    Tue 16 Nov: I used an OZB referral to Crypto.com, signed up, and completed the KYC.
    I've received a referral code to forward to others

    That evening, they email me about previous convictions or party to a lawsuit. Replied to the email with no (the truth)

    It's now Thu 18 Nov, and the app still says Verification Pending after 2 days. For those already using Crypto.com, is this normal?

    • wutang01 on 19/11/2021 - 17:47

      Update: just got approved on Day 4.

      • Nom on 19/11/2021 - 17:56

        Yes it's normal - if they were asking about convictions and lawsuits, they probably saw red flags if you share a name or address with a certain character…

  • Romper Stomper on 20/11/2021 - 15:08

    Frustrating sign up process. crypto.com wants applicants to hold their passport and take a portrait photo, and with a slip written with something like: this is my proof of identification.
    Gave up the application before this step.

    • Nom on 20/11/2021 - 17:21

      That's not frustrating.
      It's completely standard anti-money-laundering know-your-customer legislation - all the main (legally compliant…) crypto exchanges do this. Because they have to.

      And so do you, if you want to join in.

    • rektrading on 20/11/2021 - 17:28

      It's free money.

      Do the KYC and get rewarded or don't and get nothing.

  • Pagu on 21/11/2021 - 18:40

    Is there any limit on the amount that can be transacted ( or is it limited by any amount)and can we pay through sniip in places where it is not accepted like ATO and bills and to get the cashback?

    Thanks for the info in advance.

    Kind regards,
    Pagu

    • Nom on 21/11/2021 - 19:48

      These workarounds get closed eventually, so it doesn't really matter whether Sniip works today or not. It might not work tomorrow.
      Sign up because you accept the product as it is, not because you expect to be able to use workarounds…

      Yes there are plenty of card limits, they're all clearly displayed on the fees and limits page. They're more than high enough for "normal" use.

    Anyone else not seeing the AUD option on Fiat Wallet? Living in Australia (AU residential address) but holding (and KYCed using) a foreign passport. Debit card transactions kept getting bounced like Superballs. Support team absolutely useless. Bloody frustrating.

    • Nom on 23/11/2021 - 12:28
      +2

      holding (and KYCed using) a foreign passport

      This means you have a foreign account matching your passport. AUD wallet is only available on AUD accounts.

      You'll need to contact support and get them to fix the country of your account - you'll need AU Passport/DrivingLicence/Other to convince them to do this.

    • aprofessionalpirate on 28/11/2021 - 18:31

      Did you manage to get your country changed? I'm having the same issue but no response from their support yet.

        It took about two weeks and 2 different support chats (first one got closed so I had to do everything all over again), but they did give me the AUD fiat wallet capability about 2 days ago. No need to give proof of AU residence.

        • krinau on 02/12/2021 - 22:03

          It happened to me. I talked to their support team but nothing fixed. While Waiting, I re-installed the app and it was all good. Try it if anyone has same issue.

        • aprofessionalpirate on 04/12/2021 - 22:45

          Finally got support to fix it for me too, was a painful wait but all sorted now. Yep was the same for me all they asked was if I was a resident, didn't need to give any proof.

          • Nom on 05/12/2021 - 11:33

            @aprofessionalpirate: Thanks for the update - it sounds like they've softened the process a bit if you didn't need to prove citizenship 👍

  • JHoliday on 23/11/2021 - 19:28

    Hey guys I checked my Crypto.com Exchange account on their website and this is what it shows..

    Current Staking: 5,000 CRO
    Available Balance: 1,272.43923936 CRO

    In order to apply for the Jade Green/Royal Indigo card do I need to unstake it and then go through the card application process to stake it again?

    • OldGregg on 23/11/2021 - 19:44

      Pretty sure if you go to the card tab and apply for jade/Indigo then it'll show you the steps you need to take to apply. One of the steps is to stake CRO and it should already be ticked.

      • JHoliday on 23/11/2021 - 19:56

        Thank you, was just scared to press 'continue' unless I knew all the facts beforehand :)

        • JHoliday on 24/11/2021 - 13:38

          Nope doesn't look like it will play nice.

