All Bitcoin Visa debit cards are now cancelled.

in #bitcoin7 years ago

I received this email from Wavecrest (the card issuer for all Bitcoin Visa cards):

Dear Cardholder,We, WaveCrest, are the issuer of your Visa Prepaid card, which you have enrolled for through one of our program partners. Visa have today instructed us that we must close all WaveCrest issued Visa Prepaid Cards with immediate effect.How will this affect you?Your WaveCrest-issued Visa Prepaid Card will no longer function. However, as your funds were stored in your e-wallet they will remain accessible to you via your wallet provider.We thank you for your cooperation.Yours sincerely,WaveCrest Wave Crest Holdings Limited is an electronic money institution licensed by the Financial Services Commission, Gibraltar.

We're being oppressed!And ironically this kind of thing is exactly why we need people to take payment with Bitcoin instead of Visa in the first place.
