At the moment all Wirex customers should (in my opinion) keep their hands off ordering new physical cards. I have experienced it myself, ordered a card for 5 dollars in January, never received it and then chose the express option for 15 dollars, also never received and don't become the money back, if you read along in the Discord I'm not the only one, so currently keep your hands off Wirex and card orders, they cost money and you NEVER get them.

For example from a other customer:

Guys, just a quick update that the scammers from Wirex still did not resolve my problem and my account is still blocked.
Just do not put any amount with them and stop using their services.


Did you end up getting this resolved? Crypto.com have been mucking me about for months with verification so I was looking for an alternative that works in my country. Was considering Wirex but a lot of posts around like this has put me off.

don't use wirex!!! last year from january to november locked account and they charged me monthly in pounds !! this year for a solved problem i wait 3 for months

Wirex seems like a big name to me. I wouldn't think about Exit scam. And maybe it will be resolved later. They earn enough from commissions and other commissions, so scamming doesn't even seem necessary if you look at it that way. I don't think there is anyone on the forum who represents Wirex, which also makes communication a lot more difficult.

Stompix, please do not defend that scam website Wirex.
My money is still with them blocked without any reason, no one still answered me from their support and neither know what is going on.

Now someone have denounced wirex to police and reported it to FBI!

Yeah right!
You know that Wirex is not offering their services to US customers, right? How are you going to complain to the FBI when you used a service lying about your location. And the FBI doesn't care about foreigner's relations with foreign business, if the guy would not be trolling he would have submitted a request to the UK ombudsman, not some phony threats.

As I said before, not a great service, not a cheap one, but I don't see them scamming either, what would be the point when they are fleecing their customers like here is no tomorrow already?
And pretty weird how I ended up defending wirex, I never thought this day would come, damn!

Hi,

I’m in your same situation. Have you received any communication from them? I didn’t receive any mail for say that my account is blocked. Can access but can’t use it.
Have you any update?

I think I was scammed by Wirex.
Looks like an exit scam!
They probably wait for Brexit to happen in 2021 and vanish.
They blocked my account for no reason and also blocked my card both with 2000 euro in them.
Without access to the account you can only submit a support ticket which is not answered for weeks now.
I see people everywhere started to complain about their service with many lost their funds completely.
Beware of that company! There is no one from their support anywhere neither on this forum.
Just do not deposit funds into Wirex!

Exist scam running for years and recently getting into a partnership with both Mastercard and Visa as a principal member?
Neah, they will not exist scam when they charge those ridiculous fees and have made millions with their token.

That being said, customers support is a disaster, not only slow but poorly trained, only once I managed to get somebody to help me clear and fast after their automated system was unable to understand the difference between a street number and a building number.
Shitty support yeah, huge fees checked, buggy app of course, crappy exchange rates but a scam, no! Or at least not yet!

I see many peoples also complaining about Wirex in the past

Yeah, past! Wirex used to be so crappy I would have not touched it but I'm already using it for two years and encountered no issues regarding deposits or payments.
I have a feeling the problem OP is facing is coming from a different direction, somebody who actively trying to buy phone numbers and bank accounts in other countries usually gets into trouble with banks.
