Crypto Payments Firm Wirex and Visa Expand Partnership to 40 Countries
Cryptocurrency payments app Wirex has signed a long-term global partnership with Visa (V) to expand its footprint in Asia-Pacific (APAC) and the U.K., according to an announcement on Monday. The announcement builds on the two companies' existing relationship of a crypto-linked visa debit card in the U.S.
With this expansion the London-based Wirex, which has over 5 million customers, will now be able to directly issue crypto-enabled debit and prepaid cards to over 40 countries. While its largest customer-base is in the U.K., Wirex had previously withdrawn the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) temporary registration regime ahead of a deadline to obtain full registration which meant it would serve U.K-based customers via a subsidiary licensed in Croatia. Visa wants to bring more payment options to consumers by connecting digital currencies.
