You can link your local bank card to Wirex and use it to top up your accounts and buy cryptocurrency. When we say “local card”, we mean a Visa or Mastercard issued by a financial institution other than Wirex. “Linked card” refers to a local card that you have linked to Wirex. Keep in mind, you’ll need to get verified before you can link a card.

How to link your local card

You can link a new card from the Preferences and Top-up screens, or from the Order Card screen if your accounts are empty.

To link a new card in from Preferences, go to Preferences>Linked Cards>Link New Card. You will prompted to enter the card number, expiration date, CVV, and cardholder name. Then you'll be asked to confirm your billing address. Once you’ve done this, just hit Confirm to link your card.

To link a new card from the Top-up screen, go to Linked Card>Link New Card. Then repeat the process above.

If all your Wirex accounts are empty when you order a new Wirex Visa card, you will also be prompted to link a local card at that time to top up your account. To do this, select Link a New Card when prompted. The process will be the same as described above.

As soon as you link your local card, you can start using it to top-up and buy cryptocurrency.

Note: Only cards which are 3-D secure can be linked to Wirex.
