[Cryptocurrency] Wirex Multi-Currency Crypto Accounts Launched

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)


Recently, Wirex announced that they have relaunched their multi-currency accounts to Europe. They previously offered Prepaid Debit Cards linked to Bitcoin wallets, but after the card supplier mandated that they would no longer be doing business with Cryptocurrency businesses, they were forced to go back to the drawing board. Their new accounts offer speedy exchanges between Bitcoin and fiat currencies, a fully-fledged current account and soon contactless debit cards.

They are technically the only provider in Europe to allow spending in cash, converted from cryptocurrencies. This really is a technicality though, as Revolut (another popular multi-currency account provider) does have Cryptocurrency exchange capabilities, although it isn't baked into the account in the same way.

These new fully integrated accounts offer the same traditional banking services, but with Bitcoin incorporated into the mix as well. Currently, you can only order a Virtual card if you have received the upgrade notification, with accounts being upgraded constantly, with plans to deliver physical cards shortly.

At the moment, this is only open to UK customers, with Europe and then South-East Asia and Japan coming a little while after that. What you do get however, is in account Bitcoin exchanging, GBP e-money accounts with a unique sort-code and account number, immediate currency conversion (between GBP, EUR, USD and BTC) and free and instant Bitcoin transfers between Wirex users. You will also be able to get a free contactless debit card complete with 3D secure support, in both physical and virtual formats.



What do you think about this new multi-currency account? Have you tried it, or any others out yet? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below, and as always make sure to follow me for the latest Cryptocurrency, Internet and Pop Culture updates. See you on the flip-side, Peace!

P.S. If you or anyone you know has been a victim of @grumpycat please know that he has been harming people throughout Sōsharumedia (ソーシャルメディア). Stealing the service that I (and other bots) have provided them and hiding behind a facade of stopping bid bot abuse which he clearly has no interest in.
Sneaky Ninja is a very responsible bot, working directly with steemcleaners, actively pursuing spam and abuse on our platform. If you would like to see what steps Sneaky Ninja has taken to fight bid bot abuse see this post and this post. Also know that I am working daily on other solutions.