          Once I select the card (Indigo), then "purchase and hold CRO for 180 days" button, on the next screen it only gives me the option to add funds from Credit Card, External CRO Wallet, Wallet. In Wallet it only shows 452 CRO available not the 5000 CRO I already have staked. Does that mean I need to unstake?

          • Nom on 24/11/2021 - 14:29
            +1

            @JHoliday: Exchange has nothing to do with the card account, it's a totally separate account. You've staked in a different product.

            You'll need a second stake in the Crypto.com app to get a card. Or wait 179 days until your Exchange stake competes, then withdraw and transfer into the app, then apply for a card.

  • NotDavidJones on 25/11/2021 - 12:20

    Anyone else nervous about staking A$500 for 6 months with them to get this offer? Anyone experienced withdrawing to fiat with them?

    • rektrading on 25/11/2021 - 12:43

      What is there to be nervous about? It's only a small amount of money that is locked up for six months. Six months will go by pretty quickly when one doesn't think about it.

    • furic7 on 25/11/2021 - 16:43
      +1

      Only if the CRO is static/rise, the $500 can potentially become less and less and you cannot sell it.

  • Skinnerr on 25/11/2021 - 12:56

    I must be very stupid!?! I can't find ANYWHERE on the webpage the sign up button to go any further! 🤔I click on the ruby card but nothing happens.
    Or must I download the app to apply?

    • OldGregg on 25/11/2021 - 13:10

      You have to download the app. It's not available on desktop. You can however trade on desktop using the crypto.com exchange (a separate app) after you've set up the main app.

    Was about to order the Ruby card, but checked there's a lot ONE star for it in Truspilot, about the missing deposits and hidden fees.
    https://au.trustpilot.com/review/crypto.com
    I'm not sure if they are just stupid people or there's sth doggy in there… No one has bad experience with them yet?

    • Skinnerr on 25/11/2021 - 16:23

      For me being an existing HSBC customer of seven years, I was frankly pissed off that I didnt qualify for their 2% cashback card because I wasnt working (earning enough) because of COVID. So when I saw this Id figure why not since I wasnt earning cashback anyway, all I have is time to lose and money to gain.

      Most of those people are also complaining about their own mistakes in sign up and then comparing this to their banks, which it is not.

  • Skinnerr on 25/11/2021 - 16:35

    Can anyone help, I just staked 500AUD - If my thinking is right, I only start getting the Spotify reimbursements and 2%CRO on purchases after the 6mth 500CRO stake period correct? Or does it potentially start after your card is initially approved and then backdated for purchases once you start adding funds onto it to spend?
    Thanks.

      As soon as you stake and you apply and receive your virtual card you can charge spotify to the account and it will be credited back as CRO. No need to wait 6 months first

    Seeing CRO rocket jumped 4 times in value within just a month, there's a high chance that it falls very soon (already did today). I'm really worried about what $500 CRO it will be after 6 months.

    I'm happy to stack $500 BTC/ETH but hell no for unstable coins like CRO.

    • JHoliday on 25/11/2021 - 18:58

      Could also be $2 in 6 months

  • JHoliday on 25/11/2021 - 18:59

  • moneytomyway on 26/11/2021 - 16:47

    Hi all, just came across this platform, I am more interested in the 10% P.A return on TAUD.

    Please correct me if I am wrong, so I deposit $500 into CRO, and stake them for 6 months for a ruby tier.
    - Am I considered a Ruby tier right after staking CRO, or I will need to wait for 6 months?
    - Am I able to deposit more to purchase into TAUD, or I will need to wait until I became a Ruby tier?
    - Is there a limit for the 10% P.A return on TAUD for being a Ruby tier?

    Thanks in advance!!

