A new surprise feature!

Happy 'belated' Thanksgiving to those of you in the US! I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday.

I know I sent an update just a week ago, but wanted to share a new important feature that we have been working on behind the scenes. This was not listed on our Republic page, so I'm thrilled to be able to share it with you today.

With BlockCard, you can now walk into a number of major retailers in the US like Walmart, CVS, 7-11, and others to deposit cash onto your BlockCard. Once loaded, you can take those funds and instantly send them to anyone via email. The recipient of the funds can then instantly withdraw them at most ATMs. It's a huge step in being a USD on/off ramp for customers, but is only a small feature in the broader platform we're building. 😎

Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!

what is the apps name because in my google play store Ternio switch is the only thing i see popping up..?

@edward-brockie No app today. We built the mobile website to be responsive and have all the functionality of the desktop site. Next year we will release an app that has added functionality specifically for mobile devices. More on that to come!

Will the idea of loading up the card and sending money go beyond the US to other parts of the world?

@elvies-atomah Yes, absolutely! We're going to be launching in 31 EU countries at the start of next year. In addition, we're going to be expanding to Mexico, Canada, Australia, and other major markets.

Hi Guys, can Tornio Blockcard be used in Australia

@ross-kessler yes, but there is a caveat. US residents can sign up and use BlockCard anywhere in the world VISA is accepted - including Australia. However, Australian residents can not register today for BlockCard. We’re actively working to be able to onboard AU residents and remain compliant with local laws.

I think this is a brilliant idea, able to load money, send it to anyone via email and the recipients can immediately begins to use the money, is truly a breakthrough on how to manage our finances. It eliminates the risk of carrying cash, or spending valuable time sending and receiving money will so much paperwork involved as well as fees.
I’m excited and can’t wait to start using the App and show and share with everyone I know and come in contact with moving forward.
Congratulations for great inventions!

Great news, in watching the youtube video, it mentioned the ability to transfer funds to non-BlockCard holders and they can setup quickly and have a temporary BlockCard, receiving the funds in minutes...isn't there a pending status with BlockCard, for the verification process when signing up?
Happy
Holidays to all

@jason-croft

Good question! Once funds are loaded to your BlockCard account you can then transfer to anyone with just their email address. If the user does not have a BlockCard account then they will be prompted to signup for one. After signing up they will pass KYC and (upon approval) instantly get a virtual card with the senders funds already loaded. That virtual card can be used anywhere VISA is accepted. A physical card is also mailed to that person.
