Terrible.

Terrible.
I used it for the first day and thought it was great.
I, then, tried to use it in the pub. It declined.
I went to an ATM that accepted Mastercard and then "insufficient funds."
I sent £100 to my card and couldn't withdraw £50 or even spend £5 for a beer.
Absolute crap.

Sent funds to my wallet and now the funds are stuck. No way to fee bump, the customer service is virtually non-existent.

Absolute nightmare.

Not good at all

Extremely poor quality along with slow speed of their support service. Waiting for help almost for one month already, support agents reply once per 4-6 days. Lost my hopes for using my CL card ever again in the nearest future (as it became suddenly locked after the maintenance in the middle of August)

Careful when using this company

Careful when using this company, if a transaction fails you gonna struggle to get your money back, even if the merchant refunds immediately. And then after weeks they will refund your money in EURT so you have to pay fees again if you want to buy ETH or BTC.
Support takes ages to reply and usually they only reply once a day so they can keep your money for longer.
If this only have happened to me once I would have said this was a isolated mistake, but no, it's the second time this happens to me and this time is taking even longer for my money to be refunded.
Good project, excelent idea to integrate crypto in our daily life, but really really bad company to deal with.

Living on CL for 15 days

I have been on holidays for 2 weeks on this card, here is the experience:
+ Integration with Ledger is very good. Wont allow a mistake handling funds to the CC, etc.
+ The card mostly works as any other card but there are some issues:

- Some transactions will fail, and no explanation is given at all.
- The statements offered don't allow to properly track expenditure, it should track "balance", perhaps in the main BTC account. The CSV export is poor, as comas in retailer name will mess it up.
- You cannot report to support an specific transaction.
- ATM fees are 3x of my normal card.

This is a very promising product that fits the Fiat Crypto gap in "transition" times. I hope is properly polished. I recommend it.

Hello Rafael,

Thank you for sharing your detailed experience with the CL card during your two-week holiday. Your feedback is highly valuable to us, and we appreciate both the positive aspects you've highlighted and the areas that need improvement.

Most of the times the card works fine

Most of the times the card works fine. Once you have any issues you never get any answer from them. If for whatever reason your payment fails, these guys are just taking the money in their pocket. Therefore never spend any significant amount of money with this card. Only the amount you can afford to lose. There's nothing like customer service. If by any chance you get any response, be only irritated for lies.
I tried to top up my Revolut account. The top up failed yet the CL card has been charged.

scammers

I bought myself a ledger crypto wallet and only then read the company's tweet that it turns out that the company always had access to the secret phrase. The card that the company offers seems to be of the same level as the ledger company. They accepted the documents and simply rejected the application without explanation. Fraudsters.

Hello Sergei,

Thank you for your review. We would recommend you reach out to Ledger official announcements regarding the Tweet you are referring to.

As for the Card application we have strict compliance and onboarding requirements that need to be met and if these were not met we unfortunately are unable to service you.

Thank you,

Cancellation trend

Not letting to open account due to nationality, meanwhile not announcing it officially and saying that they cannot open account and cannot expose the reason.

Total scam - NEVER USE IT

Total scam.

They blocked my card after 2 legit transactions (payment to an old EU company - renting servers ). Now they won’t give me my money back. They refer to their terms, where it says my money belong to them.

Communistic, imperialistic technocrats with colonial tendencies

The card and services of it work fine. I have found CL card (master card) having a much more interesting options, simplicity and nice look over Nexo's and Crypto.com. But they have been blocking my funds! I have been busy buying crypto, ahead of a possible bull run, so I added little extra, and now I can't use any of the 2 cards, unbelievable. I mean, can you even imagine the future with these Communists in at the helm?!🤯 I work my ass of all day long to get some extra cash to invest and those, those .... damn control freaks!!! Give me my money back you daemons!

To sum up with yet another unbelievable experience with them, you just can't believe it!

I had, about 6 Cryptodraft loans with them, with nice success, I was able to get up to 1300e in collateral and was getting about 700e from them and then the CEFI came from the depts of hell. So I paid 771e my loan and when the collateral came back it was only 530e and when I tried to contact them, a week later they said that collateral was deposited at my account, witch was true, because it clearly was present at ETH (0.66), but when I asked them to explain how I was only able to withdraw 530e insted of 1300 as it was in the collateral deposit, the strangest answer....a PDF document with bunch of addresses in it, some numbers...I will tell all of you reading this that CEFI Crypto space is so sick I think it comes straight from hell, the control and totalitarian mechanisms they force on you is...well to blow some brains out, to ventilate them just to be sure!

But I'm not giving up, I think I know how to screw with them, AND I'm not letting this slide bye and I have some of my people in London and I always get what I want and I want it be sure about it! It's going to be their style of screw! Just the same methods you are using and its going to be so great!

Your asset class is not safe with this institution, if we can call it that way, they start showing totalitarian acts very soon after application, for most people. Look at it from this perspective, they are far away, they do not answer on hails, they don't give any explanation about those acts they just do it because thay can!!!!

Now I really understand the difference between DEFI and CEFI, a terrible new world order is upon us and it will be a brave new world to be in...and ill be waiting for it, just around the corner......

Stay away! Don’t send them your personal data!

First I was in a waiting list for a physical card. A few months later they invited me to registration. They took all my documents and personal data and in the end just declined my application without any explanation. Unbelievable.

All verification and interaction process is made through browser (wat?!) which is built into ledger application. Therefore you can’t take quality photos of your documents etc.

Just disaster.

Great Instrument - SHocking Support

The CL Card itself is a great instrument, however, it is also a great shame the backup service, and support seem to be as 'inadequate' as it comes.

Application for the Visa card (which I have added funds to) seem to be a very long process of verification under KYC - takings days, weeks (still waiting) to just check the one submitted document (as opposed to other sites which take under 1 hour!). True, you can use the live chat - but that tends to go unresponded to for long periods. Its a real shame, as if CL could only fix this, the product has a potential to be a new valued flagship on the Cryptocurrency block.
