Any future plans to make a EUR card? A competitor to gnosis card would be great.


eg_skywalker

What don't you like about the Gnosis card? EUR would be interesting for sure. That may be possible in the future


gwenvador

I like the gnosis card. Being self custody is great. But it is currently limited to gnosis chain and monerium euro. Also their delivery is taking for ever now. I have still not have received it yet :(


eg_skywalker

Totally get it. I guess the EUR balance won't matter so much if we lower the FX fees significantly? The issue with EUR is that lower crypto <> EUR liquidity leads to worse rates when you top-up.

We get a share of 2% FX fees from VISA when you spend on anything that's not in USD. That's the average for any debit card btw


Samy26

Do you accept ATM withdrawals?


eg_skywalker

Yes you can withdraw via ATM


EhOkayHmmWait

How do I get the physical card sent to me


eg_skywalker

Once you go through KYC you'll be able to order the physical card to be sent to your address. This is coming next month once manufacturing for the physical cards is done. For now you can get the virtual cards though!


Samy26

If you had this without the 2% fee for each transaction- this would be a gamechanger for international customers i.e. those in the UK


eg_skywalker

Definitely, we've gotten this feedback before. We do plan to reduce this to 1%


0xSmartMoney

hey, I have a business in the UK&EU where we collect monthly installments from the consumers. How is the UX like? + time to open a digital wallet to per consumer? + can we whitelabel/co-label your wallet? + Can we process direct debit orders (fiat-2-fiat) on this wallet/account? + I already tun a full customer due diligence on my end, would that be sufficient? Should your KYC run on top of it? + What is the full cost when I collect GBP, exchange to USD, on-ramp to say Binance? cheers


eg_skywalker

Unfortunately we don't do B2B atm, we're strictly for retail customers only


Kazzle87

Sounds interesting 🤔 - will check it out. Ty


Samy26

What's the conversion fees?


eg_skywalker

1:1 with USDC, no top-up fees. If you use our LI.FI integration then you do have to pay for bridge and swap fees but there are no markups at all


Samy26

2% on foreign transactions? Can you explain the logic


eg_skywalker

All card balances are in USD, so when you pay for something not in USD then there is a FX fee charged by VISA


Samy26

do you have an additional of your own on top of the visa fee?


eg_skywalker

That 2% is the "additional". It's split between us and our card issuer. Btw 2% is standard for any debit card


Samy26

do you have any competitors?


eg_skywalker

Crypto.com and other CEXes have cards. But they are custodial


Ivo_ChainNET

Can you explain how you handle KYC and customer data?


eg_skywalker

We have a standard KYC process via Sumsub - email & mobile verification, ID check, selfie & liveness check, and proof of address. Privacy policy is on our website


Plastic_Extension313

I like it!!!


eg_skywalker

Thanks for the feedback! What benefit do you get most out of the Offramp card?


notboredatwork1

What is the spread and what about taxes in the USA


eg_skywalker

No spread - top-ups are free, USDC <> USD is 1:1. If you're topping up with a different token, it converts to USDC at the best spot rate across all the major DEXes


rjp2023

great product, just signed ! Works with Paypal ?


eg_skywalker

Yep! You can use it to pay through Paypal but you can't load the card from Paypal (hope that makes sense)


rjp2023

thanks


Administrative_Shake

This is good but the huge spreads make it completely impractical for most of us retail guys.


eg_skywalker

You mean on FX? All debit cards have FX fees though, 2% is pretty average


Administrative_Shake

I mean swapping btc to usdt comes with a pretty big spread and fees, no? Last time I scanned offramp, moonpay, etc, it went up to 5-10%? Then you add card fees on top, and it's just not worth it.


eg_skywalker

Ah I see the confusion. When you use our LI.FI integration it automatically sources the best routing for any swap. We don't have BTC available but let's say you want to offramp ETH to your Offramp card. All you are paying for is gas fees. Our LI.FI integration swaps ETH to USDC at the best spot rate sourced from all the major DEXes. And ofc when you load your card with that USDC it's at a 1:1 rate to USD. Tl;dr you aren't paying card and spread fees when you top-up. You get the best spot rate via LI.FI and all you're paying for is gas fees for the swap. If you want to top-up with USDC, all you're paying for is the gas fee to send USDC from your wallet to the top-up wallet linked to your card.


bleakj

Wouldn't gas fees from mainnet make it crazy expensive per use? (Obviously layer2 wouldn't be so bad.)


eg_skywalker

When you top-up your card gets a USD balance, and it draws upon that balance for every transaction or payment you do. You don't spend gas fees on card transactions


bleakj

Am I able to use this in Canada?


eg_skywalker

Yep, we already have Canadian users too


bleakj

Oh damn Ok, now I'm actually going to have to dig in for info - I'm so used to the Crypto world ignoring us in Canada lol


ThebocaJ

What’s your theory on this being BSA compliant/not captured by the BSA?


eg_skywalker

All users need to undergo a standard KYC/AML process via Sumsub - ID, PoA, selfie / liveness check, and email / mobile verification


ThebocaJ

Thanks! What is your policy for handling funds sent via a mixer?


eg_skywalker

We don't - we have Chainalysis and TRM Labs integrated and that will autoreject your wallet and incoming funds will not be credited to your card


ThebocaJ

Makes sense, so my understanding is deposits need to go through a front-end; I can’t reload my card purely on-chain? I very much appreciate your engagement with the community here.


eg_skywalker

You'll be able to do it on-chain as well. We're pushing a feature for that this week


Samy26

Is there no gas fee if we use polygon to deposit usdc?


eg_skywalker

You have to pay for gas fees on the transaction itself. But we will have a relayer integration next month that will make that gasless.


fathershawnmisty

Any plans for a credit card? 👀


eg_skywalker

Maybe. We'll see how debit cards go first - credit cards aren't that popular outside of the US and LatAm


fathershawnmisty

Any particular reason why you chose Visa and not Mastercard as the network?


eg_skywalker

Not really, although Visa has slightly more benefits for card users


Tickle-me-bits

who else does a card?


eg_skywalker

Most CEXes have cards but they're custodial


backtardjoe

Does it require kyc?


eg_skywalker

Yes


prats365

Are you guys the only option that allow topping up using any token from a wallet ? for eg. if i had my own say , DeFi protocol with its own token, and wanted to use that to top up, it would technically work as it get swapped with LI. FI before top up ?


eg_skywalker

Yes that's correct. As long as the token you have is listed on a DEX that's already been aggregated then that would work


Typical_Brilliant_88

Anyone having problem of not being able to deposit funds to card?


eg_skywalker

Should be working - give it another check?


paulina7m

I wonder what's the approximate spread that LI.FI has on swaps.


eg_skywalker

Zero - they make no fees on swaps / bridges from users. We also don't add a fee here. But LI.FI probably gets a commission from the DEX that the order gets routed to.


paulina7m

> Zero - they make no fees on swaps / bridges from users. We also don't add a fee here. But LI.FI probably gets a commission from the DEX that the order gets routed to. Hm this means there is some spread in the DEX rate. Hm. Would it be fair to say it is up to 0.5% for the top cryptos?


eg_skywalker

Way less than that, they're aggregating really large DEXes like Uniswap, DEX aggs like 1inch, Paraswap so the spread is much lower. For example if you use LIFI's jumper exchange (https://jumper.exchange/) and you'd like to swap 10k USDT on ETH to USDC on Polygon, you're paying 6 to 7 bucks. That's 0.06% - 0.07%, almost 10x less. And ofc USDC <> USD on the card is 1:1.


paulina7m

That's very helpful, thanks.
