Wirex is a crypto-linked payments and stablecoin infrastructure platform co-founded by Pavel Matveev and Dmitry Lazarichev that enables customers to hold, trade, and spend cryptocurrencies alongside traditional currencies. Wirex's Twitter Score is 89 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of July 2026, ranking #9,734 (top 5%) among 531,432 tracked accounts.
Wirex was originally launched under the name E-Coin before adopting its current brand. The platform pairs a mobile app with physical and virtual payment cards, letting users spend crypto, stablecoins, and cash at any merchant accepting Visa or Mastercard. Wirex became a principal member of both networks, with Mastercard announcing that status in 2020, allowing Wirex to issue payment cards directly to consumers without an intermediary.
Wirex issues its own native utility and rewards token, WXT, which operates on both Stellar and Ethereum. The platform's Cryptoback rewards programme pays users in WXT at rates that vary by price plan. Wirex has also collaborated with the Stellar Development Foundation, adding support for Stellar-based USDC as part of that partnership, and maintains an affiliation with the Algorand Foundation.
Wirex is authorized by the UK Financial Conduct Authority as an electronic-money institution. The FCA published a Notice of Undertaking in which Wirex committed to revising three e-money contract terms after the regulator raised concerns under the Consumer Rights Act relating to account-suspension liability, consumer compensation, and implied statutory commitments. UK cryptoasset services are provided through Wirex Digital Services S.r.l., an Italian entity registered as a virtual-asset service provider with the OAM. Wirex is also a member of AssoCASP. Wirex is backed by SBI Investment.
