Ready (@ready_co) is closing all its cards for users outside the EEA. But the funniest part is that they are closing the cards in just ONE HOUR. I have been familiar with Ready since 2025. I opened my account that same year. I was one of the first users who caught the transition from Argent to Ready. I remember that I really liked that card. The card had my favorite core feature: a true 0% FX rate. The most disappointing thing is that, since 2025, the company has been feeding people promises that they would add Apple Pay support, but instead, they spent months adding useless things like a "Rewards" section, which is essentially terrible compared to other crypto cards, and they even changed the FX rate on the Lite card from 0% to 1%, all while failing to add the most important feature. I remember back in February, it infuriated me that they kept feeding me excuses for months about one seemingly simple thing, so I just moved to another platform. Now I see that I made the right choice. Because if a company cannot add one simple thing, and on top of that, decides to inform users just ONE HOUR before blocking their cards that they will simply be left without the ability to pay for anything and have to look for another way - that is a terrible attitude. I really loved the concept of Ready, but after actions like this - adding a terrible "Rewards" section and a 1% FX rate - I will think twice before using them again, if the opportunity ever arises.
