4 Pre-paid VISA cards that ship to NZ
I get asked this question often, “Where do I get one of those bitcoin debit cards from and how do they work” Below is a list of 4 cards that you can order that ship to New Zealand.
These cards work in the same way as your debit cards, you load your currency into the wallet and purchase goods and services at any merchant that accepts VISA. Some companies also offer a ‘virtual’ card, so that you can make online purchases without the need to wait for the plastic card to arrive.
Things to note about these cards;
- There is a fee to purchase the cards
- Ensure you check out their fees schedules as the fees vary
- Keep the card safe.
- You can use these anywhere VISA is accepted - these behave like ‘credit cards’ so you use the ‘credit’ function at ATM, however some NZ EFTPOS terminals mayl have issues with them so be aware.
*Please note I do not endorse any of these cards, if you do purchase one of these cards, ensure you do your own research and are aware of all the necessary details.
