Thanks for the warning. Their fees became way too high lately anyway

@ Bitwala, can't manage to go through their buying process. At some point, it is buggy (next button not working)

Ok, Bitwala = Simplex / Bitstamp, requires a billing address as well

Left out of ideas for now

Français ? Merci je vais essayer

I have tried Coinbase / CEX.io / CoinMama / BitPanda / SpectroCoin / Safello and failed

No problem to send verification documents
Be careful on using spectrocoin there are some scam accusations on its owner.

Correct in general but there are exceptions. https://www.bitpanda.com/?ref=5509611085142089037 you'll get more of about 5% fee than 10% despite the use of a card, alas only EUR denomination
But the real issue lies elsewhere, on the characteristics of the prepaid cards which are rejected most everywhere

An app @ LBC ? There, I am indeed concerned about the escrow quality. Cards are a very picky kind of item where it's easy to claim codes are invalid, or the card credit is empty, etc. + lots of scammers so like walking on a field of land mines ?

Thanks for the brainstorming anyway

Purse equals a 15%-30% fee. It would be my last resort
Bitit requires 3D secure
Paymium only accepts cards registered in France which is not my case (Malta)
Purchasing my quest  Huh

Purchasing Bitcoin with a card is usually charged higher, (~10%). So between a 10% fee to buy with your card and a 15% fee from Purse.io, there is only a 5% difference. Sometimes there are items listed for less than 15% also.
There are still LocalBitcoin where I have seen some sellers accepting cards (usually with an app) but still a higher fees.

You may try https://bitit.io/ but the thing is that after  25$ you will need to be a verified member by providing ID documents. Another solution is Paymium, it won't ask any document below a $1000 limit. I think with Bitwala, as you can buy Bitcoin theren, you can use a card only (they have a partnership with another company) may be good to try also. Which ones have you tried till now? It's quite hard to deal with cryptos and cards.

Hello,

Are there exchanges/exchangers accepting prepaid cards ? Basically cards which do not have a cardholder name neither are tied to a billing address and that do not offer the 3D Secure or Verified by Visa features.

It seems hard to find ! Cheers
