance cards work only as virtual cards now, they are not printed yet (btw, a mention about virtual cards is important, some look only for such services), TenX are very slow - although they say they are available in Europe many of EU people waiting their cards have still received nothing...

However, it is a list people can start with their research for what card is best for them.

This is true, but you can add link for every card directing to list of not supported countries for every card website.
Reason for this is that I tried t test and register some cards you listed here with worldwide support, just to find out only one or two countries are supported.
I think you can agree that Worldwide is not one or two countries :)
Blockcard for example is only supported in US atm, and for some of the other cards it is similar situation, and for some cards are not even available yet.

I still recommend everyone to check the bitcointalk topics of each service and the trust of the promoters in addition to the presence of an active flag to avoid being scammed rather than limiting your search in the reviews since sometimes it is a paid one...
For example:
advcash https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1011381.0 (clean)
Spectrocoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577176.0 (active flag + 4 negative default trust)

I also has same issue .

I did applied (past) for advcash card but they blocked my account first when I contacted them they said some suspicious activity happens in my account. After giving me my account back they blocked my account after few weeks again and this time I didn't contacted them.
They just ask you to contact that or that person.

Paycent also has some problem with their card payment.

Crypto Debit Card from the Fold that collaborates with Visa: Fold Visa Card.

The Fold Card is a debit card that gives bitcoin prizes to its users. Of course, this card allows its users to top up their balance using bitcoin.

5.10. The Company shall continuously conduct due diligence procedures pertaining to its Customers and scrutinize transactions carried out by them to ensure these transactions’ compatibility with the Company’s knowledge of its Customers, their business and, when necessary, their source of funds.

No surprises here, that's one of the reasons why they ask for KYC to access most of their services, and have low transaction limits for unverified users.

Just as important is to emphasise how flaky many of these card services have been in the past. Most are at the mercy of other service providers who may pull the cards without any notice.

Good point. OP could add info how long a specific service has been around.

From the link OP has posted I can see:

non-Euro purchase   3% of the transaction’s value
ATM Transaction with Foreign Exchange   3% +2.25 EUR
Monthly card management   1.25 EUR

This is worse than "old" Wirex, while even Wirex is updating now towards 0 monthly fee and no FX fees if one receives the new MasterCard.
Binance also claims to have no monthly or FX fees.
AdvCash has the 3%, but at least no monthly fee.

So from my knowledge TRASTRA is overly expensive. (If I'm wrong please correct me.) UI/UX is not everything.

Coinbase Card launches in the US.

With this card, you can make purchases on the Internet and in stores, using crypto for this, and there is also a 4% cashback on the card in the form of crypto rewards. 4% are rewards in Stellar Lumens (XLM), for Bitcoin only 1%.

Details here: https://blog.coinbase.com/coinbase-card-launches-in-the-us-8608e72cd0b5

those cash back levels look less attractive when you look at the fine print---2.49% per transaction to liquidate crypto. that's high even for coinbase's regular (non-pro) service. i guess people won't care if they're realizing huge capital gains, but i hope people don't start using this as a day-to-day spending card without realizing how much coinbase is pocketing.

if you could trade on coinbase pro and then spend that USD or USDC value with the card (without incurring liquidation fees of course), then this would actually look tempting.

Same rates as the cards already available in other countries. That's a beefy rate but others like Wirex hide theirs with a spread. I guess it's more relevant in the US where banking is so painfully stone age. In Europe you sell and send to your bank account and it's done in an hour or less so I guess the main market there is for people worried about their bank getting arsey.

does coinbase give users the bid/ask spread on coinbase pro? do they not charge a spread on top? i've never actually used it. i only ever signed up for the zero fees when they launched GDAX. their regular platform is such a ripoff and i see this as an extension of that.

in my experience with coinbase, ACH transfers hit your bank account on the 2nd day. if you're willing to pay for a wire, then next day. it's not that bad, certainly not enough to justify the liquidation fee + ATM fee IMO.

Never bothered to check. I have a GBP Coinbase card but I've only used it once. I sure as shit hope they don't load the spread on top of charging 2.5% but you never know.

I received and activated my Bitpay Debit Card (MasterCard) on Thursday.  I could not do the activation via the Bitpay app on my phone, so I had to call the 1-855-xxxxxxx number.  Next was loading the card with BTC (looks like the only way, easily anyway, to load the card is from the Bitpay app), it converts to US$ and then does not vary (US$).

I then used the card to buy a book and afterwards pull $20 from an ATM, all went smoothly.  

I did not have the time nor inclination to calculate fees, but they were apparently not exorbitant, but I will pay more attention the next time I use the card.  I believe the limit on CA$H withdrawal from an ATM is a pretty decent $1000 per ATM visit.  I also believe I read that you can have up to $25,000 loaded on it.  That high limit on the card might come in handy if you are traveling and bump-up against your limits on any other cards you may have (assuming you can send BTC to it).

So far, so good.


Edit: KYC documents uploads are mandatory.

I think it contains outdated information. AFAIK Xapo cards are no more 2 years ago and Uquid is dead for example. That's what I noticed when checking the site fast.

I will edit my post when I find this spreadsheet. BTW, I personally have used the Crypterium debit card and debit card from Dsx globals(Epayments partner). Cryptopay info is not transparent on the website, I have used the Russian number for registration and send the documents for verifying the account but they have blocked my account. After a few emails, the support team has refused the global card shipping and it is not available(AFAIK). Will be better to check it on the official thread.

Not all of them can "do" that.
Current Wirex doesn't, but afaik the "new one" they already advertise will do that too.
AdvCash doesn't do that.
Binance, on the other hand does that nicely.

So not all have such a feature, you have to read and ask around when you acquire a crypto card.
I guess that at some point in future all (or almost all) will do this, though.

https://spectrocoin.com/en/countries.html (  do not send cards to my country, but they put my parents on that list, I had to contact support and they will confirm that they do not send a card to my country )

OP I think you need to fix this and also from what I see there are no cards that are sent to any corner of the world (except for the paycent that uses Chinese cards)

Since, I believe, 2015 anything denominated in EUR has absolutely no way to be worldwide, but strictly confined to EEA citizen or permanent resident at least. All those services will gladly firtst take all of your verification data before letting you know that you're not eligible (the reason why all these benchmarking takes about them are awful).  True, some of them may let you hold the account open with constraints on usage that render the whole service basically useless, but in no way will they let you have a debit card outside of EEA.

Dunno where the production cost is shown but am I the only one finding that 100 EUR for it is ridiculous? I know there is very few services offering more but I recommend to avoid it unless a necessity since it claims to operate in most countries. Otherwise I didn't find reviews for it, TTM stands for to the moon bank apparently

Yes, the price is, to put it mildly, overpriced. And also there is a restriction on some countries in terms of accepting an internal passport for passing KYC. Only international passport.

I registered and tried to create an order. They require payment immediately, even before passing KYC, this is of course a little strange. Or I didn't understand something. :-\
Clear, thanks. I wasn't able to see it since I didn't register there but yeah normally you should pass KYC then you can order the card. There will be for sure people failing to pass it and they will lose their money in that way. That should be considered as a flag imo :-\

Russia and Turkey citizens have the right to a plastic or virtual card in Advcash, at least with their corresponding currency if not in Euro or USD. The remaining countries will be able to use international cards in few months "normally".
There is ezzocard that offers anonymous virtual cards with huge fees and not working with every site afaik so use it at your own risk (of losing money).
I made an exhaustive research and as far Advcash seems the best (future) solution for non-EEA citizens..

