I'm looking for a debit card solution, but since I'm not EU/US citizen my options are close to none. Services are either scams, not operational or forever stuck in launch phase (like wirex/advcash). To make things harder all card-benchmarking sites care little about listing eligible countries or describing verification procedure steps per service. Most card services on the other hand are, of course, secretive about eligible country list, constraints in functionalities per country and verification steps, because they are very glad to take your personal documents and only after tell you the bad news. So, it's reallty tough to test them.

Big threads about debit cards here are extremely west-centric so they also care very little about the above.

VCC is not an option for me since I mostly need ATM withdrawals.

For Crypterium I think it's also not clear if it's operative.


EDIT: Now I also see, the ATM withdrawal functionalty for Crypterium is limited to only a few countries.

I have the same problem. ADV USD card was working but they no longer support loading the card. Unknown when/if they will resume.
Did you find a card that ships worldwide? I only need it to scan at POS terminals when I buy stuff at supermarkets for example.

It appears that they're no longer shipping the cards. The only way to order the card is by using the app, which seems to have a lot of issues. See the google play reviews[1] (order by "Newest").

Advcash has recently stated that they'll be providing international cards soon. I suggest you keep an eye on their thread[2] or if you don't mind using a virtual card, maybe check GetSpendl.

I suggest you to not use them. There are a dozen alternatives out there, especially if you live in Europe/UK or the US.

Crypterium might be your option for a worldwide card, but their KYC process is a pain in the ass.

Once a company silently stopped doing promotions even in their social media accounts has been stopped posting announcements, you should start investigating them because most likely they will turn into scams.

There's a thread on the Scam Accusation board towards them, WARNING: Do not use Paycent.com, they scammed me for 1141.6 USD + card fee.  But luckily OP got his lost money back after created a thread.

Are you also purchasing the card?

Do they really ship debit cards worldwide?

They went silent in January:
