I paid $10 for the card.
$0.00 annual fee
$0.00 Domestic transactions
BTC is converted to fiat at the time of purchase, also with no fee, no need to "top up" the shift card..
- ac29 9y ago>BTC is converted to fiat at the time of purchase, also with no fee Shift appears to use Coinbase for its BTC->Fiat needs. Coinbase charges exchange fees [0]. Or am I not understanding how the card works? [0]https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/2109597 https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/210959...
- richardknop 9y agoInternational fees are high. But also conversion from BTC to USD is not for free. Whoever is doing the conversion is charging a fee. Probably as part of exchange rate where they add a markup. So you don't see an explicit fee in your statement but they use little worse exchange rate and that is their cut. Also whoever is their payment processor (whoever they partnered with to print those debit cards as they don't have license to do it themselves) is charging some fees.
- colecut 9y agoI could be wrong, but I haven't seen any evidence of these fees. Coinbase charges a 1.49% fee when transferring to/from my Bank changing between USD and BTC. GDAX, which is owned by Coinbase, does not appear to charge me this fee. I don't see evidence of the Shift card charging it either.