Advcash is good for online shopping and paying some bills, but there are very small withdrawal limits, per month for Russian citizens it is allowed to withdraw $500 only in cash. To consider it as a full-fledged crypto debit card with such restrictions has not yet been possible. :-\
Yeah I am not aware of all restrictions about withdrawal but it is usable as an online payment method which is what most people want.
If someone is trying to withdraw crypto to cash, he can do it without using Advcash or other payments solutions. There is a way to send western union or moneygram or even a bank transfer from crypto to cash. I will not advertise it here since I didn't try it but it is possible to avoid those kinds of limits.

Not everything is so simple, in Russia they like to block such transfers and the only way to avoid this is to cash out the crypt through such cards. For me personally, Russian banks blocked such crypto transactions a couple of times, moreover, together with the card and the funds that were on it.

Therefore, using the methods you listed for cashing out cryptocurrency in Russia is not always safe.
Dunno how things are going on Russia but I will give you an example that I used recently.
I sent few days ago the equivalent of 150 USD in bitcoin to an exchange and received ~110 USD in my Neteller balance. Obviously there was no crypto involved in this for Neteller, although it is allowed there, it was a transfer from USD to USD but the guy accepted bitcoin in exchange of USD.
Same goes for bank transfer, Western Union and Moneygram, there is no crypto involved in this for authorities/banks, the guy/company exchange it as a p2p. I didn't try this latter method yet so can't guarantee it.
Dunno if you understood me Ratimov. The main problem remains from where come this money and for what? You don't know the guy or the company that sent it and in exchange for what, remains the main problem... That's why I prefer to use Neteller for the moment and Advcash in the near future when international cards will be available.

Everything Ratimow said applies to Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is impossible to withdraw funds without a crypto debit card. Banks block all money coming from crypto exchanges. And I'm looking for a crypto card that works in non-EU European countries. If anyone knows let me know.



I slightly added the list of Crypto Debit Cards.
Crypto Debit Card from the Fold that collaborates with Visa: Fold Visa Card.
https://support.foldapp.com/hc/en-us/sections/360010926251-Fold-Visa-Card
The Fold Card is a debit card that gives bitcoin prizes to its users. Of course, this card allows its users to top up their balance using bitcoin.

Reference: https://foldapp.com/card/

Paycent also has some problem with their card payment.
Another complaint about using the Paycent Card:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2173711.1720

I was also deceived by Paycent thieves. First, the Paycent card didn't work for me. Before that, I noticed that PayCent Union Pay card was no longer in my Paycent account. I had a certain amount of dollars on it. They kept telling me to try at other ATMs and none ATMs of them recognized the Paycent card as operational. All ATMs supported UnionPay. Then I couldn't even transfer dollars from my PayCent account to that card because it's no longer in my account. I also couldn't exchange $ in ETH and put them back in my ETH wallet because there is no such option on the Paycent app. PAY ATTENTION TO THIS - ONCE WHEN YOU SEND ETH TO A PAYCENT ACCOUNT, YOU CANNOT RETURN ETH AGAIN. I send again a few e-mails and customer support kept promising to send me back my dollars converted back to ETH. They never are. PayCent thieves.

It may worth mentioning that Wirex is ending the current VISA cards and started sending out their new MasterCard. In theory the fees will be different too.

And it may worth adding to the list OWNR prepaid VISA card (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5322881), and maybe their "coming soon" virtual card too.

I apologize for the late response but as I said before I'm afraid none of the services listed here offers that. If you don't mind using prepaid (non-reloadable) cards then you can check Coinsbee, they offer VCCs (up to 1000$) but make sure to read the warnings first, users have reported some issues with the cards before.

Hey Omega, are you aware/using any service that offers a reloadable virtual card (with crypto of course) for most countries? Something like Advcash, which unfortunately is still limited for a region for quite long time now.. In the list I can't find an attractive one.

It is a physical card that will be sent to you which is related to a third party (individual) that you can use with a certain (normal) limits. Hhampuz which is a reputable DT member left him a positive trust since he was an escrow of some of this transactions. Do your own search and think whether it is necessary to use this service or not.

Although there are few shops which simply decline the Binance card, it's a great card. It has basically no fees and high limits.
The fee is 0.9%, but unless you withdraw from ATM, you'll get 1% cashback as BNB so basically there's no fee.
Forex exchange is at VISA rates with no extra fees. No monthly fee. No other fees.

Alternatively, a bank account like Fidor with easy access to Kraken (if Fidor allows internet banking). I live in Germany.

Not sure if I fully understand what you mean by "bank". There is some online services that offers plastic or virtual cards, allow sepa transfer and other options depending from the service itself and from your location. Take a look on advcash, you can use it in pc, you can register there and see if it is suitable for you or not before doing KYC.

If the operations you need (from PC/browser) are only sending crypto to account, maybe conversion to fiat, top up the card and also checking the transactions, Binance and AdvCash clearly have that, I think that even Wirex has it.

Yes, that is the ultimate back-up option. However, I find banks go completely loopy over transfers from crypto exchanges, call you up and I just want to avoid the hassle and only work with institutions which are mainly focused on the crypto thing (i.e. not high-street banks).

Bitwala would be ideal, but only works on a smartphone. I would like to find something like Bitwala, but which works on a PC...

This is incorrect. I don't remember what are the requirements to get the card, but at least afterwards you can do everything from the browser.
And you need that only if you want to do the exchanges by hand. The new Wirex can convert automatically, so all you have to do is get the top up crypto address(es) and fund from time to time from your crypto wallets.

It looks like a lot of the cards in the OP are still listed as being only available to European citizens. Coinbase definitely now allows Americans to have their Debit Card (I have one) and they offer 1% back in BTC or 4% back in XLM.  The card looks quite nice, although I still prefer the look and feel of my Apple Card.  Getting crypto back for spending fiat is great though and I've finally found a reason to hold a stablecoin (considered fiat in this statement).  There wasn't any cost associated with receiving the card and no fees, so I don't see why anyone with a Coinbase account wouldn't have one of these sitting around.

In fact we are talking about a new Xapo service, it is now a digital bank (based on Gibraltar), like Neteller for example. It offers a bank account, a vault and a debit card for $150 annual fees.
Pro: card is available worldwide apparently with almost no fees.
Con: $150/year, no virtual card?
I don't count to join them with such rate..

It appears to be Mastercard according to the image in the main page over "More than just a debit card".
Well for countries, they didn't precise anything other than this
Code:
Xapo is prohibited from transacting with individuals, companies and countries that are on prescribed sanctions lists. Xapo will therefore screen against United Nations, European Union, UK Treasury and US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions lists in all jurisdictions in which we operate
and this
Code:
Xapo is headquartered in Gibraltar. However, due to the nature of our global offering, we have operations throughout the world, including but not limited to, North America, South America and Asia. We transfer your data to countries outside the European Economic Area (“third countries”) to the extent that is necessary in order to perform our services requested by you.

Update concerning ADVcash: for the rest of the world, you can now (if available in your country) order a plastic ADV Global card or a plastic ADV Crypto World card for $95 + fees ~$30-60/year. Fees details can be checked in your accounts.
https://www.advcash.com/en/solutions/card/ (https://www.advcash.com/en/solutions/card/)

Pro: available in many countries normally in addition to Europe
Cons: no virtual card? + higher fees for global users comparing to Europe
I asked in ADVcash topic here about the virtual card for global users, hope it will be available with reasonable fees.

