To update review SpectroCoin card supports buy and sell functions as well as has a mobile app for Android, iOS and Windows Phone.

Hi party ppl 

I might need your help because Im searching now for a long time but cant really find a card for my needs. Maybe you could give me some advise. Would need following:

Physical card (virtual would be ok but not perfect)
German IBAN, even if its just a corresponding bank as middleman.
Receiving deposits from third persons because I get most of my money from family members.

Verification via documets is okay for me and the min. max. deposit/withdrawal should not be 1000 Euros but up to 500 would be okay.

Thanks for reading guys n gals.

Yours,
Bertram

Thanks for the feedback.

Well, I update my status: CryptoPay verification process was too heavy and slow; in the other hand Wirex / E-Coin works smooth, so I decide to upgrade from virtual to a plastic Wirex.

I also have been watching BTC/USD exchange in Crypto Pay and Wirex, I think Wirex has the better perfomance.


EDIT August 26

I update my review of CryptoPay and Wirex:

CrptoPay
* Crypto Pay only takes the first 4 digits of BTC when you withdraw, you can lose some little money
* BTC buy rate is $10-$20 low than Wirex (the other reference I have)
* Buy rates information is unclear in its website, they switch betwen USD, Euros and GBP buy and sell rates. You must wait until they show the one you are interested to know.
* CP customer service is very slow, and they don't tell you all the facts you need to know. Removing that, they are very nice
* Plastic card almost took a month to arrive (To Latin America).
* Plastic card has no brand
* I didn't use the plastic card, I can't say anything about if it works fine.

Wirex
* Virtual (Visa) and plastic (Mastercard) work with out problem
* Sometimes the record of transactions are not showed correctly or aren't updated
* When you pay for first time in a store, there's a recharge of $1-$1.50... /I don't know if it's a Wirex Policy or a MC policy.
* Sometimes the Android app freezes when you're loading the card. it's more realiable to refund from E-Coin Website. Loading is very fast.
* This week I found no balance in my account... It seems there were a general problem and they solved it quickly. But it was scaring.
* Platic card took exactly 10 days to arrive (To Latin America)
* Plastic card has a Wirex brand (very nice if you want to talk about Bitcoin to your friends)


P.D. Given CryptoPay was frustrating for me, may be I'm going to test an ANX debit card.

Please post how it is when you get it. I use coinbase shift card but always could use another service for just in case moments.

Okay this saved me some time and headache.

Since I was debating on shift since I`m in the US, but I`m actually just turned off by coinbase in general on how they handle customers situations so I think I`ll choose either the xapo option or 1st option mentioned.

Your going to have to provide some personal info for pretty much any legit card that is in this thread if you want to deposit & withdraw any decent amount of money. It sucks but its just the way it is.

you can get an unverified account, just with lower limits:

When/if you decide you need more, you can provide copies of ID and proof of address to verify the account and increase the limits considerably

Have you try uquid card ? you can buy virtual card
uquid do not requested for ID or real information of your
uquid  100% anonymous for you

Hi there, I have a question.

Which debit card not issued by Wave Crest could you recommend? I've ordered a plastic CryptoPay debit card but in order to diversify I'd like to get another from different issuer. I'm in LatinAmerica.

By the way, I've been using Wirex virtual card, it works very nice!

Thanks!

I was looked for exactly same solution - card with very low fee for sell btc and minimal visa/mastercard conversion fee.

Unfortunately the best option for today that I have it's a coinsbank with general named card.
They have something like 0.5% fee for btc/fiat. But Mastercard 3% conversion fee is still there, as well in other services.

Also coinsbank provide expensive(100$) 'white' card  where conversion fee is only 2.5%.
But comparing to the general plastic card with price of 25$ you need to withdraw at least 20,000$ just for compensate high price of white card,
before start save some coins on this reduced exchange fee rate.

I wonder if any here can offer me a suggestion for a new card.

I have been using Spectrocoin's plastic card for a few weeks. To me it has been a good card because
Pros
 - no BTC deposit fee to Spectrocoin account
 - no FIAT transfer fee (from Spectrocoin account to MyChoice Prepaid Visa Card account)
 - Instant FIAT transfer from Spectrocoin to MyChoice card
 - Spectrocoin customer service has been very good and issued me free virtual AND plastic cards!
 - MyChoice android app shows me how much money I have on my card

However I am looking at new options because to me there is one big CON, Spectrocoin sells my bitcoin ~2.5% below the going market price! Obviously I know Spectrocoin needs to make money somewhere but I think 2.5% is too high. And because I spend Canadian dollar a lot of the time, the Visa 3% conversion fee means that I am losing about 5% of my coin value!

Does anyone have a suggestion for a card that either has lower foreign currency charges (for when I spend Canadian Dollar), or for a card that will offer me more $/BTC? I am open to buying a pricey plastic card if it means getting better rates for the next few years!

Thanks BTCTalk!

Most of the legal companies will not issue you any card without legal/ID proof documents. But earlier Xapo was issuing cards without any of these documents and you can withdraw maximum up to 1000$ and if your total withdrawal reaches this limit then you need to provide ID proofs to use this card. You can check their website.

I got in touch with wirex app. They stipulate various documents. I do not want to share any personal details.

you can order your Wirex virtual card via the Wirex app in Apple Store or Google Play (1st card is free) or via https://e-coin.io

More details here:

you are exactly right. we had notified via twitter, too.
The issue had lasted for a good several hours before fixed by WaveCrest

I just want to virtual card. not a problem at low limits for me. but I certainly do not want to share my id, address, photo etc.. which service would you recommend ?

Just for info.
I experience today problems with bitcoin debit cards from e-coin, advcash and coinsbank.
Since I can't also login to mychoice site from Wave Crest I think it's a problem related exactly to the Wave Crest bank.

hello!
just to be sure: are you referring to the image of the card in the card order page, or did you actually receive the card details, and it's a MasterCard? Please, clarify..
