A long-running card whose Cryptoback rewards ended in the EEA and Australia on 30 June 2026, continuing in the UK, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Our assessment

Wirex was one of the first crypto cards and its 2026 story is a contraction. On 30 June 2026 the crypto side of the Classic Wirex App closed in the EEA and Australia — crypto funding, exchange, spending and Cryptoback all stopped there, leaving a fiat card and a push toward Wirex One, whose rates are undisclosed.

What changed, and where it still works

Classic Cryptoback continues in the UK, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Taiwan. For users in the EEA and Australia the product they signed up for no longer exists in the form they chose it. A programme withdrawing a core feature from an entire region is exactly the kind of event a prospective user should weigh, and it is not visible from a rate table.

The rates, while they applied

Cryptoback ran 0.5% to 8% in WXT through X-tras plans: the free Standard plan paid 0.5%, Premium at €9.99 a month raised it to 1%, and Elite at €29.99 a month started at 4% — with the top 8% rate requiring 7.5 million WXT locked for 180 days. ATM withdrawals are free up to a monthly threshold, then 2%.

Where fifteen indicators failed

Terms, fee documentation, published rates and cost documentation were all unreachable at conventional addresses, with FX and top-up fees stated only in-app. For a programme in the middle of a regional restructuring, that opacity compounds: the terms a user needs most are the ones hardest to read.

Who it suits

Wirex still works for UK, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Taiwan users deep enough into WXT to reach the upper tiers. EEA and Australian users need a different card, and should compare Bybit, Bitpanda or Gnosis Pay.

Frequently asked

Does this score rate Wirex's rewards?

No. Rewards and cashback change frequently and are not scored. The score reflects what a prospective cardholder can read before applying: programme page, fee documentation and terms.

Why is cost weighted so heavily for cards?

A card is a payment rail. Its conversion spread and fees are the product, so the rubric puts 35% of the weight on whether those are published and readable.

Is regional availability part of the score?

No. Our methodology excludes country availability from scoring entirely. Check the provider's own terms for where the card is offered.
