A working cryto debit card?

[crazyivan]

Yeah i ordered xapo bitcoin debit card in 2016, allows me to spend bitcoins on ATMs and online shopping websites, i can take a lot of benifits from this card. You can simply deposit bitcoins into your xapo wallet and spend them as like fiat anywhere where debit cards are accepted.
The fee is bit higher but almost affordable than other card providers

You card does not work. Which means either you do not know this or you do not have a card and just collect your signature count so you get more posts.

Idk if such a thing exists until today, as most debit card providers are controlled by Wavecrest holdings, and most of the crypto debit cards have since halted operation since November 1, 2017. Tenx still exists, though I'm not entirely sure what the fees are or whether or not they're affordable for US residents, and upon reading several posts above me, it seems that you're already using one, so why not stick to that then? As of this moment there aren't much options for a debit card provider as I see it.

Update: I made my first successful funding of my advcash account, I ordered my plastic card and I made my first payments with my virtual card.
They have some bugs, in some cases it tells that I am not allowed to do this and that because I reached my (unverified?) limits, but if I adjust the amounts it works.

Wagecan does indeed cost 180-225$ ?? Quite pricey...

If I am not mistaken Skrill accepts bitcoins and autotransfers it into fiat, have not used it for a while so I will need to check it. Also heard something about advcash, but again need to register and see myself. Nowadays I don;t trust anyone, unless try myself.

Big time, plus it is based in Asia. But it s OK to have alternatives. Advcash has introduced 500 EUR pay day limit for non EU/SEPA countries.

I don't think that there are many EU/SEPA users travelling outside EU/SEPA and use their cards.
AdvCash doesn't allow non EU/SEPA users get cards anyway.

The limits are not that bad. Their "gateway fee" and their bugs are much worse imho

A simple question, does anyone here s got any working crypto debit card besides Bitpay for US residents? Is there anything which works in Europe and the fees are not going to make me cry?

Once more, I d like to hear experience of people who have the card working ATM, not that preorder stuff.

Thx

I have used cards from both Bitplastic and WageCan, and both of them worked fine for me. (But then I am a resident of Indonesia and not the United States). Also, you can't complain too much about the fee. Including the currency conversion charges, the overall fee comes to around 10% to 12%.

It seems that you don't check what you're posting. Almost all of these cards are history now (except Shift which is US only and wasn't affected).

Since these sig campaigns started paying people for posting, lots of these posts are BS, just there to up post count. It lowers quality of this entire forum.

I have a Mistertango IBAN account and a MasterCard linked to it. I use the card when I travel and no ATM has refused it so far. Even here in Japan where only the Japan Post Bank and Seven Bank accept non-Japanese cards, I got some Yen with Mistertango’s MasterCard.

Shops accept it universally but PIN validation is required. Strangely Starbucks won’t let me key in the PIN so they refused the card outright. If a merchant refuses PIN input, Mistertango’s MasterCard will not work and the transaction will be declined.

I know of no other bitcoin card which is still alive and operational. BitPay offers a Visa card to US residents issued by Metropolitan Commercial Bank so that card might still be in active circulation and use. On their site it says

For US Residents:The BitPay Visa® Prepaid Card is issued by Metropolitan Commercial Bank, member FDIC, pursuant to a license from Visa, U.S.A. Inc. “Metropolitan” and “Metropolitan Commercial Bank” are registered trademarks of Metropolitan Commercial Bank © 2014. Use of the Card is subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Cardholder Agreement and fee schedule, if any.

For Non-US Residents:The BitPay Visa® Prepaid Card is issued by Wave Crest Holdings Limited pursuant to a license from Visa® Europe. Visa® is a registered trademark of Visa Incorporated. Wave Crest Holdings Limited is a licensed electronic money institution by the Financial Services Commission, Gibraltar.

which suggests non-US residents’ cards are probably the only suspended cards. Or?

It's actually 200EUR each month with no withdrawal fee. With the fees it's much more.

As mentioned by another poster above, it’s 200 Euros without fees but you can withdraw much more and will be charged the usual fees imposed on other cards. It’s a clever attempt to encourage card holders to use the card more often in the retail environment (for shopping, POS-based payments etc) rather than cash withdrawals. Limiting the no-fee threshold to 200 Euros will probably urge the fee-conscious card holder to withdraw no more than that much cash and use the card to pay in stores and shops instead. Excessive cash withdrawals are treated as suspicious by just about any card provider on this planet.

You can of course withdraw much more than 200 EUR but it might not be a good idea to withdraw thousands daily. This will trigger alarm bells.

I am going to register on cex.io. There is the possibility to make exchanges between Bitcoin., Ethereum and other common currencies like dollar. It is possible to transfer my coins to plastic card in real cash.
