Mastercard has launched a bitcoin payment card. It is available in the Asia Pacific region. Mastercard has partnered with the cryptocurrency service providers Amber, Bitkub, and CoinJar in order to allow customers to pay for regular purchases with BTC. Check this source

Cardholders will be able to use the card through the arrangement established between the card issuer and the bitcoin service providers, which entails having the corresponding amount of BTC or other cryptocurrency be deducted from the user’s account and instantly converted into fiat currency.
