Here I outline a couple updates on the Karatbars Mastercard due to Brexit taking place.
-
If you live outside of SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) region you won’t be able to transfer your funds from Mastercard to your bank account anymore.
-
Only those living in the SEPA region will still be able to do it. However, you still will be able to withdraw cash.
-
-
If you live in Canada… here the cash advance from a pre-paid card (which is what Karatbars Mastercard is) is not allowed. There are two workarounds:
-
Try to open a bank account in one of the countries that is part of SEPA Region
-
Request BTC (Bitcoin) as a commission pay-out
Not very convenient news, yes, especially if you live in Canada (I do).
(Here I discuss how in 2016 Brexit ‘proved’ that gold is a safe haven.)
Good evening am peterojojo from Nigeria Delta State I have not receive my MasterCard from two months now am still waiting for my MasterCard from FedEx I need help plß
Hi Peter,
Thank you for dropping by again 🙂
Hmm.. If you’ve earned commissions and ordered it 2 months ago and still haven’t received — that’s weird.
(That may take longer because you live outside of European Union and US/Canada)
I’d suggest you call Mastercard support using this number: +44-207-127-8165.
You can also email them at karatbars@prepaidfinancialservices.com (but call them first).
Hopefully you receive your Mastecard soon 🙂
Hello, my name is Eric. I live in the US. My card expires the end of this month (11/19) I ordered a new card but it says something about requesting a card to card transfer since I have a balance on my old card.I can’t seem to figure out how to do so at debitcard@karatbars.com. can you please help me?
Hi Eric,
I see. Sure.
I’d just go ahead with card to card transfer — or whatever is being asked.
However, to make sure, call Karatbars Mastercard support at 001-518-751-9114 (Canada or US). Call during regular US business hours.
If you want to ask something via email in the future use this address though: karatbars@prepaidfinancialservices.com
Have an awesome weekend 🙂