Xapo has restarted issuing debit cards. somebody please review it.
I don't think that Xapo card is yet released for every country, except maybe for beta testing purposes , but it should happen this year with relaunching of their digital bank.
I can't fins any page with fees but charging $150 annual fees is a bit to much in my opinion when compared with other card competition.

What is the difference between ADV Global card and ADV Crypto World card?
I see that ADV Crypto World card have 0.75% currency exchange fee, and ADV Global card have no fees, so I am not sure if both of them accept Bitcoin/crypto, or one of them is just for fiat currencies.

Normally both cards can be topped from your ADVcash account so accepting bitcoin. ADV Crypto World is mentioned to have multiple load options but I can't tell which.
The main difference I noticed is in fees between both cards and the validity time. You have to login to get more details about them. Personally I am not very interested in plastic cards so I didn't dig further :)

Here are all the differences between the two cards[1][2]. The Global one (which is a UnionPay card) is cheaper (when comparing maintenance fees) however I find that the "Crypto world" card is better since it's a Visa and can be used anywhere. As for the card issuance fee, then the price looks reasonable to me considering that they're using DHL for delivery.

I've also asked the support about the virtual card, and they said they currently have no information about it.

Did something change regarding the providers of the cards? Why are more services starting to accept the rest of the world all of a sudden?

I already asked about virtual cards in advcash topic here and got this answer:

Hi, I see advcash updated its card and included ADV Global and ADV Crypto World which is a great move although comparing to Europe, fees are higher. I wonder know why global virtual card wasn't included? and when it will be available? Thanks.
Fees are always higher if you compare internationally available products with EU-only products, this works for basically any such platform. The economics of international USD cards is quite different, and the fees reflect that.

It depends on the card vendor what kinds of cards they offer. These vendors do not have virtual cards at the moment, but if and when they do, we will be happy to consider adding them as well.

Did something change regarding the providers of the cards? Why are more services starting to accept the rest of the world all of a sudden?
There is only few services accepting the rest of the world and AFAIK only advcash released new cards in the last couple months although they launched it in the past then stopped and changed providers before accepting it again.

Xapo's card, Advcash, B21.io (not all, but about ~80 countries which is more than most of the services out there), and you also have the big giant Revolut who are soon going to start supporting more countries. That's why I've been wondering if there were any new laws that helped all these services go worldwide, or it's just a coincidence.

I had the Binance plastic card for a few months. It worked w/o issues on every shop I tried it, online and at a POS, except for a Tamoil gas station where it was rejected despite the card held 180€ at the time, all deposited as EURO. The self-service pump first displayed "pin code correct", and then "transaction denied".

Conveniently Binance sends an instant email whenever an online merchant tries to charge the card for an amount greater than the card's balance.

At the time of a transaction, the 0.9% fee is levied only if a cryptocurrency conversion is required to rise enough EURO to complete the payment, otherwise the fee is null. My first and last instance of letting the card automatically convert from crypto to EURO applied a terrible or buggy conversion rate, like 50% worse than the spot price.

My Binance card is denied by a small number of shops, the most known being the Lidl group (both inside or outside my country).
But I've got used by that, the old Wirex, when it was also issued by Contis, had the same problem. So it's not a Binance issue, it's a Contis issue.

My first and last instance of letting the card automatically convert from crypto to EURO applied a terrible or buggy conversion rate, like 50% worse than the spot price.

I use seldom the auto-conversion, exactly because I've noticed something odd with the conversion rate, but I cannot tell how bad it was when I've noticed it. But I don't have enough "data" to say more, maybe others use the auto-conversion more and can tell?

Australian Crypto Exchange Coinjar has released a new cryptocurrency debit card backed by Mastercard.

Ann here: https://blog.coinjar.com/digital-coinjar-card/

https://www.coinjar.com/au/card

The card supports more than 30 cryptocurrencies, with a conversion commission of only 1%. The card is available in both physical and digital form. You can pay with the card wherever Mastercard is supported, as well as withdraw cash from ATMs. The issue of the card is free in any form, and the fees are acceptable, no monthly fees:

Does anyone have information on how much Binance credit card fees are at ATMs? Does the 0.9% also apply to cash withdrawals? And are ATM fees added to this? If so, in what amount? I have heard too different statements here. From no fees at all for cash withdrawals at ATMs to heavily overcharged fees due to ATM extra fees.

Unfortunately, the information on the Binance website (https://www.binance.com/en/cards) does not provide much information here. Would be grateful for any helpful response.

Yes, the 0.9% fee also applies to withdrawals. And you won't get the BNB cashback either, like you get for purchases.
And the ATM fees are on top of it - I've seen ATMs with 0 extra fee, I've seen ATMs with ~4 EUR extra too. Keep in mind that also that extra is counted within the daily withdrawals/limits.
The extra fee should be shown by the ATM.

One important thing is also the conversion rate. If you don't withdraw your card's currency, most ATMs will offer you 2 options, of which one is conversion of bank's (bad) exchange rate and one is at VISA standard exchange rate (good).

The litecoin cards are issued by and run by blockcard who is mentioned in the 1st post of this thread. Same card, different skin on it. Somewhere on the blockcard website is does, or at least did mention co-branding cards so there will probably be more in the future.

Also, the bitpay card can use ETH & LTC to fund it.

Not sure if you would want to add the cashapp debit card to the list. You can send BTC to cash app and sell it and use that on their debit card.

MCO Visa Card (https://crypto.com/en/cards.html)
INFO:
  • Supported Countries - US, Europe and Singapore.

If this list is still being maintained, I'd recommend an update to the MCO Visa Card. They rebranded to become the Crypto.com (CDC) Visa Card a while back, and added quite a few more countries including Canada, Brazil, the UK and Australia.

Swipe also pivoted from being consumer focused to being business focused, and no longer issue consumer cards. I believe all existing Swipe customers were migrated to the Binance card. Too bad they no longer exist - they seemed like the only competitor to Crypto.com in terms of benefits and rewards.

Has anyone looked into Paycent recently? It appears that they are no longer offering. I haven't installed the app but both their Twitter and medium pages[1] are gone. The roadmap is stuck in 2019 and even the reviews section on the play store seems dead[2].

The same thing goes for Coinsbank. The card is still unavailable to order, and apparently, even the exchange is no longer functioning. The rates are wrong (see the site's header), CMC is no longer able to track data[3], inactive Twitter account, and people are reporting that they cannot withdraw their funds[4].

It was one important missing bit in the competition against Binance. Now their offers are (at least in my eyes/on what interests me) on similar level.
I'll follow the FTX card story, I'm very curious if they can make it better and more reliable than Binance's, while keeping it (almost) for free. It is possible.

To be honest, they will have to offer quite a lot of things to make people leave Binance card as at the moment it's pretty reliable. The biggest issue for me when it comes to Binance card is daily ATM withdrawal limit, 290 euro just ain't enough. If FTX increases that, offer cashback that's easy to obain (1-2 % would be good enough for me) and be as reliable as Binance card is, it will be a no brainer for me. Either way, it's definitely good news as competition is good for us users.

