Visa crackdown on bitcoin debit card providers - Jan 2018

[serveria.com]

They work, because they offer a prepaid MasterCard and not a prepaid VISA
and therefore are completely unaffected by the decision to suspend all
cards issued by WaveCrest.

Moreover, looks like they are a bank themselves - they provide a free IBAN account for every new user.

However, as you have already posted in the other thread, the fees are
too steep for Bitcoin deposits at the moment (possibly partly caused
by the congestion of the Bitcoin network?)

10% is quite a fee and I didn't take into account miner fees!

Any feedback? Is it affected?

No they shouldn't, they have a Wavecrest mastercard.
I would like to order a card soon, but I'm worried because mastercard can't accept third part payment as advcash's mastercard, and I need it to receive paypal payments!

Anyone know more about that?

Hey, I have used advcash mastercard today in euronet Germany and have many strange messages (about transaction can't be completed due to my card provider) after 3 or 4 try finally I withdraw about 250eur... anyone has similar problem today? Could this be due this issue that they (wave crest) have some maintenance in system so transactions even for mastercards have troubles ?