    • OldGregg on 26/11/2021 - 17:08
      +1
      • you'll be considered ruby straight after staking
      • you can transfer fiat into your wallet or crypto and then purchase TAUD. The rates are ruby and lower or jade/Indigo or higher, so you can do this right away
        -not 100% sure on a max limit however you'll have to stake your TAUD for 3 months to get 10%. A flexible term yields 6% and a 1 month term earns 8%
      • moneytomyway on 26/11/2021 - 23:16

        Thanks for that.
        Given TAUD is literally 1:1 to AUD, I can't see any significant risk to stake TAUD unless the platform went bankrupt, the 10% P.A seems too good to be truth LOL

  • BargainHunter09 on 27/11/2021 - 14:48

    I’ve just signed up to CDC on the app and all is fine. Just wondering if anyone also uses the desktop web version to trade? My App is set to AUD, but on my desktop, prices and everything is in USD. Is there a way to default it to AUD on the web, when viewing prices, making trades etc?

  • JHoliday on 29/11/2021 - 13:35

    Do you have to transfer funds into the visa account to activate the card? Trying to activate the loungekey but keeps failing. I think they might try to put a small charge on the card which may be the reason it is failing if the balance is $0?

    • Nom on 29/11/2021 - 16:56

      With a balance of $0 the card is useless - it's a prepaid card, so you need to add balance to the card in order to spend that money.
      Yes you need balance to add to LoungeKey, Netflix, PayPal, etc etc - most services will test a small fee when you add a card for payment.

      Haven't you already put balance into the card to buy groceries and other day to day items ?

      • JHoliday on 29/11/2021 - 17:35

    To add money to crypto.com go home > transfer > deposit > fiat > AUD (or set up an AUD fiat wallet if you haven't > from here you can use the details to payid or BPay into the account.

    • Skinnerr on 10/12/2021 - 16:32

      Oh man, this sucks. I could just pay into my revolut card from my HSBC debit card. I don't have a payid account, is that what NPP is? I guess I can do via bpay, but I was hoping for quicker xfer ability into the crypto visa card.

      *Update - After googling and learning how to use payid, I spoke to HSBC and, unbelievably, they don't have bloody payid yet!😠

            HSBC Becomes The Latest Bank To Stop UK Clients From Sending Funds To Binance
            By Brenda Ngari -August 3, 2021

            A number of UK banks have taken steps in recent weeks to limit their customers’ ability to access leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance. HSBC has become the latest bank to tell its UK clients that it will block payments to Binance “wherever possible”.

That said, I'll keep it in mind. Also it's a non issue since I'll xfer funds to another bank account that has payid and to pay with that since HSBC has NFI when they'll be getting it.

      That's pretty ridiculous, the 2 have nothing to do with each other. Referral code only kicks in when using the exchange side. This campaign was for signing up for the totally optional card. Even after signing up with referral code the app was plastering the $35aud card sign up
      I'm curious though, did you go the free card or stake also?

    A senior rep reached out to me via the Crypto.com app and advised that the referral + $35 AUD promo doesn't stack. They apologised for previous operatives giving me incorrect advice. Unfortunately they will not be applying the $35 credit. They advised that measures have been taken to ensure this doesn't happen again.

    • tobinm on 29/12/2021 - 21:40
      +2

      Thanks for the efforts. Had similar contact as a result of the reddit thread.

      If it's any small consolation for those that got in early-ish and are thinking the $25 promo was lower than the $35 promo - the $25 worth of CRO (~52) I received back in November is worth about $42 now. So the early promo actually works out more.

      Still, shame they wouldn't at least give a gesture of good will after all the money they have to throw at advertising. Surely a few OzB members @ $35 each would be a drop in the ocean.

        Imagine how helpful they are gonna be if there's ever a serious issue. God help us if they ever get hacked 😬

        For me, it was more of because there was this additional bonus, I signed up. If there wasn’t this bonus, I would have waited until the next round when they would upsize their bonus.

          Oh completely agree, the only reason I got the missus to go along with it was cause the amount after the bonuses and Spotify rebates it's only about $335 on the line. I'm hoping they pull through for us cause it'll be the nail in the coffin on my crypto ventures when I have to break the news 😂😂 Ah well.

    For those playing at home, I ended up having support credit me the $35 AUD worth of CRO (I was one of the ones with this customer service and stacking referal debacle).
    Came out of the blue with no explanation of why they changed their stance and decided to credit me after all. The rep who contacted me spurring off the Reddit thread dropped back in and said my "request for compensation has been approved"
    My guess is their legal team covering their asses