Q. When will you issue the CEX.IO card?
A. We hope to launch the digital version of the CEX.IO card by the end of Q4 2021 and are hoping to launch the physical card by early 2022. That being said, we are aiming to launch the digital and physical cards earlier to those that sign up early on our waitlist above :)

From what I understood after seeing their website, you don't have to do any KYC when creating an account in their plateforme and you can convert Bitcoin and few other cryptocurrencies to USD then send it to the card which doesn't require also KYC information. So far that's good when shopping online with a virtual card but could the card be denied when paying in shops outside of the USA?

KuCoin exchange launches its Kucard crypto debit card: https://www.kucoin.com/kucard
So after FTX announced their card, Kucoin decided to go down the same road. Btw , where you maybe able to find any info about fees and withdrawal limits?

Since Kucoin is one of the rare exchanges where I don't have to do KYC I think that I will skip this offer. After all, Binance card works almost flawlessly for me (except some weird contactless feature issues every once in a wqhile), so no reason to give my data to yet another exchange.


Title: Re: [BIG LIST] Crypto Debit Cards
Post by: Rikafip on June 23, 2022, 01:58:05 PM
It is unlikely that the development of the card could have been carried out even earlier, and Binance became the pioneer among exchange cards, if I am not mistaken, other exchanges also began to follow this trend. Most likely, FTX just released this product earlier, and Kucoin is still testing it.
Hm I thought that Coinbase was the first exchange that release debit cards as IIRC one friend got his Coinbase card back in 2019 while Binance card  came to Europe in mid 2020 and I got mine few months after that. But Binance one is immensely more popular, at least here in Croatia.


It is known that no money will be taken for issuing a card, and it will also be free in terms of annual maintenance. Withdrawal limits and commissions for purchases will be announced, most likely when it is officially launched.
So pretty much the standard stuff and its good to see how situation changed compared to 4-5 years ago when Wirex had fees for every possible thing making it very impractical to use. What i would like to see is debit card with high daily ATM withdrawal limit as Binance allows only 290 euro which can be quite restricting.


Title: Re: [BIG LIST] Crypto Debit Cards
Post by: Rikafip on June 23, 2022, 05:30:30 PM
The same applies to cards of payment services that work with cryptocurrency, for example, the advcash card also has a very limited cash withdrawal limit. I think this is due to the regulation around cryptocurrencies, and regulators do not want people to be able to withdraw a lot of cash through banking systems using crypto cards.
Not only cryptocurrency cards are affected with the relatively low limits, but the regular ones issued by banks as well (albeit withdrawal limits are higher). For example, card issued by my bank has 5000 kuna daily withdrawal limit (approximately 660 euro) so its a little bit more than a double of Binance card. Big advantage of Binance card is that daily spending limit is 8700 euro which should be enough for 99.99% users.

So after FTX announced their card, Kucoin decided to go down the same road. Btw , where you maybe able to find any info about fees and withdrawal limits?
On their website they say there are no annual or transaction fees, but they could charge some fees for trading crypto and for fiat conversion when you spend or buy something with KuCard.
They are still testing this card so we don't know how usable it will be in real life, and I won't open new kyc account just to get this card.
I am hoping that someone will create legit usable no-kyc card that works in Europe and worldwide.

Yeah I saw that part, its pretty much standard thing when it comes to crypto debit cards, nothing new there.

They are still testing this card so we don't know how usable it will be in real life, and I won't open new kyc account just to get this card.
It will be very hard for them to compete with Binance, at least here in Europe. Competition is a good thing though for us users, so I say bring it on.

Since regulations are only getting tighter, I think that a legit and usable non KYC crypto debit card with reasonable fees is unfortunately nothing but a pipe dream.

There is one small project that has legit card without kyc (coindebit.io) like I wrote before, but it is only available in United States, both for spending and for issuing physical cards.
We can always find a way to play around the rules and regulations, and we the people are the majority, so we don't always have to roll-off and accept everything they are offering us.

If what they are saying on their website is true and you maximum amount that you can have on card is only $250, that makes it very impractical for every day use. I also see that they are hiding their fees (did you maybe find out that info?) which from my experience usually means that they are quite high so combo of those two things would most probably make it unusable for me even if its available in Europe.

I am all up for trying to avoid rules and regulations, but I am also realistic about compromises needed to be made in order to use crypto debit card in an efficient way.

In general, if you seriously delve into this aspect, then the first exchange that announced its crypto debit card was the Bitfinex exchange, it was back in 2015, but the first exchange that not only announced, but was able to issue a physical plastic card was precisely Coinbase, yes.

The first exchange with their plastic cards was Bitcurex in August 2012: https://web.archive.org/web/20121021142209/http://shop.bitcurex.com/product.php?id_product=10 Obviously also no KYC at the time.

The next one after them was BitInstant, I think, although I don't remember if they actually managed to launch it.

The world's first crypto card that does not have any spending limits. There is also a 10% cashback in SPND tokens. To order, you will need to provide data on your annual income, as the card is designed for customers with high purchasing power.
All this crypto cards that have earning rewards in some shitcoins, in this case $spend token, are high risk especially if they don't have limits like this one.
I would be very careful using any of them with larger amount of money, and they can end up similar like Celsius did with their card that stopped all withdrawals, swap and transfers.

Lets move to some positive news, I didn't see CoinDebit card mentined anywhere in your list.
This is one of the first working fully anonymous cards for up to $250, but it currently works only in United States.
I wouldn't go wild using this card everywhere, there are some risks and it can be refused in some places, but it can be useful and it's unique card.

I don't know what is its uniqueness with such download limits, 250$? This is not a card in the broadest sense of the word, but just a beautiful little thing, as a gift for a crypto beginner it can fit, and it is almost pointless to use it as a card with such limits. It would be unique if there was a limit of at least 1 bitcoin.
There are reloadable cards option (there are confirmed reports of cards accepting more than $250), or you can just  buy ten, hundred or 1000 separate cards and load them all with $250 if you want to spend more,
this is ANONYMOUS card, not some shitcoin scam cards like Voyager, Celsius or fake unlimited BitcoinBlack card that gets blocked each time when bitcoin market crashes and their token dies.

Anonymous = means safe? In my country, too, at one time there was an anonymous payment card with a minimum limit, it was perfectly used in various telephone frauds and petty extortions, so in the future no one wanted to accept payments from it. This anonymous card may also have the same fate.
No, anonymous means that I don't have to submit my whole life history (maybe even blood type) like for bitcoinblackcreditcard, just so I could get fake Unlimited forever stamp :D
On card I mentioned there is a limit for a reason, and I don't think that is a bad thing.

Visa has released a new  crypto credit card - bitcoinblack, but only for residents of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates:
Judging by the articles they've featured in before [e.g. this one (https://financialpost.com/pmn/press-releases-pmn/business-wire-news-releases-pmn/fd7-ventures-invests-in-bitcoinblack-canadas-first-bitcoin-credit-card)], it seems that they first launched in Canada so I don't think it's limited to wealthy UAE residents...
- They've also used the following line in various places on their website: "Limited to 10,000 members worldwide (https://www.bitcoinblackcreditcard.com/)"

It's like having an anonymous smartphone, but which can only call one number, there is almost no point in this, but it's a cool unique feature.
While its true that $250 limit disqualifies it for any serious use, I wouldn't say that it couldn't be useful in certain situations so its a good addition and I would like to have one just in case.

