Tokencard Visa debit cards will soon be available in the UK and across Europe after a confirmed partnership with Contis.

Once live, the Tokencard Visa debit cards will allow users to be able to convert Ethereum and other ERC-20 tokens to load fiat (GBP and EUR) on their debit cards.

Furthermore they will be able to spend in-store, online, and at ATMs wherever Visa is available globally.

Crypto-enthusiasts in the UK and in Europe want to be able to use their chosen currency for everyday spending. However, there is a lack of companies facilitating this. Crypto-holders are looking for a way to pay seamlessly.

Currently, those who want to pay by crypto  have to go through a series of time-consuming steps. They have to move from wallet to exchange, exchanging, and withdrawing to a bank account. It is there where they often face high FX fees on the transfer. In addition, the process can be lengthy due to SEPA or International transfer times.

TokenCard aims to solve this problem by offering immediate access to fiat. Users wont have to worry about compromising on the decentralisation. The company has no custodial access to their users’ crypto assets, giving a user full ownership and self-sovereignty.
