Maybe so but it would make very interesting reading. Just exactly how they are operating is the thing I am curious about. After any forum member that receives their card from the OP leaves feedback along with photos of the card (minus private details) others including myself might be able to post constructive comments. There are several aspects of this whole process that do not make sense so when users post their feedback it will help shed some light on things that might be somewhat hazy right now.
I don't understand what you don't understand about how this service works? I've written a few times but here's another one if you haven't put me on ignore or it won't be hard for you to read. OP is find people (or he is get access to people documents), and then account is open in some bank. That person is then deliver plastic card with all data to OP, and he is then sell that card to you. You pay for this service a little less than 1000 EUR per year, and that money is divided between the OP and the actual cardholder. The process is quite simple, there isn’t some great wisdom in how the whole thing works.

I would like to point once again that process is fully transparent from the side of a nominee. We do not use anyone's personal data to open a bank account behind one's back, that's what you would really call unethical behavior, as you were already referring to earlier in this thread.

hey, what "unethical side" are you talking about all the time?? OP cardholder and client are satisfied. Again - cardholder does it on his own and gets money for it, it is business, and this is exactly what free market means, don't you understand it?? try not to think in terms of regulations because today nazi financial system laws will never allow you to make anything without passing verification procedure heh if everything explained by the OP is true then it is really a nice solution, let's wait and see.. I had a similar card in the past and I am watching this topic with a great pleasure now

I received the card, it took some time because the post office doesn't work properly in my country due to COVID19. I will post an image tomorrow with a few details (still can't host an image due to my very high-speed internet connection: download 1.19 Mbps- Upload 0.09Mbps, yes you can laugh) The card comes with a document and a SIM card. Once received I got every instruction needed to use it. I will share my experience with it from time to time. I plan to use it with ATMs, POS, and online ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FhLk5Dbg%2FSans-titre.png&t=665&c=ovgJKnraUL96gQ) Thank you for your feedback, I do not have you on my IGNORE list.

You were inquiring about it before. How much my knowledge of Cyrillic serves me (and I was forced to learn it in school), the card was issued by a Russian BTБ (VTB) bank https://www.vtb.ru/ . I had a personal suspicion that it was not a bank in the EU, and the card only confirms that. Given the sanctions that Russia has, all transactions are under control and everything suspiciously is reported. Using a card like this on an ATM would make some sense to me, but for paying on POS devices in a place where more or less everyone knows me, it would attract attention. Card issued in someone else's name, in Cyrillic and owned by a Russian bank = big red flag.

My local shop would be rather surprised if I'd changed my name to Vitaly Kevchenko or something, but I can't remember the last time anyone checked a card I was using.
I'm not sure how fragile their relationships with card issuers would be, but it's certainly not going to be as robust as any Western operation. Like anything in cryptoland I would load and empty ASAP and not be all that surprised if it evaporated.

If it works who cares if it's Russian?
BTW, I don't see any information about how long it takes to load the card.

Of course, it works, the card is legitimately issued by one of the largest Russian banks in the name of some real person. But if you ever get into a situation where you have to explain where your card came from and why you use another person's official document, good luck with that. Loading card is not a problem, but you should keep in mind that there are a number of possible fees here. First fees for converting BTC to Russian rouble since card is issued in that currency, then from rouble to EUR and if you are not in eurozone one more conversion in local currency. I'm not saying that this kind of service doesn't make sense, of course it does for everyone who wants to avoid paying taxes, but you need to look at the bigger picture and understand what it's really about.

But if you ever get into a situation where you have to explain where your card came from and why you use another person's official document, good luck with that. A debit card isn't an official document. Still, the buyer has to trust that the seller didn't to anything fishy to acquire the card. It all might be perfectly legal in Russia where the card is likely to have been issued (it could also have been issued in one of the other countries where VTB has branches). Loading card is not a problem, but you should keep in mind that there are a number of possible fees here. First fees for converting BTC to Russian rouble since card is issued in that currency, then from rouble to EUR and if you are not in eurozone one more conversion in local currency.

Yes, OP mentioned FX fees are 1-3%, but he didn't mention whether it costs anything to load the card, or which exchange rate is used.

I received my card as well some days ago. As I told we agreed to have a week test period after which the seller gets my deposit from the escrow. I will make my necessary payments during the week and will share my feedback.

Yes, OP mentioned FX fees are 1-3%, but he didn't mention whether it costs anything to load the card, or which exchange rate is used. From our experience it takes 5-10 minutes to load the card after the transaction is confirmed. We are talking about loading via one of the instant exchange services from bestchange.com You see your price instantly on the order form, it is usually locked for 30 mins. Most of time price is a few % from the actual market. Your order is assigned a unique ID, which you can always use to inquire regarding the status of your exchange. The debit card which we offer is a tool, loading the card via one of the instant exchanges from bestchange.com is just one of examples how the card cab be used. I believe that feedback and actual usage examples of our first clients from Bitcointalk will be more demonstrative.

What I understand from this service is that it is designed to circumvent official allowed methods of obtaining the card. I am fairly sure this is not the best way to have a card that can be loaded with crypto because it is not official and offers no protection for the end user and could result in legal problems and governmental investigations for the person that has the card on their name depending on whether any transactions have been made that could be deemed to be questionable. My local shop would be rather surprised if I'd changed my name to Vitaly Kevchenko or something, but I can't remember the last time anyone checked a card I was using.
