Wirex made history in 2015 by launching the world's first-ever debit card, which allowed users to spend their digital assets anywhere Visa and Mastercard were accepted.

We wanted to build a platform that seamlessly integrates both fiat and digital assets, giving users the freedom to transact in any form of money, anywhere."
