could you tell me please what 80 currencies do you have and what countries do you support ? because I surfed you sites looking for info but I did not find

During the alpha we're only issuing in USD and EUR.

Here's the list of currencies we're planning on making available:

AED, ALL, ARS, AUD, AWG, AZN, BBD, BGN, BND, BOB, BRL, BWP, BYR, BZD, CAD, CHF, CLP, CNY, COP, CRC, CZK, DKK, DOP, EGP, EUR, GBP, HKD, HNL, HRK, HUF, IDR, ILS, INR, ISK, JMD, JPY, KHR, KRW, LAK, LKR, MAD, MGA, MKD, MNT, MUR, MXN, MYR, MZN, NAD, NGN, NIO, NOK, NPR, NZD, OMR, PAB, PEN, PHP, PKR, PLN, PYG, QAR, RON, RSD, RUB, SAR, SBD, SCR, SEK, SGD, SOS, SRD, SVC, SYP, THB, TRY, TTD, TVD, TWD, UAH, USD, UYU, UZS, VEF, VND, XCD, and ZAR.

Let's hope for the best, subscribed on your website: "You're in line for early access!", so there is no hidded fee?

We charge 1% on the bitcoin -> fiat exchange using BitPay's BBB rate. There's a bit more info in this blog post: http://blog.shakepay.co/2016/introducing-shake-alpha/

Thanks for providing this info, I just got an e-mail from shakepay and the fees are states as below:
"Fees during the alpha
1% when funding your card with bitcoin
3% if your card is used in a foreign transaction (i.e. USD card charged in a EUR transaction)"

Correct. The card is also free on signup and there are no monthly fees.

Is this a visa/master card? or just a bitcoin card? *edit* says visa :-)
Will USA citizens be allowed to get the card?

It's a VISA debit card Smiley And for the moment we cannot onboard anyone with a US address. We're workin' on it.

Hi everyone,

We'd like to share a project we've been working on:

https://shakepay.co

A bitcoin debit card that is available in upwards of 80 currencies (so you're never paying fx fees), can be issued into multiple card numbers, and can be used in contactless tap & pay terminals.

Here's a bit from a recent blog post:

Quote
Funds always in the possession of the consumer

What if you could hold possession of all of your assets until the moment of transaction?

Following the decentralized, trustless nature of bitcoin and digital currencies, we're building a product that keeps your funds with you at all times. Only at the moment of transaction will you sign over your funds using a multi-signature wallet.

Ability to spend anywhere

Zero foreign transaction fees. Your card becomes a multi-currency card allowing you to spend like a local in more than 80 currencies. At the moment of transaction, Shake quickly calculates the realtime exchange rate using Bitpay's Bitcoin Best Bid Rate and charges 0% on the exchange.

Mobile tap & pay. Your phone becomes your wallet with mobile tap & pay. All contactless-enabled terminals around the world will now accept your phone as a method of payment.

Plastic cards. For those moments where tap & pay is not available, a plastic EMV card can be used as an alternative to swipe or chip-in.

Virtual cards. All cards can be used for online payments.

Safety and protection

Issue multiple cards. You can issue a card number for every merchant. One for Netflix, one for Amazon, and one for your day-to-day expenses. If a merchant gets hacked, you can easily issue a new card, transfer your funds over and voila! You're safe from fraudulent charges. Use them like throwaway cards.

Set rules on a card. Now that you have cards for different purposes, you can set rules for authorizing transactions. For example, a mobile provider card can only be used for $37.99 on the 7th of the month and a grocery card can have a limit of $100 per week.

http://blog.shakepay.co/2016/bonjour-world/

Today we're launching Shake Alpha, an early version of Shake, that allows you to tap & pay at contactless terminals with a USD or EUR card. It comes in two flavours:

- A mobile app that allows you to tap & pay at contactless terminals



- A web app that displays your virtual card to pay online



We're sending out a bunch of invites today so add your email to https://shakepay.co.

Happy to answer any questions.
