Our verdict
Wirex Card suits people who want one multi-currency debit card with crypto attached and no everyday cost. The monthly fee is $0 and the currency conversion fee is 0%, so spending abroad and holding several currencies costs nothing on the card itself. Cashback of 0.5% to 8% adds a small return.

Safety of your money
Wirex is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK, registered as FRN 902025, and is also listed with the Malta Financial Services Authority and the Superintendency of the Financial System of El Salvador. The crypto side runs on self custody, which means you hold the keys yourself rather than the platform. Fiat balances sit with the regulated UK entity, while crypto balances are yours to move or withdraw.
Who runs it
The card is issued by Wirex Limited, based in the United Kingdom and holding a Financial Conduct Authority licence, FRN 902025. The business was founded in 2014, so it has a long record in payments and currency accounts. Help is offered through email, chat and help centre, which means a phone line is not among the options listed. Account management runs from a mobile app.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Wirex Card cost to hold?+
The monthly fee is $0, and the card is listed as a debit card on the Visa network. It is a free-standing account, so there is no annual charge listed either. It ranks at 1 of 422 brands on monthly fee.
Is there a fee when I spend in another currency?+
The currency conversion fee is 0%, so card spending in other currencies carries no conversion charge from Wirex. The site median for debit cards is 1%, and Wirex ranks at 1 of 258 brands on this point.
Is my money protected and who regulates Wirex?+
Wirex is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK under FRN 902025, with further listings in Malta and El Salvador. Crypto balances sit in self custody, so you hold them yourself. Fiat balances are held by the regulated UK entity.
How many currencies and coins can I hold?+
The account supports from 150 currencies, making it a multi-currency account rather than a single-market one. The card also supports from 150 coins for crypto spending. A mobile wallet is available, and the card includes virtual card and crypto features.
Do I earn anything when I spend?+
Spending earns cashback of 0.5% to 8%, which applies on top of a $0 monthly fee. Cashback is the rewards type most common among the cards compared. Contactless payments are supported on the card.
Can I use cash machines?+
Free ATM withdrawals are $0, so cash machine withdrawals are not included in the free allowance. This is the weakest point for a card that otherwise costs nothing to hold. It ranks at 44 of 124 brands on this measure.
Who is the Wirex Card aimed at?+
The listed audience is business, so the card is built around business and multi-currency use as much as personal spending. It suits anyone who wants crypto and traditional currencies in one Visa debit card. Readers who only want pounds and euros would be better served by Wise.
How do I get help?+
Support is offered through email, chat and help centre. A phone line is not among the options listed, which matters if you want to talk someone through a card problem. The help centre and live chat are the quickest routes listed.