My problem with anonymous debit cards is that it sounds good at first but when I think about things I use debit card for (99% is ordering stuff online), it makes it kinda pointless as I have to give my info anyway and places where I actually want anonymity us offer bitcoin as a mean of payment. Another problem is that those type of cards have very high fees simply due the fact that there is no much competition which seriously limits its usefulness.

Lightning Network-powered payment app, Strike, launches its Visa debit card:

https://i.imgur.com/c31JoEi.png

A system of rewards for using the card has also been announced, whether it is a deposit in bitcoins and fiat, payment in bitcoins and fiat, Apple Pay and Google Pay payments, etc.
Their service is available for USA, El Salvador and Argentina.. It is good to see a new card issued anyway.
I still find the best option that is available worldwide is advcash although the huge fees for cards and the unavailability of the visa one + no virtual for non Europeans.
I wonder if anyone used Spendl? or have an idea about virtual card that is available everywhere?

- It's issued by Optimus Cards UK Limited and powered by Baanx (available to UK and EEA residents).

Just found out Nuri [formally known as Bitwala] "filed for insolvency in August (https://nuri.com/blog/nuri-filed-for-insolvency/)" and if there are still some that use their services, perhaps it's the right time to look for an alternative provider [regardless of what they've said in the blog post]!

Although it is in German but you could understand with the translation. I found Ammar cards that looks interesting but dunno if it was tested or not. Astropay didn't mention the accepted countries and dunno why someone has to contact them to know he it is eligible to join them or not.

Imo that would probably be Revolut (its not a crypto card though), but for that to work you would need Coinbase account as well. Few of my close friends have it and I think its even more reliable than Binance card, but the downside is that you will have to do two separate KYCs, for both Coinbase and Revolut. I personally don't have it because I don't really want to do extra KYCs and Binance card works pretty good for me, but if that's not the problem for you then Revolut is way to go and that's the one I would get if something happened to Binance.

I think Advcash is a good alternative especially for Europeans since it is cheaper than the card available for the rest of the countries in the world.
Otherwise there is Neteller but honestly I am not sure if you can spend directly crypto deposited there with their mastercard or you have to use a third party service for deposit.

I'm Revolut user. But the point is that i plan use eur bank service not for regular spending, because taxes. For this moment i dont understand how can tax service of EU country see Binance card (or not) and count that spended money also.

At this moment i'm thinking what different services are most reasonable for exit from crypto to EUR bank account by SEPA to lower comissions directly without p2p.

Well, you are supposed to report your spending Binance card spendings to the tax office in your country but whether you will do it or risk it by not reporting is up to you and probably depends on how vigilant tax service in your country. Vast majority of people I know that are using crypto debit cards are not reporting it to our tax office, but mainly because procedure in my country is incredibly complicated so they rather risk it.

As expected, FTX is expanding their business and after US, they plan to release debit card in ~40 countries, focusing this time on Europe, Asia and Latin America. Since I am pretty satisfied with my Binance card and I really don't want to do KYC on another exchange, I think I will skip this one. Will be interesting though to see the perks & fees as they would have to be really good to get people move away from competition.

As mentioned earlier, the debit cards would be launched in about 40 countries. It was noted that both the parties involved were focusing on Latin America, Asia, and Europe. The cards will instantly connect to a user’s FTX crypto account and are already accessible in the United States.


One thing I don't understand from that article is this part : "Unlink other debit cards, this one would allow customers to make purchases without having to move their cryptocurrencies from the exchange". I mean, how is that different from my Binance Visa card as I also don't have to move crypto from exchange. Or I misunderstood that sentence.

Unless their ATM limits are much higher than of competition, but looking at how it is in US (https://help.ftx.us/hc/en-us/articles/4415496888343-What-are-my-FTX-US-card-limits-), it doesn't look significantly better.

Nuri, former Bitwala, is going to close its business and be liquidated. CEO urges customers to withdraw their funds by 18/12/2022.  "Unfortunately, we have not been able to find investors to continue our mission and have asked our customers to withdraw their funds by 18/12/2022 the latest, so the business can be terminated and liquidated. Customers have access and will be able to withdraw all funds until the aforementioned date. All assets in your Nuri account are safe and unaffected by Nuri’s insolvency. Trading will be possible until 30/11/2022." (https://nuri.com/blog/letter-from-ceo/)

Blockchain.com is a popular site although I believe it dropped a bit comparing to the previous years. They reported a big number of people willing to order the card!
Code:
In a Yahoo Finance interview, Blockchain.com CEO Peter Smith said the card already had 50,000 signed onto a waiting list
There is also BitOasis and FTX that launched the VISA crypto friendly card in the same period which is a good news too. The only drawback is the limited number of countries accepted!

IMO it's a poor decision by Ledger to design it in a way that relies on those who only have a Ledger device [the moment they move those assets to the CL card, they're no longer in custody, so what's the point in limiting it in this way (apart from the marketing part)?]!

For me the biggest problem is not a question of money, the problem is that it is a crime, known as impersonation or equivalent depending on the country in which you reside. That card is in someone else's name and you are using it to use funds that the state does not know you have. If you are caught, you are going to have problems.

It will be hard to get caught though if you do things right, but as with most crimes. You have to be aware of the risks.

Based on the feedback it doesn't look like a scam and cards work, but they aren't cheap.

I've read about that service at some point, I didn't know if it still works, however, I find it far too expensive compared to amounts I'd be using it with plus some effort to keep everything working; for me it doesn't worth the hassle.

Not willing to extend the discussion here but it is logical to see such service when the official card issuers are blocking most countries from accessing their service..
I mean look to most services here, they are allowing only US citizens, others just Europeans, UK, few other countries only... Well in this case, alternative services will pop up with higher prices for people spending much money.

which card today is best to add after Binance card as cheapest alternative second service for spending crypto in EU to use also with ATM in EUR?
I think Advcash is a good alternative especially for Europeans since it is cheaper than the card available for the rest of the countries in the world.
Otherwise there is Neteller but honestly I am not sure if you can spend directly crypto deposited there with their mastercard or you have to use a third party service for deposit.

Advcash load to USD cards are no longer working. I guess EUR cards can still be loaded but they are only available to citizens & residents of EU, Israel, Turkey.

Do you know of an alternative that provides cards to people outside the EU?

Not only cryptocurrency cards are affected with the relatively low limits, but the regular ones issued by banks as well (albeit withdrawal limits are higher). For example, card issued by my bank has 5000 kuna daily withdrawal limit (approximately 660 euro) so its a little bit more than a double of Binance card. Big advantage of Binance card is that daily spending limit is 8700 euro which should be enough for 99.99% users.

Its all probably about governments not liking the thought of us withdrawing money without them knowing on what exactly we are spending it.

These are very good limits. I do not use bank cards at all and do not have bank accounts, I use only alternative solutions. The best solution that I found in my country is a card of one payment service, which allows you to withdraw no more than 1,780 euros per day, and no more than 10,700 euros per month. It is a pity that the Binance card is not available for me, so I have to use only such solutions. I used Advcash until 2018, it was probably the most convenient card for both shopping and travel, but it was also limited for my country. Residents of the European Union, of course, have a wide variety in the choice of crypto cards, this is a definite plus for them, there is plenty to choose from.

I live in Paraguay. I can't find any working card? :(
I went through the list and almost none are available outside EU, US, UK, and a couple of other countries. Paycent seems to be available but search results indicate it's a scam.

