After Visa Europe terminated its relationship with WaveCrest in early 2018, it has been a whirlwind few months at Wirex. We've been working away to bring the crypto community a solution to their personal finance needs - and it's finally here.
As part of our sustained commitment to transparency and keeping our growing community informed of recent developments, our CEO and co-founder Pavel Matveev sat down with our community manager Rapha here in London to chat. He also took time to answer questions submitted by existing Wirex users.
The conversation covered a broad range of topics including circumstances surrounding Wirex cardsbeing unavailable since January, how crypto might deal with the Brexit conundrum and why Wirex didn't do an ICO.
