The web page further states:

We protect your privacy while complying with all requirements for issuers, card associations, regulations, local, federal and international laws.

The card is accepted anywhere Mastercard is supported and there’s a maximum threshold of $1,000 per day in terms of load limits. Edge co-founder Paul Puey explained on Wednesday that the executive is pleased to offer a privacy-centric crypto Mastercard.

“Proud to announce the Edge Mastercard with no personal info required to activate or use,” Puey wrote. “Spend confidentially at any Mastercard accepting U.S. merchant.” Edge, formally Airbitz Inc., was founded in 2014 by Paul Puey, Damian Cutillo, Scott Morgan, Tim Horton, and William Swanson.
