when can we expect euro cards to go live? and if i was to use a $ card in the EU, what sort of charges can i expect aside from the normal 2% deposit fee? also, is there a withdraw fee if i want to remove bitcoins from the card?

thanks.

We expect euro and GB pound cards to be available in a month.
If you pay by your usd card in euros (or any other currency) the standard conversion fee (usd to euro) of 3% applies. As per ATM withdrawals the fee is 2.75euro/3.50usd per withdrawal.

Hope it helps.

ok thanks am i able to pre-order a EUR card? Smiley 3 actually. one for me and 2 other people i know want one.

You are welcome.
We suggest to create an account and we let you know when EUR cards are available to order.
Unfortunately, you can't order three EUR cards per account, only three in different currencies (EUR/USD/GBP).
 
ok, and do the cards convert to FIAT when bitcoins are sent to the card or when a transactions is done using the card?

currently we convert bitcoins to FIAT when you send them to the card, it also might be very useful when you want to lock bitcoin price (e.g. if price of bitcoin goes down) - all you need to do is to transfer bitcoin to your card and then, if you want, you can transfer FIAT back to bitcoins (e.g. if price goes up).
Note: card ->bitcoins transfer is coming soon




cool. what sort of security is being put into practice to prevent theft of bitcoins?
