i seen anx card but the fees for each use do not seem good , i like no monthly fee but come on $1.25 for each transaction purchase at store is something else. Even prepaid normal visa or mastercards are not raping people like this. Hi DARKANGEL6415, I am not sure where you read that about the fees on our card. There is no POS purchase free on any of our cards. For our ANX Premium Card, the only fee there is is when you withdraw from an ATM. https://anxbtc.com/pages/#/card-compareIf you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Have a Happy New Year. i am really glad you on here i wont ask private question i will just put it on here. So the card from ANX from what i seen has no fees except to take out money at atms is this correct. All purchases from online stores like amazon or at local stores like walmart or gas stations will NOT have any fees correct. There is also no cost to load the card is this also correct? If all the following are correct how does ANX make money to keep going? Also are the cards a visa or master card logo. In the mean time while this is answered i am trying to find where i seen fee comparison between Xapo and ANX. Also forgot to ask does the ANX cards ship to people in the usa and how long does it take and does the card come in our personal names? Is this card also allow you to spend in real time like Xapo card where it auto sells or do we have to do the work and how do we deposit into it cash, bitcoins other alt coins? 1. It is correct, there are no fees on the ANX Premium card, except for ATM withdrawals. 2. There are no fees on any POS/Online Purchases. 3. There are no card loading fees. 4. We aren't telling you  5. I believe that the ANX Premium card is a Mastercard card, but I am not 100% sure. 6. Yes, we ship our cards worldwide. 7. No, the card will only have "ANX" printed on it as its name. 8. Our card currently doesn't support the Xapo functionality to auto sell on purchase. 9. You can deposit Bitcoins onto your ANX account, and then load it onto your card. The bitcoins will be exchanged into USD and then stored on your card. That article is very old. You can find a new table with our current fees here. For protection, your card comes with a PIN. I'm not sure how stuff like this works in the USA, but here in Europe you have to put in your PIN on every POS purchase. perfect thank you for answering my questions. I am a little bit concerend as to the card not having a name on it is there a reason for this. I travel alot and use hotel services and fly alot / rent cars. How will i be able to use this card to book a hotel, get a plane ticket, or rent a car if there is no name on t they can match to my ID? I open account just now and submit verification after reading this answers and got message saying they will send me a code by mail? Is this mail coming from the USA or is it from somewhere else where we have to wait long time. I also see they offer free card if account is verified by January 31st 2015 but i see it only applies to the card that holds funds in HKD that would charge me $30 to use the ATM lol. Is there any was to get the Premium card without paying high shipping fees and what is the delivery speed between registered mail and expedited mail to the USA 1. I don't think there would be any problem with that. 2. It comes from our offices in Hong Kong, but the delivery speed is very quick. It should take less than a week. 3. I would suggest to simply get the HKD card and upgrade the shipping to get the ANX Premium card. You can also just get the ANX Premium card, load 0.9 BTC, and we will give you the card cost back. ok i will see what i can figure out cause noway i am dropping $300 0.9btc into something i have not tried out yet or see how will work for things like hotel rentals or airplane tickets.
i understand what you are saying but i stay at hilton hotels and i can tell you right off bat. They need a credit or debit card that has persons name on it to work / match id. Only exception they make is on company credit cards that have business name on them. As for airlines i am sure they might have issue but never know. Is there any reason why ANX will ask for verification information but not send cards out with peoples name they verify?[/b] From what I understand only banks can issue debit cards with the customers name on it |

The verification information is to make sure that you are an actual human, and to comply with KYC/AML laws. We cannot issue cards with names printed on them because that would be far too costly, since we would have to personalize each card. We simply order a bunch of cards from our partners, and distribute them, which is why they only have "ANX" printed on them. What you could try is to sign the card at the back, and then provide the same signature when you are paying. |

I thought XAPO cards are not available for the US subscribers, not sure if that was the complaint... Unfortunately I hear very little on Coinbase / Shift debit card integration around here which I must admit I would jump on right away. |

To clarify, I'm a EU resident and I'm not sure why but my Xapo account couldn't pass their checks, here's the message I received: ACTION REQUIRED - Important Update Regarding Your Xapo Account
Dear Xapo User,
Thank you for providing the information we requested from you earlier. After completing our review, Xapo has determined that we are unable to provide our services to your account. This decision is based on multiple factors utilized in our screening process, though for security reasons we are not able to provide specific details.
Xapo will be returning your funds to you and closing your account. To assist Xapo in returning your funds to you, please click here and submit your information by Monday, February 23, 2015.
Please note that clicking on the link will direct you to a third-party website hosted by FormSite.
Regards,
Xapo Team
I asked them to delete my account but I can still log into the site, not very professional. On the other hand I ordered a debit card from https://anxbtc.com/ without any difficulties and I should receive it next week. |

I recommend https://e-coin.io EXCEPT the site went down a few days ago for ~24 hours. I can't find a physical address on their site, where are they based? Do you have/use one of this card? |

They have a thread on Bitcointalk, here, somewhere... search for "Bitcoin debit card" in the title. I do have and use one. Have it linked to my PayPal and use it for paying server bills with BTC |

Here is the e-coin.io thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=917350.0Bottom of first post contains some company and operator info. Admittedly, it looks a bit dodgy at first glance, a bunch of russians who incorporated in the UK using a bank in Gibraltar, but the guys have pretty solid credentials, they are using "mychoice" as visa provider, which seems to be a legit operation. Anyway, Ive been using their card for a while too, and so far Im quite pleased with it and their service. Im just not ready yet to trust them with large amounts, but I wouldnt trust any visa prepaid card with that after the mbank fiasco. |
