Hello, recently (and you guys may already know about it) the German company Wirecard AG filed for insolvency as they somehow had $2 Billion USD missing from their balance.

 One of their subsidiaries Wirecard Card Solutions Limited based in the UK is the provider of a prepaid credit card (MasterCard) used by a bunch of companies, one of them being Payoneer, a service that allows you to invoice clients around the world and have your money ready to be used in any PoS and online using said card. As a result of the parent company filing for insolvency, and their stock price basically going to 0 UK financial authority issued an order to freeze the accounts in which WDCS should have its clients money.

I live in Venezuela, the government has sanctions made by the USA which makes companies turn their heads at the possibility of making business here (and everything is justified, this is an authoritarian, dictatorship government). Payoneer was (as far as i know) the only company that provided such a service here.

Since i know that many business related to cryptocurrencies are offering prepaid credit cards i went out in a search for an alternative  to Payoneer to invoice my clients and be able to use my money, only to find out that none of them (that i found) send the cards to Venezuela or even allow you to register.

I really want to avoid Paypal as their fees are too high (my average transaction is $1000 and paypal wants a 25% of that ??!?)  

Is there a cryptocurrency platform that allows me to send invoice to clients in the EU or NA, let them pay with their credit cards / bank transfer and allow me to have a card to spend the money or use an ATM?

if not, is there a cryptocurrency platform that allows me to collect payments (same as first question) but instead of giving out a card, have it converted automatically to cryptocurrency? So my clients pay with their preferred method of payments and the platforms gives my the equivalent in cryptocurrency to an address under my control?

I have ALL of my money frozen right now because of all of this wirecard fiasco, and I'm lucky because one of my clients is just about to pay me so i need to find an alternative ASAP so i can pay rent and buy food.

I really want to get out of the fiat financial system and embrace cryptocurrency at 100% (until now i was just a casual user) and i know at least other 30 people just like me that would immediately jump to such platform if it exists.
