Review

Wirex

Wirex combines fiat and crypto balances with virtual and physical card options in many regions. It is useful for comparing crypto-plus-fiat travel wallets, but fees, limits, rewards and supported features differ by region and plan.

Not financial advice

Crypto cards are not bank deposits. Check official terms, custody model, issuer availability and compliance requirements before loading funds.

Best for

  • Mixed fiat and crypto card wallet comparisons
  • Users who want published ATM allowance tables

Avoid if

  • Users who need identical terms across countries
  • Users who want rewards without plan complexity

Summary verdict

  • Crypto and fiat card wallet with regional fee and limit tables.
  • ATM allowances, limits, network and plan prices remain region-dependent; use the row for the user residence.
  • Keep at least one backup provider for critical trips or payouts.

Availability

Region-dependent

  • ATM allowances, limits, network and plan prices remain region-dependent; use the row for the user residence.
  • 2026-09-09: exchange help does not establish a universal 0% markup. Wirex One has distinct self-custodial-wallet terms; legacy consumer app, One and BaaS must not share a blanket custody label. X-tras prices retain their earlier check date and are not asserted as One membership prices.
