Unfortunately not!

No, I believe it's because how they're running their business, using another type (or not) as a 3rd party. It's just a matter of set up and the country used to operate the business.
This say, you will never see anything that came from Visa or Mastercard's mouth the same way you will never see a statement to say using you card is not allowed to buy a Kalashnikov

There isn't any official issue with crypto that came from Visa or Mastercard's mouth, only pure speculations from people like you.
Ontopic, as an ePayments user, the debit card is ok, but minimum loading via Bitcoin is $50, which sucks sometimes, espcially when you need to withdraw the funds on a daily basis under that $50.

I wonder how they're managing to do this when their providers Visa/Mastercard still haven't fixed their issues re crypto. Or is something afoot with the new money processor licences being issued out of UK. I'm still sticking to my Revoluts and non-debit crypto card options at the moment, keep reading about a new card that later gets revoked. I do have high hopes for some of the Eastern European (still EU) jurisdictions. But it's going to be a while before people start trusting crypto debit cards again for a while. Like your questions point out, I've a feeling these new providers themselves don't really have the expertise of guys like Bitwala.

Seems that some new Bitcoin debit cards issuers appear which is a good news. At the moment we have a big hole for such services on the market. Still what worries me is the quality of services that will be provided.
Will this card be available worldwide? Should the coins be exchanged by loading the card or could be used directly from the wallet and then exchanged when spending?