Which cards can you recommend?

Advcash launched a couple of cards (Crypto world, and Global UnionPay) and then stopped shipping the cards. The last time I checked, they said they'll be available again soon. Maybe you can check their site or reach out to them for an ETA.

Hello!
I'm from the FCF Pay team!

Our fees are 6 USD + 3.5% to issue the cards. The payment is made through our own payment gateway and can be done in ~20 stablecoins + SHIB.
To refill the cards, the fees are 3 USD + 3.5%.
Monthly fee is 1.75 USD taken from the card at the end of the month. If the card falls below 1.75 USD balance at that time, it will be deactivated.

But if you create or refill the cards from your FCF Pay balance, you will get a discount (at the moment it's 0.75%, but we may increase it to 1%).

The cards are virtual USD cards, similar to prepaid gift cards, but they are tokenizable (they can be added to Apple/Google/Samsung Pay) by using a US/Canada number. Unfortunately, it seems that delivery to online SMS services fails recently. I suggest that you ask a friend in USA/Canada to help you by relaying the SMS validation code. It may take 10-15 minutes to receive the SMS.

We can also offer physical cards companies/projects. For individuals we will start offering the physical cards in about 2 weeks.

We do have affiliate programs: the easiest way is to create an account on fcfpay.com, share your affiliate link or create your own prepaid card widget/page to share and add a mark-up.
For companies/projects that want to start their issuing program, we offer white label solutions.

If I can help you with more information, tag me or drop by our Telegram chat.

Have a great day!

Great questions!

Sorry, I'm a newb at this forum so I don't know how to do quotes, so I'll just copy-paste and reply

Quote
Do you support Bitcoin or only stable coins?
- At the moment only stable coins

Quote
Fees are not bad, maybe I would remove monthly fees, but I see now how some recent shady competition is basically stealing money from people.
- Unfortunately we can't remove the monthly fees unless we increase the issuing fee. Monthly fees are taken by the issuing bank to host the card accounts.

Quote
It would help if you could create separate topic in forum for your FCF cards.
- Awesome! will look into it and create a topic

Quote
Why do I need to enter my physical address with city for virtual cards?
- It's required by the issuing bank, but you can write anything.

Quote
One more question, what exactly are this fees that shows up during card creation?
- Including fees or not in the amount that you select on the slider. For example, you can select in the slider 100 USD, not including fees and it will calculate how much you need to deposit to get 100 USD on the card. If you choose the including fees option, then you pay 100 USD and the system calculates how much you will receive on the card.

Quote
I am interested for this cards.
- Are you interested to get 1 card for yourself or more cards for your company/project?

Quote
I can't find information about your telegram chat, and it's better if you write in forum when you release physical cards, with more information how to order them.
Our community is mostly on Telegram. I found this forum by recommendation of HostFat (he bought some cards yesterday, tried to activate them, banged his head on a wall... I banged my head on a wall... We found that the issuing bank changed the APIs regarding the phone number format and didn't update the documentation, we fixed the problem... He was then able to activate cards today! Everyone is happy!)
Will try to be more active here and give out updates. We will have an updates session on YouTube this Sunday.

If it's OK, I could post the link to it and to Telegram.

With our card, they don't know if it's a crypto card. I don't think that there is a code for that yet. I believe the main issue is that they see the card as "prepaid" this would soon be fixed. And you would then be able to use your card on these platforms.

Great list! Thank you for spending your personal time to come up with this thread. I hadn't noticed this topic before.

I recently issued Binance's card, which arrived within 2 weeks, free of charge. I'm not sure if it has been mentioned in the past; I looked through a page or two of responses but didn't see anything in regards to Binance's card. However, I'd like to address my experience with Mistertango a few years ago. Firstly, if I remember correctly, somewhere in 2017, they went through a lawsuit that shut them down for money laundering. They had to shut down a huge number of accounts, if not all of them, and their support was extremely unhelpful during that period.

Fortunately, I was able to withdraw after going through a verification process to certify that I actually own the account to which I was wishing to transfer the money.

Update:

We just change the way how our platform works and we added new payment methods.

We added the following payment methods:
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, USDC, DOGE, SHIB, BCH, LINK, BAT and ALGO

(Monero will be added next week, after testing is done)

Previously, you need to make 2 payments, 1 for creating your card and 1 for funding your card. Now we changed the flow.

Our new flow:
1. Fund your account using crypto.
2. Buy a card using your account balance.
3. Top-Up your card using account balance.

We also change the way you pay the fees:
(FEES ARE THE SAME).
1. When funding your account, you pay the 4% fee.
2. When you Top-Up your card, only then pay the $1.50 fee.

If you have any questions, let us know.

You can give your customers the option to select how they want to pay the fees.
Some may prefer monthly fees, and others could choose to pay fees for more months, maybe with some discount.
I think the fees should be lower for digital cards.

Are you interested to get 1 card for yourself or more cards for your company/project?
No company is involved, I just want to get one or two cards for myself.
One would be digital and one physical card when you release it.

If it's OK, I could post the link to it and to Telegram.
Sure it's ok, post it here and you can add the links in your forum profile (and in signature space with ranking up).

Bit2Me (https://bit2me.com/suite/card) [a cryptocurrency exchange in Spain] launched a crypto debit card recently:
- It's worth noting that "in the first stage, the physical card will be available within the Spanish territory only (https://support.bit2me.com/en/support/solutions/articles/35000212340-when-can-i-get-my-bit2me-card-) [this limit doesn't extend to their virtual card]", but there's also this: In which countries is Bit2Me Card available? (https://support.bit2me.com/en/support/solutions/articles/35000203200-in-which-countries-is-bit2me-card-available-) [I'm a bit confused if it's still in the first stage or not]

  • Up to 9% Cashback
  • It supports "BTC, ETH, ADA, XRP, SOL, DOT, USDT and B2M [their native token]"
  • No maintenance fee
  • Daily limit of up to €2,500 and a monthly limit of up to €20,000 (for the other costs and limits, refer to "this page (https://support.bit2me.com/en/support/solutions/articles/35000212846-bit2me-card-costs-y-limits)")

which card today is best to add after Binance card as cheapest alternative second service for spending crypto in EU to use also with ATM in EUR?

In Croatia many people since crypto.com cards raised they fees and removed perks, moved to plutus for daily use !
They said SEPA-->REVOLUT-->plutus  is the cheapest way to top up  (I am not sure for withdrawl, is it same vise versa)
But many use REVOLUT as mediator (middle man) for plutus. Because SEPA transfers in local croatian banks  could be as much as 0.50 euro cents per transaction.
So they are using REVOLUT to top up for current bills AND probably crypto .. Since it is cheaper than to go directly to crypto cards ... (in this case plutus)

The more the merrier, but they gonna have some tough competition in Binance, Coinbase and Crypto.com. From what I could see their spending limits are not bad at all, but couldn't find the most important thing (at least for me) and that's cashback percentage.

It looks like a Dubai-Headquartered exchange called MaskEX also launched its virtual card a couple of days ago.

I couldn't find much information about the card on their website, but according to the press release, the card should be available for all ID-verified users[1] (which could possibly mean that the card is available worldwide but I could be wrong).

After Bybit announcing launch of their debit card the other day, now Gate decided to do the same and  issue their Visa debit card, initially for users in EEA countries. The more the merrier I guess.

