Crypto.com Card vs Wirex
Pick Crypto.com Card if you live in the US and already use the Crypto.com app: on a Level Up plan the US card earns from 1.5% on Plus to 4.5% on Private, and the free ATM allowance grows from 200 to 1,000 USD a month by tier (as of 26 Sep 2026).
Pick Wirex if you live in the EEA or the UK and want a free plan that keeps fiat and crypto balances in one app: Standard costs nothing, earns 0.5% Cryptoback and gives EUR 200 (EEA) or GBP 200 (UK) of fee-free ATM cash a month, and the card itself only costs delivery from EUR 5 or GBP 5 (as of 26 Sep 2026).
The two sets of figures come from different regional tables: Crypto.com’s from its US fee table, Wirex’s from its EEA and UK tables. Crypto.com also issues cards in Europe; its EEA Basic card cost EUR 4.99 until 30 Sep 2026, before the new EEA tier rules of 1 Oct 2026.
