I have been hunting for a possible route out of crypto thinking a bank card linked to crypto was the answer. That was the plan anyway until first Coti and then Binance don't allow for their cards in South Africa. Bummer as that has put a spanner in the works regarding my initial thought process. Seriously stupid if you ask me as one could use the card here as it is Visa, but just not have a South African address.

A temporary spanner for now as long term my future is definitely not here and has to be overseas somewhere else. Nothing is ever straight forward especially in Africa and my last hope going down this type of rabbit hole now resides with crypto.com and their visa debit bank card. That takes 6 months though of staking to be eligible for their bank card and sounds like a long time and there has to be other options.
Looking tonight I had no idea that there were so many debit cards linked to crypto. This is one area that has exploded over the last 12 months and just wish banks had made things simpler to do business with. My current bank accepts no digital transactions from crypto related accounts so the easy decision is to close the account and move banks. The problem is I don't reside in the UK anymore so more thought has to go into this. Crypto friendly countries that allow bank accounts from non residents is my next port of call as I have no other choices left.
The latest travel ban has also put a spoke in the works for now as the other plan was to travel and register with Coti overseas using my brothers address in the UK. This actually doesn't seem so stupid as waiting 6 months is just too long and surely the travel ban will be lifted in the new year at some point.
I was thinking of asking the community for any ideas as the leofinance members are pretty clued up in this type of thing. I am honestly not 100% sure what the best move is right now so any ideas would seriously be appreciated.
