You can email them via their support email (on their website).

Or you can post on their ANN thread:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-mistertango-bitcoin-friendly-european-bank-account-free-mastercard-1972805

Or send them a PM.

The Mistertango account is linked to this exchange:

http://btc-exchange.com/

When you open a Mistertango account, you will be assigned a static bitcoin address. When you send bitcoins to the address, it will be converted to EUR based on the best possible sell rate shown on the exchange site above.

As for the fee, read through the ANN thread above. I found this post on that thread:

The fee is 0,5%, but no less than 0.005 BTC. Meaning, that you pay at least 0.005 if the transaction amount is less than 1 BTC.



Just a heads up warningsigns. They have just updated their fees.

Thanks for your response.
I have had a look at the website, but I can't seem to see the fee for loading with bitcoins. Could you advise please.

This card may be of use as I travel a fair bit around Europe.
I will be in Germany next year, so good to know that you have used it there in shops and at ATM's.

BTW Do you know if it works in Switzerland?


It works everywhere. The card is a true embossed and EMV-chipped MasterCard.

The fees are mentioned here:

https://mistertango.com/en/wp-content/uploads/Mistertango-pricelist.pdf

Every month you are allowed to withdraw up to 200 Euros and pay no fees for that transaction. For additional transactions, the usual fee applies. It's all on the link above.

The card is valid for 3 years.

More about this account:

https://mistertango.com/en/bank-account/

They have a nice app which sends you emails alerting you of transactions whenever you use the card.





I did download the PDF and look thru the website. But still couldn't find any fees for loading the card with bitcoin.
I just looked thru it again.
Maybe I'll contact them.

Yes in Europe, UK.
Have you used mistertango ?


Yes, I have been using Mistertango since August this year. I load the account with bitcoins and use the card at shops and ATMs. I also use the account to send SEPA transfers to my account in Berlin. I know my German bank has a tendency to close accounts linked to bitcoin activities so I don't use it to receive transfers from exchanges such as Kraken or Bitstamp. Instead, what I now do is load bitcoins into my Mistertango account. Then I do a SEPA transfer from that account to my German account. They see it's coming from an account in my name so no questions asked.

To open a Mistertango account you will need to be verified. You can do this online on their app. They won't open an account if you can't provide an acceptable form of identification (usually a passport or EU ID). If you are from the UK, there is no national identity card so I"m sure it would have to be a passport.

If you live in the EU, you can get a visa card if you sign up for a Cryptopay account. If you don't live in Europe, they won't give you the card.

You can also consider getting a Mistertango account. The account comes with a free MasterCard and an fully functional IBAN account. The website is https://mistertango.com/en/

Bad experience with WageCan. I wouldn't recommend buying their card. Expensive fees and pathetic card limits. Customer support is lacking and risk of account blockage even after completing KYC verification.

The Mistertango card works on ATMs and merchants. They ship the cards worldwide and it has decent limits.

I have been looking for bitcoin debit cards.

I have come across a few in a search, but to be honest some of them look pretty dodgy.

Are there any that you have personally used that are legit and have a good service?

Equally please post if you know them to be a scam.




Neteller offer to topup your debit with bitcoins @1% I think is the chepeast around.
