Ho to acquire a Bitsa Young debit card

To acquire the debit card, the teenagers are supposed to download and install the mobile application for the platform. This application is there for both Android and iOS users at the Play Store.

After installing the app, they should create an account in order to apply for debit card online. Teenagers may select either a physical debit card or a virtual debit card. The virtual debit card is unpaid and the physical one costs 19.50 Euros. Recharging or support charges are not there however other debit card charges apply to some transactions. For instance, outside the Eurozone purchases get charged a commission of 1.5 percent.

The teenagers are supposed to request permission from their parents or guardians also from the debit card application in order to verify their identity. The identification items needed to pass the verification stage include:

• ID
• Permit
• Passport 

And should there be any suspicions about an applicant’s identity, he/she might be required to present another item or a photo with an ID. 

Registration for parents/guardians is as well needed. The moment a parent/guardian gets his/her child’s invitation, he/she must download a mobile application and open an account and request a regular Bitsa virtual debit card. After that, he or she will be able to accept the request of the child thus approving the child’s account. But also parents or guardians must pass the confirmation process as well and this requires uploading their identification documents.

• Mailing address
• Name
• Contact number
• Billing address
• Payment option 

Also, the rules and regulations of Bitsa debit card state that in some instances, cryptocurrency companies can ask customers to show proof of location and additional confirmation documents. Such confirmations are meant to avoid financing illegal activities and theft.

Some cryptocurrency users that are highly receptive to debit card protection and safety, have revealed that companies that offer space and government services, go past what financial companies ask from customers. They ask the users to provide their working information for instance. This makes it hard to acquire and utilize their services.
