ANX launches world’s first Bitcoin debit card

Posted On 14 Jul 2014

The crypto trading platform ANX has introduced a first-of-its-kind international Bitcoin debit card.

ANX CEO Ken Lo told CoinTelegraph:

“We believe prepaid cards will play an integral role in a Bitcoin consumer’s day-to-day financial life. As a market leader we felt it was important to go beyond current offerings in the marketplace and bring something new and innovative to our customers.”

The ANX Bitcoin Prepaid Debit Card is a Bitcoin-only card, but it supports several fiat currencies.

The card allows ANX customers to use Bitcoins to make purchases via traditional credit card payment systems and perform cash withdrawals via an extensive ATM network spanning more than 200 nations. Another feature is that the card automatically links ANX customers’ Bitcoin exchange accounts and Bitcoin wallets with their debit cards. Funds can be added to the card via Bitcoins and any of the ANXBTC and ANXPRO online exchange sites. The card also supports 10 major currencies.

CoinTelegraph says the new debit card is ready for any ANX customers who have completed the ANXKYC verification and have an account.
