Hold crypto, get credit!

Wirex Credit is our way to provide a credit line in stablecoins, based on the cryptocurrency you hold. This allows you to unlock the value of your crypto holding without the need to spend them. We offer low-interest rates, instant funding, and your choice of the amount and currency. 

Simple to set up and easy to use, you can open a credit line with us based on the cryptocurrency you hold as collateral. Depending on your loan-to-value (LTV), you will get credit into your stablecoin account. You can then spend your stablecoins with your Wirex Card, transfer to an external wallet, or use it for X-account. You can also close the credit anytime you want before the maturity date ends, and you only pay interest for the days the credit line was active.

To open a Wirex Credit line, you need to have an existing, active USDT, USDC, NXUSD, or DAI account to allow credit to be funded. Also, you will need a positive balance on one of the crypto accounts for collateral to be added. 
 

To open Wirex Credit, follow these steps: 

1. Go to “Wirex Credit” tab and then press on “Borrow: button; 
2. Choose a credit account from the list of available accounts; 
3. Choose a preferable ratio, collateral account, and borrowed amount, and then press “Continue”; 
4. Accept the Wirex Credit T&C, confirm the credit details, and press “Confirm”; 
5. You will see the list of the credits you’ve made. 

Congratulations! Now you’ve successfully borrowed funds from your crypto holding without spending them! 

You can borrow USDT, USDC, DAI, and NXUSD, depending on which region you are in. For full availability please check your Wirex App. 

The following currencies are available as collateral (depending on the region you are registered in):  
ETH, WXT, BTC, YFI, MKR, AAVE, UNI, COMP, LINK, 1INCH, SOL, AVAX, MATIC, DOT, ALGO, ADA, TRX, WXT, XRP, XLM, LTC, DOGE, SHIBA, AXS, APE. 

The borrowed amount depends on the collateral that you add and the allowed LTV ratio of it. 
 
For more information about the borrowed amount and the LTV, please check this page.

LTV is Loan-to-Value ratio, which is calculated by dividing the amount borrowed by the value of collateral, expressed as a percentage. 

For example, if you borrow $100 of USDC and the value of your BTC collateral is $1000, your LTV is equal to 10% (100 / 1000 = 10%). 

You can keep track of your LTV in real time within the Wirex App. If you see that it is getting too high (e.g., approaching the Warning risk level) you can add more collateral to your existing credit line to reduce the LTV back to a healthy level.
