Yes, as far as I know. The only thing I'm not sure is if they work with PayPal or not.  |

Check the FAQ on the site. It'll answer all of your questions. Cheers! That's why the question came up to me.What currency are the cards denominated in?
Due to banking regulations the cards must be denominated in Canadian Dollars. View the Canadian to US Dollar exchange rate here.
Does that mean, I pay 50 USD and get 50,525 CAD or do I pay 50 CAD and get 50 CAD ?EDIT: forget it ;P |

The cards are priced internally as CAD$ then converted to BTC. So, to answer your question you are technically paying CAD to get CAD. |

Hey guys, Just an update. After talking to the banks in great detail (Yes, they're open. We already had our Thanksgiving up here. We can't wait for turkey. ) I came to the following conclusions: If I sell reloadable cards or sell US$ cards I have to collect everyone's identification, keep it on file, and submit it to Visa. There are also a pile of other KYC regulations I'd have to comply with once I even touch US$. If I touch US$ I have to comply with US laws by proxy. The USA has a lot more laws regarding this sort of stuff than Canada does. Now for some good news: 1. I just refilled the card inventory again. I was running low -- again. 2. I am now able to load cards up to $500 instead of $100. I am in the process of getting $250 and $500 cards. The higher priced cards make the fees a lot easier to swallow. I might discontinue the $25 card in the near future for this reason. Thoughts? 3. I am under a pile of paperwork right now to get setup as a high volume reseller. Once this happens my costs will go way down and I'll pass the savings onto the customer. I'll likely just match the retail price. Cheers! The Madhatter |

They are only there to protect the existing businesses from competition. Its funny that they fought a war to get rid of a ruler then voluntarily created their own emporer.(the federal gov.)  I bet its easier to get prepaid visa cards denominated in rubles than in US dollars! |

@noagendamarket: I completely agree. Canada's emperor is Sandy McTire. He's my hero. |

At least they know they can never get the top job lol |

I wouldn't abandon the small value cards if I were you. Make them proportionally more expensive if that's the case, but leave the option for those who are not very comfortable with putting a lot of money in a prepaid credit card, like people who fear being stolen, or who still don't trust your business well enough... |
