©2025 Wirex Digital Services S.r.l. is registered as a VASP in Italy in the special section of the OAM Register (Providers of services related to the use of virtual currency and digital wallet service providers) with Number PSV108. As repeatedly highlighted by the Bank of Italy, and in line with the guidelines issued by international bodies (FSB, FATF) and at the European level by ESMA, it is clarified that crypto-assets are highly risky and speculative instruments and are not suitable for most consumers as an investment or a means of payment or exchange. Moreover, the possibility of profit is not guaranteed in any way, also due to market volatility. Crypto assets are not currently subject to the rules on transparency of banking products, payment services, and investment services, and lack specific protections. Therefore, it is necessary to be aware of the risk of loss, including the total loss of the invested capital, fraud, errors, and the absence of protective measures available to customers wishing to invest in crypto-assets. Furthermore, some crypto-assets have no intrinsic value, are not backed by any right to reimbursement, and cannot be considered suitable for payment or investment purposes due to their highly risky nature. Finally, it is noted that the Bank of Italy discourages activities related to crypto-assets. Customers are therefore advised to review and read carefully the contractual provisions available on the website for completeness.
