Wirex and Visa partnership brings crypto cards to UK and APAC regions

Wirex has partnered with Visa to expand its crypto payment services in the Asia-Pacific and United Kingdom regions.

The partnership will allow Wirex to become a U.K. and APAC Visa member, enabling it to extend services to 40 countries.

Wirex’s debit and prepaid cards support payments in over 250 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ether, and Litecoin.

The new partnership aims to capitalize on Wirex’s large U.K. market of 5 million customers and expand its footprint in the burgeoning APAC market.

Despite the APAC region’s tech-savvy constituents, Wirex will likely face hurdles in promoting its card’s use in several countries in the Southeast region.
