Yup, here:
Bitpay Card ATM Withdrawals Suspended - Possibly Permanently


As for alternatives, I think that at the moment Wirex is the only option (got my card last week).

Scratch that, I see on your profile you're from the US.

Been using BitPay for a while now and do love the convenience on how it works. Being able to use it at an ATM and pull cash out is is awesome UNTIL they suspended those functions about 2 weeks ago and have kept their lips really tightly sealed about if they ever will happen again. One of the major points of having one of these cards was to be able to use it just like a normal ATM card but not having any cash out features at all really makes it useless. In the original email I received telling customers that all cash out features will not be available because of a “conversion” I guess is nice way of telling everyone in a really political way that cash withdrawal features will no longer be part of the model. Since that original email on March 8th there has nothing been but silence about what’s going on. You can ask anyone from BitPay and they will all pretty much tell you the same thing. Nothing. I highly suspect cash out features via ATM will cease to exist with their services and they’ll just let it disappear into the fog. Yea you still can perform ACH transfers but that defeats the purpose of having the cash going through another industry to monitor and track your money. The ability to grab cash the same day was a very good feature but unfortunately I think that feature is not in Bitpays lineup to supply with its customers. Is anyone else in the same boat here? I get paid here and there for small odd jobs low income and would like to access those funds right away using their cash out features which have been out for over 3 weeks now. Does anyone know what really is happening here to BitPay or is their lips so tight for everyone? Also, what alternative is there just like BitPay out there that works in the same way? Uses a Visa card where I can purchase just like with any Visa card but also has the feature of pulling the cash out at an ATM with very minimal fees and have the cash in hand just after one confirmation. There has to be other services like this. I just found it so convenient and hard to let it go but if their cash out feature does not work not really worth having.

Thanks!
