I'm pretty sure that right now, you are actually only allowed to use Wirex's debit cards if you are fully verified. The list of countries supported is also extremely small. If you are unverified, you can only use Wirex as a wallet, which doesn't make much sense.

It's for people who need to purchase stuff online, and want to have a more convenient way to use their bitcoins directly, basically.

It's a good way to spend your crypto but don't expect to find low fees. You can find cheaper solutions too.
Thanks so much.
Do you know of cheaper solutions I can try out?

If you're comfortable with getting verified, then honestly, selling your coins for your local currency on a major exchange would be the "cheapest" or the option with the least amount of spread. But if convenience is a factor, then you can definitely look into bitcoin debit cards such as Wirex.

How can I get verified and what is the verification all about?

Since there are quite a number of banks that don't accept inflow of money from cryptocurrency sales, it's not only for convenience, especially, as you said, if you really want to use the card you have to get fully verified.
In my country 2 or 3 exchanges closed their doors in the last 6 months exactly because the banks didn't want to work with them (anymore).

It enables you to spend bitcoins via a Visa and MasterCard-linked debit card. Just make sure that your country is supported.
Sometimes, you need to verify your identity when you make certain transactions, especially with Google.
You will get two types of cards virtual/plastic.
** Some merchant does not support debit cards without a bank account.
** use social media for fast response.

Hello everyone, i need to know more about the wirex account in details and how it works in relation to bitcoin.

What exactly you would like to know? Think about it as a PayPal which accepts crypto and has its own Visa credit card. That's an easy and conventional way to spend your crypto just like you would with your usual credit card. You can also check Advcash, ePayments, Payeer and Spectrocoin.

invariably, you mean its only operated as an online transaction platform or medium?
