It looks like Xapo has got some competition, because until now they have been the only true realtime bitcoin debit card. Coinbase has partnered with Shift payments to create the American Xapo card essentially.
Xapo, for regulatory reasons, had limited access to the US market for its realtime debit cards. However, for over a year they have had a functioning card that operates in realtime and doesn't require any topping up.
Shift Payments is rolling this out limited to half the US states and will slowly expand, maybe even internationally. It's nice to see more competition in the Bitcoin debit card market. Coinbase is making serious moves.
