Ready to Shakepay ? Wink

https://dashpay.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DOC/Debit+Cards

"Dash and BTC holders can now topup virtual or physical Shake Debit Cards and make purchases at any merchant accepting EUR and USD through the popular payments network. Once topped up, the Shake Debit Card lets users spend their Dash while paying merchants in their preferred currency."

I'd just like to say i've been using Shake for around 2 months now and it is a great way to spend Dash anywhere that accepts Visa without having to go through Bitcoin or your bank.

You can top up your card on the Shake site with Instant Send and the funds clear immediately and I have successfully done a Dash -> Visa remittance with a merchant within around 20 seconds end to end. One caveat to this is last week they had some delays on the fiat processing side which they are working on as it is a beta service.

We've also built up a close relationship with Jean from Shake and his team and are working together to position Shake as a flagship merchant on Evolution when it is launched and building in some of the recommendations Jean has advised from a merchant perspective as we are also doing with ProtonMail.

Obviously Shake is a centralized service and requires trust for the amounts you deposit but this is a given whenever you need to go via a facility like Visa.

But if you have small amounts you wish to spend directly via Visa, I would highly recommend Shake for Dash users, and ultimately we would like lots of services like Shake plugged into Evolution that are in competition to provide a reliable service and you can access / top up direct from your wallet.

Tap & pay? NFC?
Tap & pay is a contactless method of payment used by many card companies. Some newer plastic cards have a contactless chip that allows you to tap on a terminal to process a transaction. Shake has built an Android app that emulates this card tapping interaction using your phone.

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology that allows your phone to emulate the interaction between a card and a terminal (among many other things). Many Android phones come with NFC, check your phone specs to see if Shake tap & pay will work for you.

iOS? iPhone?
Yes! An iOS app is availabe (still in testing). Unfortunately, Apple has kept NFC out of reach for developers so tap & pay capabilities will be unavailable on Apple devices.

That sounds promising!
That you have to load your card in ahead is a bit a bumer but I guess there is no good other way to do such.
Never heard of them. Are they known/trustworthy?

The other 3 cards dont have Tap & pay with NFC or do they?
