E-Coin became Wirex. Now the company markets under this name a debit card in euros, GBP and dollars, associated with a bitcoins account and compatible with your e-coin account if you have one. If this is not the case, you can start directly with Wirex.
The bitcoin is the currency of the future. But how to use it easily? Whether for savings or exchange, a very practical tool is a debit card (either virtual or physical and therefore real) with which you can make your purchases anywhere, in euros, and that you fill out By bitcoin transfer.
After having used several, the best in my opinion is that of Wirexapp. This bitcoin debit card works where VISA and Mastercard are accepted.
You must first register on Wirex. Then download the app. Wirex offers an iPhone or Android application. Everything is done from this application, on your smartphone.
Once on your phone, all you have to do is enter your personal information and order your card.
The Wirex card looks like a bank card and works the same way. You can use it to recharge, spend and receive money or bitcoins, wherever you are in the world. Plastic or virtual, it's up to you.
The price of the virtual card in euros is 0.004518, or 2.84 euros and the plastic card costs 0.019229 btc or about 12 euros. After you have tapped your bitcoins, you can use it as a normal card (buy a ticket online, book in the restaurant, etc.).
There are no charges for account maintenance or no inactivity fees.
There are two types of accounts: the unverified (for which there are limitations) and the verified (for which you must send an identity document). The differences are explained here: https://www.e-coin.io/assets/helpcenter/cardlimits.pdf.
You can also switch from bitcoin to a traditional currency with a single click. Accepted anywhere in the world. All accounts have two-step authentication protection and multi-signature protection.
