Bitcoin-Wave, a Seychelles incorporated Bitcoin exchange ( with a french team ) dedicated to the European market, announces it will soon offer Bitcoin debit cards, enabling users to make transactions in the Euro-zone for free.
Bitcoin-Wave had partnered with a French payment card reseller and will offer Bitcoin payment cards operating on the Visa network.
Speaking with CoinTelegraph, Bitcoin-Wave CCO, G. Heni, said:
In the long term, Bitcoin-Wave is looking to remove withdrawals by bank transfer and only allow withdrawals by debit card. "The reason is because we are looking to provide the fastest solution available out there," explained Heni. "And bank transfers [take a while to process] and banks sometimes block transfers for futile reasons."

Introduced in October 2014, Bitcoin-Wave is a BTC/EUR exchange that holds the promise of creating an overall Bitcoin ecosystem where holders can spend their coins freely and conveniently.
The startup, which is firmly against "building systematic records of clients," was launched to compete against existing "companies whose sole aim is to make profits and partition the market by trying to regularize and therefore, limit the use of Bitcoin."
The company relies on its own model, what it calls "TYC," or "Trust Your Customer," ( http://cointelegraph.com/news/112927/instead-of-using-kyc-we-prefer-to-use-our-own-model-tyc-trust-your-customer-bitcoin-wave-cco-g-heni ) in opposition to the famous KYC, Know-Your-Customer policy.
Bitcoin-Wave, which currently serves more than 300 users, admits the number is still small, but believes it has a bigger role to play in the industry.
The company is looking to attract new users by providing fresh and practical ways of spending Bitcoin, while keeping in mind its ethics as being transparent and respectful of customers' privacy.
Starting from today, Bitcoin-Wave customers can pre-order their Bitcoin debit card. The card itself costs €30 (delivery cost included) and in accordance with the company's values, users can spend up to €2,500 without the need of providing any identification document.
The debit card fee structure works as followed:
Transactions and withdrawals within the Euro zone:
Confirmed users can deposit and spend as much as €15,000, and withdraw up to € 620in cash per day.
Following its Bitcoin payment card, Bitcoin-Wave further said it is working on adding new deposit options, including instant bank transfers, and is looking to conclude a partnership in the coming months with a French subsidiary of Skrill, a major online payment service that counts over 36 million account holders from 200 countries.

"We wanted to provide a solution to one of the biggest demands from European Bitcoin users: the ability to spend cash quickly.
Currently, the process is really long, as it often requires requesting a withdrawal, waiting for it to be confirmed, and delays between banks, especially during weekends, are never-ending.
With the debit card, withdrawals are instant and users can use their card anywhere in the world."

Hello,
Thank you for your response.
Know that indeed, we also find that the deposit fees of 0.01 BTC are too high. This is why we are going to cancel the the deposit fees, and in their place instate withdrawal fees which will increase to 0.005 BTC.
Moreover, our payment processor has just notified me that they cannot continue to work with us given the risk of credit card fraud.
We had anticipated this, which is why payment by credit card will come back within two weeks. We are setting up a system linked directly to our bank.
All customers have been reimbursed, and the people who had deposited bitcoin have been recredited (with no fees, of course).
We are sorry for these setbacks, which are not caused by us, but our common enemy, the banks
The deposits by SMS+/PCS/Paysafecard are operational, from tomorrow you will also be able to deposit by bank transfer.
P.S : I just see that your bitcoins was purchased now. You can ask a new bank transfer

Just registered. Platform looks nice, also the principle as a whole.
Just tried my first credit card test deposit and it went through instantly.
However, I see no market orders for sales. That might change when more users will start trading here.
As a personal opinion, I think the fee for btc deposits/withdrawals is a little too high (0.01 BTC for each). Hope it won't stay this way forever.
Overall, a great website and service.
Just testing my first SEPA withdrawal. Curious on how fast it will go.
If you prove trustworthy , You just gained yourselves an active trader here. And many others.
Respectfully,
Christian D.

Hello everyone, I'm here to present an exchange platform that I designed.
Many of us have worked on it, and we are proud to present: Bitcoin-wave.com / https://www.bitcoin-wave.com
So, what is Bitcoin-wave?
We are a Bitcoin exchange platform in EURO for the moment.
We allow everyone to buy and sell bitcoins.
To fill a euro account, we have implemented:
We want to be completely transparent, which is why for every deposit, the user will be informed in real time of the amount he will have available after the fees.
For transactions, we apply a 0.50% fee.
So it's a classic platform?
Not really.
First, we wanted to create a flowing and aesthetically pleasing interface to improve the user experience.
Then, we realized that Bitcoin is above all a community, which is why we have designed the Wave.
What is the Wave?
The Wave is a space where everyone will be able to search the sales and purchases of other members.
Everyone will be able to check the transaction and also comment on it.
There are two advantages to this: first, to be able to share with and sometimes even influence others, and second, to be able to copy the actions of a member, because when a person first starts with Bitcoin, it's more useful to have benchmarks and to follow the lead of a proven "trader."
Of course, we also thought to set up privacy settings that are completely customizable and intuitive.
