Remittio's Load Any Debit Card® platform can load the EXISTING debit card you have in your wallet using Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, BitShares, Steem, Litecoin, or 40 other Cryptocurrencies!
Using our Pay Any Bank Account® service, you can also send digital currencies to ANY bank account in 180 countries. Your money will be deposited as USD, EURO, CNY, or 19 other currencies directly into your account within 24-48 hours. A small selection of banks below.

We never touch your money ourselves.
You can learn more on our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page.
Coming Attractions
In the spring Remittio will be issuing our own custom debit card for people living in countries that restrict the freedom of their citizens to access third party cards. Integration with BlockPay is in the works.
We currently support most popular digital currencies, but plan to call special attention of all resulting traffic to BitShares and Steemit products and services as the website matures.
Easier and much cheaper ways to use all major digital currencies should help attract traffic and stimulate growth throughout the BitShares / Steemit ecosystem.
Let us know what you think!

Remittio is different from other services like Shapeshift because:

That can be a game changer for BitShares (for real this time). It would propel BTS market cap AND the attention from the public where it belongs for so long.
In order to achieve that, a proper plan should be put in place.
A vague "we'll try to promote BitShares" won't do a thing. The sooo patient BitShares community has seen it many times from the beginning.
It's not a critic, just an observation. Your priority should be your main business off course ;)
Best of luck with Remittio =]

True. As you can see, we are trying to build it up one sustainable brick at a time rather than announcing our strategic plan all in advance. Each brick will work when we announce it and we will lay no brick before its time.

This is cool, so the BIN on this is wavecrest? I know they were having delays of 7 days or more and some other issues like an inability to deal with USA issued cards when we looked into them last.
Did all of that get worked out then?

Great news !!! Can you give us more details on how BitShares can benefit from Remittio ? Is it gonna be through higher traffic on actual MPA or through creation of new ones ... or something else ?

Well, we've always wanted more on and off ramps for BitShares. So this helps us there.
We thought about limiting the currencies we support to just Graphene-based blockchains, but decided that it made more sense to support ALL the popular coins and use the opportunity to interact with people from many communities as a way to call their attention to what the BitShares Decentralized Exchange can do for them. We still need to design that part of the website but didn't want to hold up going live with the features we already have ready for prime time.

It would be smart you take NO FEES(or discount) for BTS and STEEM transactions OR something like that! That would create enough BUZZ around STEEM & BITSHARES... Many would exchange their cryptos for STEEM & BTS to get the discount !!! So they would get more familiar with our technology/currencies!
$0 + 0% fees or
$10 + 0% fees or
$5 + 1% fees etc...
or something like that ;)

2 questions:
How do i offer you to add more currencies to accept in the future?
And second (more of a UI thing) - After i log in, top left of the screen, there is a page thing that looks like a page thats listing, its very annoying and hides text + it pops up every second without me hovering over it =)

Loading debit is down for the week due to - API update from our service provider
All transactions will be routed to the SEPA/SWIFT service until it is reinstated.
Accepting additional Crypto? Which would you like to see?
We may change the page corner flip - what style is less annoying? We did not want to do a pop-up, open for suggestions...

Flip style is fine, but it keeps flipping even when you are not hovering directly over it - very annoying ) maybe make it less sensititve
Yes, im talking about crypto, but i was asking in general for the future.

Right now cryptos are all passing through shapeshift, so anything they list or add in the future will be added. We plan on using the Blocktrades.us service to accept additional currencies as well, so anything they provide will also be added. We may eventually build our own engine for this, but our ORIGINAL intention was to only work with BitShares partners and offshoots to help bring more volume to the BTS family.

Michael Taggart aka @michaelx is scammer and liar. Please stay away from this company.
He had a partnership with Banx, scam business that deceived investors and took their money. Remittio was one of the companies that was co-owned with Banx and Taggart. Banx shareholders were promised profits from Remittio.
https://steemit.com/banx/@samupaha/banx-was-definitely-a-scam
I am very disappointed with @stan because he still doesn't understand that creating connections between Bitshares/Steem and well-known scam is really really bad for business.

He is pivotal in the future of BitShares.

Yes it does. Remittio has been owned by Banx. This company has really bad reputation because of it.
Bitshares can't succeed if there are people like Taggart involved. Nobody trusts businesses that are run by well-known scammers.

50% of Remittio was owned by Banx and Banx shareholders were promised profits from it, so this partnership was used to deceive potential shareholders to buy more shares. Very clearly it has been used as a part of a scam. Reputation of Remittio has gone forever.
Nothing insane in warning other people about scammers. It's what every decent human being should do.