Gate Group, the parent company behind crypto exchange Gate.io, plans to launch a Gate Visa crypto debit card through its Lithuana-based company, Gate Global UAB.

A waitlist and registration process is open for users in the European Economic Area, according to a statement from Gate.

Visa's head of crypto, Cuy Sheffield, noted that the payments giant "wants to serve as the bridge between the crypto ecosystem and our global network of merchants and financial institutions.

It seems that instead of rewarding their users through a cashback system, they're going to launch a loyalty program to give merch from their "own" rewards shop [launching in April]:

  • By spending 1 Euro, you'll get a single point and there's a limit of 12,500 points for each month [refer to the "latter part of this (https://www.bybithelp.com/en-US/s/article/Introduction-to-Bybit-Card)" page].

Iirc they announced their debit card almost a year ago but I don't know anyone using it though as people (at least the ones around me) primarily use Kucoin for their no (mandatory) KYC feature.

Meh that sucks, who cares about their merchandise when others offer cashback. It's not like I would use them even if they offered 3-4% cashback, but still I don't think that's the best way to attract new users since competition is tough and you really have to offer something good to make people use you instead Coinbase/Binance/Crypto.com.

And they are probably going to convert those points in some worthless tokens, and since their rewards market is work in progress they say it's going to be able to exchange that points for their merchandise and items.
So customers spending money with their cards will be able to buy ''exclusive'' bybit hats and t-shirts... .. what a joke :D
I would seriously be very careful using any cards that are connected with centralized exchanges.

Bitcoin (BTC) rewards app Fold and Visa (V) have expanded their ongoing partnership. The U.S. payments giant will now serve as the exclusive network partner for Fold's prepaid debit and credit products in North America, Europe and Latin America, and the Caribbean, Fold said Thursday.

I also reached out to MaskEX (keep in mind that it's a new platform) and they said that the card is available everywhere with the exception of Iran, North Korea, and Myanmar. More about the card and its fees:

Hello,

It's getting more and more unlikely these days, but I'd like to ask if there's any ANONYMOUS crypto virtual debit card to pay online?

A few years ago, there were far less cards on a similar list, but almost all of them offered anonymous option. Now with so many cards out there, I can't find a single one that offers that.  :(



https://fcfpay.com/prepaid-crypto-debit-cards/

No KYC
From $50 to $5000
Fee: nearly 4.1% at the creation
It is reloadable.

When I tried to fill a card, it asked me for exact details. Are you sure KYC is not required or maybe they changed rules?

Sorry, you're right.
The declared data is not checked in any way. (I mean no documents, so no KYC in practice)
Phone number was not verified by them  ;)
Card works - I made my first purchase with it.

Fee is not small, because with a top-up for about $51.50 (BTC) to the card, there is about $42 left to spend.
Costs of anonymity  ;) 8)


Title: Re: [BIG LIST] Crypto Debit Cards
Post by: LeGaulois on April 14, 2023, 11:29:52 PM



The phone number is only needed if you want to add the card to google pay and alike. (And it needs to be USA/CA based)

About the high fees, yep  It may seem costly since you paid ~20% but that's because it includes the cost of the card ($6). Next time you refill it, you pay $3 balance refill action + 3.5% reload fee+ $2 monthly maintenance fee
Let's say the next time you spend 100$, you will get ~90$. It's a lot cheaper with 10%

And don't forget since the card is in USD, if you pay in a shop using another currency, you will have to pay the visa/mastercard fees (I'm talking about the FX fees)

The problem to me is since I'm european and we have 3DS here, the cards are not compatible
europe scam 😭😭😭

Yes, I also agree with you. However, it is a virtual card, so it can be used not for payments only in euros, but for example, to buy domains for $ (or I didn't get your point)
Looking at the percentage fee, the perspective can also be different when we use a larger amount:
I haven't calculated it exactly, but I expect that if you fill card for $500  (not $50 like I did), the percentage cost will come out not 20%, but probably less than 5% (more / less)
Still good enough for anonymity  ;)

EDIT:
Unless you mean that in Europe such cards are no longer (theoretically) available ... That's true ... Europe regulates it strongly.
Now the question is - is it good or bad ... for us? for the future of crypto?

Fees are a bit different from last time I checked, but they are not that bad.
Good thing I heard for this cards is that they even work for Paypal, but I can't confirm this myself.
It's important to know that nobody should use this cards to purchase any cryptocurrencies or gift cards with it, as stated in their terms this can result in your card being declined or flagged for potential fraud.
I don't know why anyone would buy crypto with this cards, but better to read clearly before purchasing them.

There is much better alternative CoinDebit that has lower fees, but sadly they currently work only in United States  :P

They already had their other partner before Metropolitan Commercial Bank that did Visa that was shutdown. This was the relaunch. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5253104.0
So this new one will be #3
Wonder what the reasoning is.
However, with the Gemini CREDIT card you do get some nice perks. And with the Coinbase Visa Debit you also got cash back (well crypto back) with the BitPay you got nothing. So I can see this bing a point of contention between them. Because, lets face it. If you are going to pull a crypto card out of you wallet are you going to go with the 3% back or the 0% back.....

I'm not sure if this card was already suggested here but I just notice that Ledger offers CL crypto cards for Ledger Wallet owners when I browse the Ledger Live. This card is available worldwide with 2% cashback every month. This is cool because the funds will be directly deducted directly from the ledger balance.

Also, If this will not trouble you, Adding the benefits of the cards on the list such as rebates percentage will be very helpful to choose a better crypto card.

Someone will correct me if i am wrong, but I don't think that crypto will be deducted directly from your Ledger but instead you will have to transfer it to ledger card first, meaning that crypto is not in your custody anymore.

People have to be crazy to apply for this ledger cards especially in combination with their upcoming (now paused) Recovery feature.

For people who are interested in Bitcoin cashback there are much better options and some of them are even kyc-free, like virtual cards from The Bitcoin Company.
There are Intenational and US only type of VISA cards with 2.5% reward, and they have a bunch of other gift cards with better rewards:

Not sure how many people here were using their service. But I know not everybody has gotten the official e-mail about them shutting down yet. I got one, but two other people who have accounts there did not. Could be they're sending the emails out in batches or they might have gotten eaten by a spam filter someplace.

I don't know if their card was mentioned on this thread at all but I figured it's good to put this information out there.

Thanks for the correction, The front description makes me overlook about that it’s direct transfer from Ledger but it turns out to be ledger live. I just read full description and it turns out that it needs to be top-up via ledger live.

If that was poissble it would automatically made it by far the best crypto debit card on the market becase you wouln'd thave to trust anyone with your crypto but unfortunately that's not possible.

Many people had synicning issues, especially with Ethereum app. Add on that double spend problems that happened from time to time and you get a completely useless app and instead of Ledger trying to sort something as essential as their app, they waste time & money on that bad reovery idea.

You have to use Orbot or a VPN in order to be able to buy this card. It's strange because now that I have changed my IP, I can see the list of banned countries, but my country is not listed even listed there.

The fees look good compared to what we've seen before. 0.00036978 BTC for a 10$ card (with the current preev.com rate of 27,190$).

I haven't bought the card, so I can't really vouch for them but make sure to read the warnings on the app before buying. The card does not work everywhere (like in PayPal, Revolut, etc.)

You don't have to use any VPN if cards are available in your region, but it is best to download their app for Android or iOS and check for yourself.
Note that changing IP addresses could result in card payment getting declined in some places, so be careful if you are doing that, and first try with smaller amount of money.

