Wirex card

The Wirex Card is built for people who want to spend both crypto and traditional currencies with low fees, instant rewards, and global usability. This guide explains what the Wirex crypto card does, its key benefits, and how they apply depending on your region. 


What Is the Wirex Card? 


The Wirex Card is a multi-currency Visa or Mastercard (depending on region) that lets you spend crypto and fiat effortlessly. When you pay, your selected balance converts instantly into local currency at transparent rates. You control everything — balances, limits, security and rewards — inside the Wirex app. 


 

Key Benefits at a Glance 


These are the core Wirex card benefits available in most supported regions: 

  1. Cryptoback™ Rewards — earn up to regional tier rates in crypto 

  2. Spend crypto or fiat anywhere Visa/Mastercard is accepted 

  3. Real-time conversion at the moment of purchase 

  4. Transparent, competitive fees 

  5. Wide currency support (range varies by country) 

  6. Instant security controls in the app 

  7. ATM withdrawals worldwide 

  8. Works in 200+ countries and territories 

 

Rewards: Earn Cryptoback™ on Every Purchase 


How Wirex Rewards Work 


Wirex gives you Cryptoback™ rewards whenever you make eligible purchases with your Wirex Card.


Rewards: 

  • Are paid instantly 

  • Are issued in crypto (typically WXT) 

  • Apply to online and in-store transactions 

  • Have no complicated rules 

  • Reflect your region’s plan/tier structure 


Reward rates differ depending on your subscription plan and local availability. Some regions can earn up to 8%, while others have different reward tiers. 


How to Maximise Cryptoback™ 


To get the best return: 

  • Use your Wirex Card for daily spending 

  • Enable notifications so you track rewards in real time 

  • Watch for regional bonus campaigns 

  • Use the card instead of balance transfers for eligible transactions 

  • If offered in your region, consider loyalty tiers that boost reward rates 

 

Spend Crypto or Fiat Anywhere 


Real-Time Conversion vs Pre-Conversion 


Wirex supports two spending methods: 


1. Real-time conversion 

  • Keep your balance in crypto 

  • Wirex converts it instantly at checkout 

  • Spend without manually exchanging first 


2. Pre-conversion 

  • Exchange crypto to fiat beforehand 

  • Lock in a rate you prefer 

  • Spend directly from your fiat wallet 


Both methods work across all Wirex supported countries, making travel and crossborder purchases simple.
