Wirexapp is a reputable service however, Canada is not supported as you can see here[1]. Crypto.com visa card is the only good alternative I managed to find[2]

Also, check the Coinbase card they do support Canada.

And I think Binance also offers the same thing you can check this link below.

As per this[1] article apparently the wait time for Canadians is 7-14 days. Not really sure what you mean by "stake" in this case though.

No, not necessarily. Staking will give you some extra benefits, but you can still order a card if you don't want to do that. See the Midnight blue card from the link I shared.

Hope you don’t mind me asking you seem to know one thing or two about ADVCash
Is Advcash an alternative to master or visa cards ? Could their cards be accepted for payments by merchants worldwide and money withdrawal from atms ? Or is unionpay extremely limited for that matter ??

It's widely used but not as much as Visa and MasterCard. According to their official site, over 90% of the merchants accept UnionPay in Canada[1]. I don't see why would you order it though. It's quite expensive compared to Crypto.com.

They both have physical and virtual, while the physical one is optional. It's in the article mate; read it!

Virtual cards aren't available in Canada yet unfortunately. If you look on Reddit, lead times for Crypto.com cards seem to be much longer than 2 weeks these days, especially if it's a free (no stake required) card. Even some people that have staked $50k have needed to wait over a month to get their card. I think they're having trouble keeping up with demand from all the advertising they've been doing. If you have any urgent need for a Crypto.com card, I would not recommend one at the moment.

I'd recommend ShakePay's virtual card instead. They have functional virtual cards that are issued instantly, so you don't need to wait. The downside is that they don't issue a physical card AFAIK so you can't spend more than the Google/Apple Pay limits if you were to pay in store. Netcoins also has a card that looks interesting, but I don't believe it's launched yet.

Also, check the Coinbase card they do support Canada.

Neither Coinbase or Binance cards are available for Canadians. Binance might be coming soon, since they acquired Swipe a while back who was planning on launching in Canada next, but it's hard to trust any timeline for crypto debit cards. Crypto.com mentioned that virtual cards would come to Canada soon™ quite a few months ago, yet it's still nowhere to be seen.

How about all over the world are union pay cards accepted in merchants and can be used to withdraw money from ATMs ?? Say countries like turkey for example ??

Also any other services offering visa or master card for turkey or really worldwide ?…

I really can’t find any sadly …

[LeGaulois]

The cards are not accepted everywhere with ATMs. It depends on the partnerships with the banks. Usually, near the screen, you see stickers, Visa Mastercard, etc.. (these are the accepted cards). If you don't see a sticker, it means that the ATM doesn't take it.

In my country, 1/3 of ATMs do not accept UnionPay.

The same goes for merchants (whatever if it's online or IRL). It's not accepted everywhere and it also depends on partnerships between Union Pay and banks. That's why Chinese tourists struggle to pay with a card and prefer to use cash during their holidays. Businesses that accept payments via UnionPay are mainly luxury, duty-free stores, and luxury hotels.

If you haven't found any in the list that has been shared, you are unlikely to find any.

Thanks a lot for the information

Some of the services in the list r sadly scams and some are outdated a d couldn't find a single genuine provider offering cards worldwide or even for the UAE or turkey sadly ! Crypterium was ONE option but they too seized their services recently for credit cards ...

I wouldn't mind even a service depositing crypto directly to my bank card or account super fast with minimum fees (a local reputed exchange where I live...) so I guess I will be looking for those here in turkey...
