Well in that case I'm gonna keep using Cryptopay. 2.2% combined with the awful Bitcoin exchange rate is a lot of money.

I think that in a way or another they all have bad rates and fees. At least Wirex was accepted everywhere I needed until now.
On another hand, I expect you share the Cryptopay experience with us, since if it's indeed better, they'll earn more users.
And I expect that more the users, lower the fees are going to be sooner or later.

Does Wirex cards have chips and/or contactless? What about Bitstamp debit cards?

They are advertising for some 2 months already that contactless cards will be available soon. But afaik they are not there yet.
My card does have chip though - I didn't know that cards without chip are still being made in 2017.

Hi,

Thinking to get a debit card to pay with bitcoins. I am completely new to this debit card world, so no idea how it works all together.
I live in the UK, so... what I read on this threat is that European countries have debit cards abaiable. Now.. the question is which one is more reliable and the fees are less.

When do you need to pay fees?
- When you deposit btc to your debit card?

or/and..

- When are you using the debit card to pay?

How do they calculate the exchange rate to pass from BTC to fiat? because if you have btc on your account and every time you pay with your debit card I believe they will need to exchange the BTC each time...

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.

I have just check Cryptopay card. I would like to compare the data with Wirex for example, as it's one of the more popular cards out there. I will be more than happy if you can share the same info about your Wirex experience:

- Issue debit card: £15 (include shipment)
- Monthly card maintenance: 1/£1
- Deposit: 1% (fee deposit) + 1% (currency exchange) = 2% TOTAL
- ATM transaction (national): 2.25 / £1.75
- ATM transaction (international): 2.75 / £2.25 + 3% foreign trans. fee
- How many cards can you have? Just one card in each currency.
- Not verified user limits: £1000 lifetime limit for deposits.

Cryptopay made significant changes, after December 10th, if youve exceeded the new lifetime load limit of $250/250/£200, you wont be able to load your card.
ATM withdrawals will be $100/100/£80(Lifetime )

Do you mean the restriction for unverified user only?

Yes, restriction only for unverified user.
And by the way verification is not easy, to prove your address, you can use ONLY the following types of documents:
   Utility bills
   Bank statements
   Credit card statements
   Tax invoices
   Other government issued residential statements/certificates
