Bitwala, a service allowing bill payment with Bitcoin in the EU, has just introduced its newest feature. Customers have an opportunity to use Bitcoin Debit Card and thus spend their bitcoins almost directly.
There are two kinds of card: virtual for the price of 5 EUR or physical which costs 10 EUR. The most outstanding feature compared to other competitors: the fee for card loading. Bitwala set it up at 0.5% of the amount, with a 1 EUR minimum. The same fee when users are making SEPA payments.
Jörg von Minckwitz, CEO of Bitwala told CoinTelegraph:
“Day by day we try to make it possible for our customers to live of Bitcoin entirely. With SEPA integration, it is already an equivalent to bank account but it was still hard to order stuff on the internet or get cash at an ATM. With our debit card program we solved those problems for Bitcoin users once and for all.”
