Coinbase Expands its Visa Debit Crypto Card Across Europe

[wry]

In what is very good news for helping people use their bitcoin Coinbase has expanded the availability of its crypt debit cards to more European countries.  It has added Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Ireland, and the Netherlands to it's existing support in the UK for its Visa debit card service.

The card works in conjunction with an app, and you can load it with bitcoin, ethereum, and litecoin.  One thing I am not clear on is if you load the card with an amount of if it is a purchase by purchase type conversion.  As I learn more I'll update the thread.

Anyway, happy news for more use, even if it is not native adoption.  Has anyone used this card?

bit pay was one of the first cards that have the visa logo.. having a major company like that where is known around the world is almost like a seal of approval.. i still have my bit pay visa card... easy to use.. just hoping  they increase the amount to load into the card. havent checked the updates..

I am waiting for coinbase to expand into other countries. They are doing all these great things, but only taking users from certain countries with them. One day I will reap the benefits they are offering.

It is like if you load like 12 dollars worth of bitcoin then your card can be topped up instantly with that 12 dollars and you can use it anywhere in the country.

Well i had seen it 2 days ago because i was teaching some friend how to add some payment methods to his account.

I was actually surprised that it had the Cards option because it wasn't there before, i just didnt noticed it lol.

Edit: Im just glad they brought it up since it was only added for US.
