MCO Visa Card benefits
The MCO Visa Card was launched in Singapore. It’s a prepaid card that’s made from high-end metal, and it’s free from any monthly/annual fees. It also provides airport lounge access-, there are no fees for ATM withdrawals, there’s a tap-and-pay functionality, and it also comes without fees for foreign transactions.
Interested people are able to make a reservation on Cryptop.com Wallet & Card app. The process is straightforward, and it also involves ID verification.
Customers are also able to use the wallet to manage the use of their cards, keep track of transactions and freeze/unfreeze cards.
More than 100,000 cards have been reserved from all over the world, and the company’s entry in the markets in the US means that there are probably more reservations just around the corner.
