I have a Mistertango IBAN account and a MasterCard linked to it. I use the card when I travel and no ATM has refused it so far. Even here in Japan where only the Japan Post Bank and Seven Bank accept non-Japanese cards, I got some Yen with Mistertango’s MasterCard.

Shops accept it universally but PIN validation is required. Strangely Starbucks won’t let me key in the PIN so they refused the card outright. If a merchant refuses PIN input, Mistertango’s MasterCard will not work and the transaction will be declined.

I know of no other bitcoin card which is still alive and operational. BitPay offers a Visa card to US residents issued by Metropolitan Commercial Bank so that card might still be in active circulation and use. On their site it says

For US Residents:The BitPay Visa® Prepaid Card is issued by Metropolitan Commercial Bank, member FDIC, pursuant to a license from Visa, U.S.A. Inc. “Metropolitan” and “Metropolitan Commercial Bank” are registered trademarks of Metropolitan Commercial Bank © 2014. Use of the Card is subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Cardholder Agreement and fee schedule, if any.

which suggests non-US residents’ cards are probably the only suspended cards. Or?

Isnt Mistertango limited to 200 EUR per month or something like that?

It's actually 200EUR each month with no withdrawal fee. With the fees it's much more.

Seems like an option to consider, thx.

If I am not mistaken Skrill accepts bitcoins and autotransfers it into fiat, have not used it for a while so I will need to check it. Also heard something about advcash, but again need to register and see myself. Nowadays I don;t trust anyone, unless try myself.

wow dude thanks for that .I have a skrill card for ages and never knew that Smiley

As mentioned by another poster above, it’s 200 Euros without fees but you can withdraw much more and will be charged the usual fees imposed on other cards. It’s a clever attempt to encourage card holders to use the card more often in the retail environment (for shopping, POS-based payments etc) rather than cash withdrawals. Limiting the no-fee threshold to 200 Euros will probably urge the fee-conscious card holder to withdraw no more than that much cash and use the card to pay in stores and shops instead. Excessive cash withdrawals are treated as suspicious by just about any card provider on this planet.

You can of course withdraw much more than 200 EUR but it might not be a good idea to withdraw thousands daily. This will trigger alarm bells.

It seems that you don't check what you're posting. Almost all of these cards are history now (except Shift which is US only and wasn't affected).

Since these sig campaigns started paying people for posting, lots of these posts are BS, just there to up post count. It lowers quality of this entire forum.

A simple question, does anyone here s got any working crypto debit card besides Bitpay for US residents? Is there anything which works in Europe and the fees are not going to make me cry?

Once more, I d like to hear experience of people who have the card working ATM, not that preorder stuff.

Thx

I have used cards from both Bitplastic and WageCan, and both of them worked fine for me. (But then I am a resident of Indonesia and not the United States). Also, you can't complain too much about the fee. Including the currency conversion charges, the overall fee comes to around 10% to 12%.

Update: I made my first successful funding of my advcash account, I ordered my plastic card and I made my first payments with my virtual card.
They have some bugs, in some cases it tells that I am not allowed to do this and that because I reached my (unverified?) limits, but if I adjust the amounts it works.

Wagecan does indeed cost 180-225$ ?? Quite pricey...

Big time, plus it is based in Asia. But it s OK to have alternatives. Advcash has introduced 500 EUR pay day limit for non EU/SEPA countries.

I don't think that there are many EU/SEPA users travelling outside EU/SEPA and use their cards.
AdvCash doesn't allow non EU/SEPA users get cards anyway.

The limits are not that bad. Their "gateway fee" and their bugs are much worse imho Smiley

Idk if such a thing exists until today, as most debit card providers are controlled by Wavecrest holdings, and most of the crypto debit cards have since halted operation since November 1, 2017. Tenx still exists, though I'm not entirely sure what the fees are or whether or not they're affordable for US residents, and upon reading several posts above me, it seems that you're already using one, so why not stick to that then? As of this moment there aren't much options for a debit card provider as I see it.

Yeah i ordered xapo bitcoin debit card in 2016, allows me to spend bitcoins on ATMs and online shopping websites, i can take a lot of benifits from this card. You can simply deposit bitcoins into your xapo wallet and spend them as like fiat anywhere where debit cards are accepted.
The fee is bit higher but almost affordable than other card providers

You card does not work. Which means either you do not know this or you do not have a card and just collect your signature count so you get more posts.

Let me counter that with a question, why in the world would you trust a company like Monaco which promised their clients rewards, people bought their ICO token mostly cause of that, then Monaco said "geee, not possible sorry" How is that not a terrible decision making and even worse contingency planning??
There is no way I d ever hold their card after that.

With Tenx, they did great job before this Wavecrest issue. If they do not keep their promises, I ll move to Bitpay or something else. I value my money too much to give it to incompetent players. For now, Tenx seems to have 4x more client compared to Monaco, that is the fact. They also had a card 3 months before Monaco, as far as I know Monaco has not even started delivering cards and I used Tenx card 2 months ago. In my book, they beat Monaco on every front. Let us see who delivers new cards first.

Also, please do not derail this thread, if you d like to continue this discussion, pls PM me.

This is hardly derailing a thread. If a person wants to choose a debit card, they ought to have as much information as possible, and the quality of the issuing company is, I'd say, quite on topic.

TenX had to do exactly the same with their token, except they had to rush it out last minute. They broke the same "promise", and that's simply because what they were offering was clearly pointed out to constitute a security (which would have caused delisting from exchanges). Again, Monaco had the honesty and forethought of doing this in good time and transparently. TenX did not.

Sure, they had cards issued sooner. Cards issued through a shady partner where every other card was going to to avoid having to do any real work. Quick to market, quick off the market.

Monaco is taking things slowly, and they're going much further. They have succesfully obtained VISA membership, and they partnered with a world-class manufacturer/issuer.

Now, existing cards are, IMHO, either shady or too expensive. Or dead, in TenX's case.
The honest answer to OP is to wait for a company that has been doing things well.

As I ve said, if case Tenx fails to deliver additional value to their token in a form of some kind of reward, I ll quit using them immediately. However, I am 99% sure they will not do this cause if they wanted to go that way, they would have done it by now. So I would not say then broke their promise, they are just a bit late on that.

Besides, let me ask you one thing, what happens with Tenx Pay token price if they do start delivering some form of payment, ha? It ll go to $50 long term. Lots of other companies already deliver some form or reward payments. Kucoin does it, Bankera does it, etc, etc. How come they have no problems with that? So it s not something cannot be done, it s just Monaco cares more about selling cards to US market then to keeping their promises since US regulations are the only issue related to securities. EU and the rest of the world does not have problem with crypto rewards. So they opted to go back on their promise so they could make more money. So no, they will not see a dime from me. Reputation cant be bought.

On the other hand, what value does Monaco token hold without rewards? Why did people buy it besides to give free money to Monaco company? Without rewards, card tokens are based on speculation only and this is hardly something which is related to real businesses.

I do not see sense now to have such a map. To pay by bitcoin you will not succeed. For shopping you will have to use intermediaries in the exchange of bitcoins for Fiat. It is more expensive than selling bitcoin on the exchange and withdraw Fiat to a Bank card. I hope that the situation will change in the future but this would require bitcoin really become the currency.

I also hope that this situation can be changed in the future so we can use debit or credit card of bitcoin in all over the world with very low fee and high speed transaction then more and more people will interest to ise the service and of course to increase the cryptocurrency marketcap.

It would be awesome to have a crypto debit card but thinking about the fees makes me prefer to just exchange the coin to fiat and spend it normally. I have heard about TenX and some were able to successfully use it not sure about Europe though.
