I don't know if something is changed, but now they are exactly the same as Xapo.

Both are using the service of mychoicecorporate.com, and if you look ad the advcash, that uses "wavecrest"

"MyChoiceCorporate" Shocked

So, Xapo, E-Coin and Advcash are all of them using the same supplier of cards.

It has been like that since day one

The Gibraltar bank is lenient towards Bitcoin companies (for now)

These are prepaid cards unlike the Xapo or Bit-X Debit Cards.

It's a VISA debit card, it's accepted everywhere and can be loaded with bitcoin or other services like PayPal or Skrill.

Yes, it's a prepaid card. A user sells his Bitcoin in advance and loads the card with fiat. Which isn't that special.

I can see you are advertising similar service (with far higher fees 3% atm withdrawal + FX fees + inactivity fees + extra fees for embossing card holder name) in different topic, the fact that you'r trolling in our topic doesn't look very professional

I'm not trolling in anyway. Also the fees are very similar (Bit-X and E-coin's). Feel free to try both out.

I've personally tested Xapo, Bit-X, e-coin, advcash debit cards and have come to the conclusion that Xapo and Bit-X are the better option (fee and service wise). Xapo is the cheaper of the 2 however they are still in a beta phase, so cards aren't available to everyone (some fees haven't kicked in yet either).

Currently it's possible to have 3 different cards (USD,GBP and EUR) and transfer bitcoin to the card of choice (it removes all currency conversion fees and makes E-Cards one of the cost/time efficient solution for BTC<->FIAT conversion).

There is no ATM withdrawal/Online shopping or any other hidden fees - you get exact amount you see on the screen

It's instant conversion and works 24/7
