We have aggregated the top and most widely used Bitcoin debit cards from around the world. This list has been updated as of December 2016. These cards should be fully functional for 2017.
Some of the Bitcoin Shirtz team members use the Shift Card detailed below. The Shift Bitcoin debit card connects to a user’s Coinbase account and is relatively easy to use.
At Bitcoin Shirtz we encourage everyone to use Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as much as possible. This is in contrast to using state created fiat currencies that constantly lose value and help fund wars around the world.
Bitcoin debit cards help people transact and use bitcoin above and beyond the current economic loops in the Bitcoin space.

Hi @loveon,
Weiting from WageCan here.
Basically, those cards could convert cryptocurrencies into fiat currencies, e.g. USD, EUR, and GBP, and load to your cards.
And you could withdraw money from ATMs with those cards, just like how you do with your normal debit card.
But as far as I know, none of the cards mentioned above could convert Steem to fiat curriencies.
Hope this answer clears a bit of your question :)

It depends on the fees though. Some support ER20 tokens and other cryptos. TenX and Wirex looks cool. I prefer TenX for now. If you were to convert to Steem to Ethereum and then load your account from a cryptocurrency card provider which supports Eth and ECR20 tokens, it may just be worth it. ;-).

Hi @bitcoinshirtz,
Weiting from WageCan here.
Thanks for making the list and mentioning us :)
Just dropped you an email to explain what happened in the industry and why it's a good idea to increase our ranking (given the fact that we're the only company right now can issue cards outside of Europe)
You could use referral code "7NNcu6J6" to get 20% off to try it out our cards.
Feel free to ask me anything.

They all appear to be prepay. Though, Coinsbank has several options. They are also not in every country. Coinsbank was missing one of the largest markets, the US. As well, they seem to be struggling with operations.

Ive noticed that alot of these cards have hidden fees. For example lets say the price of BTC is $900, they do the conversion at $860 and then charge an extra 1% on top.
Whats been your experience with these hidden costs? Any advice for someone looking to transact in GBP?
Thanks :)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Exactly. I didn't realise this was going on.
Great example is of this little trick I learned the hard way with Spectrocoin. On the homepage they list the exchange rate, lets say it is currently €886. So you log in, transfer some BTC. Then you goto sell the BTC into EUR but on this page the exchange rate isn't listed at all. You assume it's the price you saw when you logged in. Unless you enter exactly 1BTC, you won't know what the actual exchange rate is.
So you enter lets say .6btc or 2.3btc and the EUR amount comes up and it seems about right but actually it's terrible rates. Unless you double check the math you don't realise you are getting scammed here. It's your/my own fault, but this is super dodgy practice.
Spectrocoin offer a price €50 less than anywhere else on the market. Then take a percentage on top. Additionally, they only update their exchange price on the page for selling your bitcoin every 5 minutes or so, and the algorithm they are using is completely hidden - so what rate are they using? Maybe getting the worst possible market price for the last 5 minutes, then subtracting €50 from that. Gotta admit, that is a fantastic money maker on their part - but the moment I realised it, I stopped using them, and why I'm here now looking for another provider.
We need to bring this to the attention of the community. Over just a few months of using spectrocoin, I believe they made more money out of me then my banks have in my whole life of paying bank fees.
Be very skeptical of these services. Be sure to check each of these things thoroughly:
Good luck

..yet! ;-) They do plan to do it.
Android users can register for the card via the app - it costs $15.00 for the card, ONLY payable in BTC.
What sets this card apart from all of the rest? You are drawing directly against your BTC balance.
Soon you will be able to draw against Ethereum balance. You'll also be able to keep ERC20 tokens (Basically all the Ethereum based alt-coins)....by mid 2018 you'll be able to draw against ANY alt-coins...thanks to the Commit network.
You'll also be able to get a copy of your private keys that you're using with the card.
There is no card like this one - it's the best card for crypto-currency holders. Mine is on order and I can't wait for it to arrive.
There's a waiting list. Order now and you should have your card by the end of September.
Iphone users and anyone who wants to order via the web should be able to do within a month or two of this post.
EDIT TO ADD : No fun and games with exchange rates. You get to see how much BTC you have on the app. So far people happy with any exchange rates (E.g. foreign exchange rates)
