Topic: Bitwala - Get ready for Blockchain Banking - page 24. (Read 38829 times)
I used the service of Bitwala a lot this year am I am almost pleased. One time they forgot the reference text (that's what the other side, the seller, told me). The only thing I don't like, is that they promise to proceed the transfers within hours on working days, but sometimes it takes more than 24 hours actually. So, this could be much better. All in all it's a great service. And, if possible, they should do payments to PaypLa accounts again, but I guess it was cancelled due to fraudulent actions. :/
any plans to make a USA version?
Yes, but don't terminate your regular bank account just yet.
US is the toughest nut to crack so far.

can you pay uk household bills with your site
Yes, you can. We've posted an article about paying your bills in the UK with Bitcoin via Bitwala, see here: http://about.bitwa.la/bitwala-coming-home/

Who is the card issuer? Where can I find the current btc/eur exchange rate?
The card issuer is MyChoice. You can see the current exchange rate in the top left corner after you log in.
So, to load the card with 1 BTC will cost for me: "rate in the top left corner" minus 0.5% = €393.71 (21.04.2016 17:14 UTC) - €1,96855 = €391,74 ?
Not quite. The fee is added. So in your example, to load up the card with €393.71 (= 1 BTC), you will be asked to pay 1.005 BTC = €395.68.
Maybe I was incorrectly expressed, but it is the same. In my example I have only 1 BTC (=€393.71), so I will get 0.995 BTC = €391,74.?
That is correct.
No, there is no hidden fee. We charge 0,5% for every transaction on top of the Bitcoin exchange rate that is quoted. And usually, the exchange rate is quite good compared to the main exchanges. And we're always working on getting a better exchange rate in the first place.
So your statements like "We have the lowest fees and the best exchange rate." and "We charge 0,5% (but saying nothing about additional paygate's fee) for every transaction on top of the Bitcoin exchange rate that is quoted. And usually, the exchange rate is quite good (now it's usually, not always?) compared to the main exchanges." are untrue and it looks like you are trying to deceive your potential customers.
Sorry if there's any misunderstandings, let me explain you the process again:
The exchange rate that is stated on our website after login is the one we use. That is usually what you would get at the major exchanges, sometimes a little more, sometimes slightly less. We add our fee of 0,5% on top of that, and that's it. There are no hidden fees.

what ver1 month?
You are offering interesting and useful service but I can already pay the bills with my Bitcoin Visa debit card so at the moment I don't have the need for it and the provision is much smaller. But in case that I would need your services, just tell me if this is applicable in.all European countries or there are some restrictions?
Our service is available in all European countries, no restrictions.

Didn't work under tails OS, so linux with firefox.
The side didn't load completely. Seemed to be connected to the server but endet in a white screen. Reloading and trying multiple times didn't solve the problem.

Hi,
your issue could be caused by some Firefox Plugin that is used in Tails, possibly NoScript. Hope that helps you identify the problem, we're not experiencing any trouble on our side.

Hi,
the distinction is only important for international bank transfers. From which country the transfer comes from depends on the country you send it to, you can't generalize. If that's a really important information, please send an email to [email protected] with the receiving country, and we can probably tell you more.
Hope that answers your questions!
Cheers