Generally there is a list of countries not authorised to use credit cards, otherwise fees are the limited factors for using these services when they are very high.
The card will be available as physical but also virtual form which is pretty good. Hopefully it will not be restricted just after the launching due to restriction from the issuers...

Sorry, but you can't use them on AliExpress, PayPal or any similar websites, I think I wrote about that before  :P
If you want to buy something from AliExpress only way you can pay (other than using credit/debit cards) is with crypto on mirror website called AliBitress for slightly higher prices.
I think AliBitress owner is registered and still active on bitcointalk forum, so you can try talking with him for more details, because I don't vouch for anything ;)

@OmegaStarScream

There are 2 things.

There is a list of country where the cards don't work

In Europe, it doesn't work because we (the EU merchants) are using the 3DS protocol and the buyer needs a phone number.
The thebitcoincompany cards don't have a phone number tied

On the website you want to buy if you don't see the logo "verified by visa" or "MasterCard SecureCode" but the usual Visa and Mastercard logos it may work

So it looks like Binance will no longer be offering their card to residents of Latin America and the Middle East. The users will have until the 21st of September when the cards stop working.

Seems like that's not all as according to Bloomberg, Visa stopped issuing new Binance debit cards for their users in Europe since July and if that's true and something doesn't change I will have to look for another crypto debit cards in a few months when current one expires.

Just announced and not much information but Bitrefill will be offering virtual debit cards for a bunch of countries soon:

https://www.bitrefill.com/card

Not all the details are there yet, but it looks to be a semi sold offering from a good company.

Not in the US so boo from me. But for others is might be a win.

From what I can see they basically covered EU countries as usual, just waiting now for the terms.

Since Visa allegedly stopped issuing new Binance cards in Europe (still waiting for someone to cofnirm this) since few months ago and my debit card expires in 6 months, this might be a solution. What's even better, they said that they plan to release physical version too. Anyway, good news for us in the EU!

@Rikafip @DaveF

Better than nothing, but Europe has already many crypto cards here and there. It's will be hard for Bitrefill to compete with Coinbase, Wirex, ect...
It will need to have a serious advantage compared to others and the only thing coming to my mind is a card without KYC
(something almost impossible nowadays).
It could be the fees but it can't work with zero fee that's for sure.

So, there is nothing exciting for most people, + the card is not a physical one

True, they will have tough competition here, but if Visa really stops supporting Binance many people will look for another option. By the way, is Wirex still a thing? I know they have been around for a ling tiem and that they wre one of the first crypot debit cards but I enevr met someone ac tually using it and I know quite a few crypto debit card users (majority of them use Binance).

Yeah I don't even hope for no KYC but cashback is something that we could see.

They do claim that physical version will be released soon

We are launching the digital version of the Bitrefill Card first. If you own a recent phone, you’ll be able to add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay and pay with your phone anywhere contactless cards are accepted. If you prefer a physical card, you will also get a chance to request it soon

Wirex has troubles in Europe; their card license got revoked and they seem to have real problems finding a replacement. European cards don't work for some months now.
So somehow Wirex seems to do big steps into becoming "a thing" of the history, at least in Europe.

I know there are a few crypto credit cards on the list, as an exception.

Dave casually hands a ton of work Ratimov....

How about a separate section for those cards that are either credit cards or fiat funded that just give rewards in crypto? i.e. Gemini and Fold and the others.

Regarding OneKey's card. It looks like it's not available for everyone yet. I just made an account and set a 2FA but then on the "account activation" page (where apparently you have to submit your documents), it says that I need an invitation code to continue.

PST Card (https://pst.net/cards)
Hey man, do some better research before posting cards, this PST cards are obvious SCAM!
They even scammed bitcointalk member Maris Lunt who sent coins from Coinbase, they have negative feedback, and there are several opened flags against them in forum.
Ever since this incident they are missing from forum, and they will never come back.

Just saw an ad from Thorwallet on Reddit. Apparently, they now offering Visa cards (only available for Europeans only):

I haven't tried their card, but AFAIK they're legit and the project is backed by the same team behind Thorchain/Thorswap projects.

ANN thread: [ANN] The Anon virtual VISA card, No personal information needed. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5468591.0)

That thread is now locked and the OP got some negative trust rating for allegedly not paying website developer. A weird drama and not a good sign :)

But this kind of brings a question of how safe are some of those cards. Do Visa, Mastercard or others somehow verify whether those new businesses, offering their cards, are legit? Or can literally anyone launch their own Bitcoin card?

Dear Binancian,

You will no longer be able to use your Binance Visa Debit Card from 20th December 2023 UTC 00:00.

Your Binance account is unaffected and will continue to operate as usual. This change only impacts the use of your Binance Card.

In the meantime, where available, users can shop with crypto and send crypto using Binance Pay, a contactless, borderless and secure cryptocurrency payment technology designed by Binance, at merchants accepting it.

Yours sincerely


The Binance team

This is another SCAM card in your list Ratimov!

Please be careful and don't rush adding new cards as soon as they show up, especially if they are ''anon''.

Thanks Ratimov for always updating on this thread all the available crypto cards you have researched to discover, many people will find some of them very useful after which they have given a try, however, it is our own personal responsibility to make research on any one of them before using, this is at our own discretion in making such decision, i think it's quite a while now that i came across a thread on this forum on members asking for recommendations from crypto card users, when we have them like this, it is also our major responsibility in making a personal research on them before using any, thanks for updating up the thread promptly.

You misunderstand the meaning of this topic. This topic is not about the most trusted and proven services, it is an overview of all possible offers that are presented on the crypto debit card scene. Whether to use a card or not is up to everyone to decide for themselves, since this topic is not a recommendation, but an informational one, except in cases of outright scam, when the card does not fulfill its direct functions. In this case, I do not see any complaints that the PaytheAnon card has somehow stopped working and is not giving out money.

But how about showing warning about on-going accusation and weird/shady behavior? After some member discuss about on-going accusation, they decide to lock the thread.

If you know of other forum cases with complaints about valid debit cards, please let me know and I will add the necessary note and card information.

Why are you adding pictures next to the dubious cards, when AFAIK they don't have any real design in the first place since they are virtual?

If Bitcointalk had some support for spoiler tags, I would've recommended hiding the entire third post in there, so that they would not be seen by default. Sadly though, that's not supported.

The strangest question possible. They have designs in their own applications. Can't virtual cards have a debit card symbol? All images are taken from official service websites, and not just drawn by someone.

OK I can understand that, it's just weird that card providers make designs of their cards as images if the card is fully virtual.

I know it helps for marketing purposes and brand image and all that stuff, I just wanted to point out that the design of the card is often used as a technique along with other visual elements of a website to make a card appear trustworthy to many people. (Whether or not a particular card is, though, is a completely different topic.)

Is there a connection between Paywithanon and Paywithmoon?
One guy, who left a 5-star positive review on Paywitmoon's Trustpilot page, states that Paywithanon is using Paywithmoon's server.
Also, is paywithmoon active and functioning right now? They have stopped their virtual VISA service back in February 15 2023, but their website remains active. This seems weird.

Hi davis196,
I am the developer of paywithanon. There are no connection between paywithmoon and paywithanon both of them are totally different system.

I would suggest that everyone should stay away from paywithanon because they are scammers. Details: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5468591.0;all
