Guys and girls, can you share your experiences/opinions with crypto debit cards? Smiley

Thinking to get one but haven't decided yet which one, would love to hear your recommendations.

Don't think there are any even working currently, wagecan maybe?
I'd stay far away from these for now, new EU laws and VISA and Mastercard being very anti crypto has shut 99% of them down for now.
TenX is probaby the one to follow if your still interested, they are far ahead of everyone else in the crypto card department.


UK based wirex looks promising. Uses Mastercard and has offices in London and Tokyo.

These guys are a BIG no no stay far away from them. I used them before VISA, Mastercard and new EU laws shutdown all prepaid crypto cards and a ton of normal prepaid cards.
They screw you every which way, very bad rates, hidden fees everywhere, cards need to be loaded.
You don't own the wallet keys and they don't show you the transaction number with bitcoin.

I tried to use the card many times, once or twice it worked many other times it failed because of problems at wirex end. I eventually decided to move away from them and take my bitcoins elsewhere but the conversion from $ to bitcoin failed and the bitcoins disappeared. Customer services is a joke, don't reply, can't speak or type English properly and give you different excuses. Took me 2 weeks just to get my bitcoins back by harassing them on twitter and facebook, wirex twitter even had the nerve to ask me to delete my comments so the company looks better! It's a common problem, comments all over their twitter and facebook has people unable to use a card or with missing money.
