Hi Ljubomir!

Last week we received a new communication from WaveCrest.

Due to a change in their Operating Permissions, WaveCrest has taken the step of closing all of its Visa prepaid cards with immediate effect.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask.

Best,
The SatoshiTango Team

wow, there still was a working wavecrest?

Is there anything which works in Europe and the fees are not going to make me cry?

I have just became the proud owner of a brand new virtual VISA card from Wirex.
Preev tells 6959 USD/BTC, Wirex tells 6889 USD/BTC, it's not that bad (well, preev already makes me cry tbh, but that's another story)

Please tell us more. Is this for UK? Have you loaded it yet? Is it instant or the same as before with waiting times? You still use the same page as before with their old card? Did you get an IBAN like they promised?
L.E. Nevermind, forgot to read VIRTUAL, sorry

it is worth to be interested in the project plutus> www.plutus.it. They work on payment cards and payment nfc

A lot of people are working on such projects, us the crowd want something that we can use today, not in 5 months

Take a look at Paycent card: https://paycent.com/

They are the only project currently which starts delivering their card. Their card comes under MasterCard card brand so it will be possible to use all PoS and ATM in the network worldwide. The delivery started today (30th April).

Worldwide coverage expect for few sanctioned countries.

Their mobile wallet app is live and supports BTC, ETH, LTC and very soon Dash, and native PYN token.

I’ve passed KYC and now I’m waiting for the delivery. Will let you now when I use it, but till then you can watch their CEO using it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ0SJVpDPVk

Take a look at Paycent card: https://paycent.com/

Their card cost $140, even though it is cheaper than Wagecan it is still a large amount.
Especially considering that Wirex has started to relaunch their service in Europe and will expand further.
If they priced it cheaper I would order it asap, but I'm not sure with $140.

Also, no mention of KYC on their website, is it possible to use their card without KYC?

One off fee is for four years, no additional maintenance fees. I don't know for how long is Wagecan valid. Fiat to crypto, and vice versa 1.5%.

KYC is necessary for the card, I passed mine within few working days.

[European Central Bank]

why has there been no mention of the coinbase shift card yet? that's available to plenty of americans. and it's a visa too so of course it's gonna work in europe as well, those fees might hurt all the same.

Wanted to share a short review of a new Wirex debit card. Due to my previous poor experience with Wirex (7-8 out of 10 card loads failed or took a REEEEAALLY LONG time and/or opening multiple tickets with them receiving only incoherent mumbling about some mysterious planned maintenance with no advance notice) I was expecting some kind of catch but I wasn't expecting something like this: max ATM withdrawal daily limit is....  250EUR! After checking my account I found that I was charged ~10EUR in fees! So it means to withdraw 1kEUR you'll have to pay ~40EUR in fees! What a RIPOFF! This is without taking into account their fake exchange rate and card maintenance monthly fees! The most interesting fact is that I wasn't able to find these fees and ATM daily limits on their website. So this card is completely unusable for me and my needs. Perhaps if you're planning to use it to pay in shops, restaurants etc it will be ok for you but the POS fees are also missing from their website.... so beware!

You should really learn to research a little for the info.
The limit is indeed 250 EUR/day, as I've found out here.
The fees are indeed big, but they are written down. If you are in Europe, you pay 2.25 EUR + 3%, which for your example is 9.75 EUR.
Their "fake exchange rate" gives them some 2-3% also, from what I've checked last year.

All in all, their fees used to be indeed far from small, but not really bigger than others'. I think that now they have an extra 3% at ATM withdrawal, but they have virtually no competition... Maybe when real competition will come up they'll reduce the fees, until then I guess not. All in all they try to make you (us) to use the cards in shops - they even promised some returns from that. I can bet that those values will be very small, but still...

Yes, if you dig really deep into their help center you'll find it. But why should one do any kind of research? It should be mentioned on this card order page: https://wirexapp.com/card/  if it's not there it means they have a reason to hide it otherwise nobody would ever want to order their card....   

As an alternative you can try Mistertango. They only charge 20EUR for every 1kEUR withdrawn and daily ATM limit is 1000EUR.

I agree that Mistertango is probably the best option for people that reside in Europe.
However, they also charge for BTC top-ups (if I recall it correctly, they charge 0.0025 BTC for
every top-up). This makes Mistertango unfeasible for small amounts.

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 never heard such crypto debit card, But if its really exist then it would be good and secure for us. We can access our coins without login into our wallets. But the thing which makes me more worried is its fee. I believe they applied highly fee while cash out. I would like to use this debit card but only if this problem get solved in future.

If there was an opportunity to have a crypto debit card, I would love to own that because I won't risk myself storing cryptocurrency online. Because of that I would be able to have confidence on my holding to be safe rather than vulnerable of being stolen. But for now it remains a dream for all of us now, and yet most of developing countries wasn't accepting cryptocurrency due to mis information and negative perceptions.
