Hi all. Today a small test / return of the Curve card.
This test is especially intended for users of crypto.com. In case you don't know yet, have a look at this article
According to numerous accounts, it seems that the MCO card is struggling to function properly on some sites. Especially on amazon, ebay or Aliexpress. Many people also have problems linking their MCO card to a Paypal account.
The MCO card also does not go to the TPE (Electronic Payment Terminal) offline. That is, who do not check the balance of the card at the time of purchase.
This is particularly a problem for gas stations with automats, tolls, but also if you make a purchase on an airplane for example.
Some people also say they have concerns when shopping online at 3d secure verification sites.
Using a card, such as a card aggregator, seems to solve these problems. For example, there is Max, who is French. But also Curve.
There are 3 types of cards at Curve. One free and two paid:
Paid cards offer cashback on your purchases. But beware, this cashback is not on all your purchases as it is with the MCO card, but only on 3 (or 6 depending on the card) brands selected from a pre-established list. They also offer additional insurance. This cashback can be combined with the cashback from the MCO card. It's up to you to do your calculations to find out if a paid option may be of interest to you.
The free card also allows you to have 1% cashback at 3 stores but only for 90 days.
Advantages
Customer protection, up to ? 100,000 (the MCO card currently offers no protection…)
Curve provides 3D Secure (3DS) support, unlike the MCO card. 3DS verification is necessary for some online retailers as it provides additional protection against fraudulent transactions.
Additional cashback
Support for Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay, so you can use your MCO from your phones and watches No need to carry your MCO card, just carry your Curve card (which can also be used as a virtual card for any of your other debit or credit cards)
The possibility to activate / deactivate your card from the application (in case of loss of your Curve card)
The ability to “go back in time” by 90 days and transfer payments from one card to another, up to ? 1,000
