How X-Account interest works?
X-Accounts offer variable interest rates based on the currency held in the account. The interest is calculated on the account's currency balance and the applicable rate, with weekly payouts directly credited to the user's account.
Wirex achieves competitive interest rates by converting X-Account funds into DAI or another stablecoin, placing them in a DeFi protocol. This streamlined process eliminates traditional DeFi complexities and fees, providing users with a straightforward balance that can grow or be withdrawn at any time. By incorporating this DeFi protocol, Wirex passes on high returns to users in the form of interest.
It's important to be aware that X-Accounts' interest rates may change without notice, influenced by market conditions. Regularly monitor the offered rates and adjust your investment strategy accordingly for optimal financial management.

How to withdraw funds from X-Accounts?
Looking to withdraw funds from your X-Account on the Wirex app? Whether it's an X-Account Flexible or X-Account Plus, the process is straightforward. Here's a guide on withdrawing funds from each type:
Withdrawal from X-Account Flexible:
- Navigate to "Grow" on the dashboard and click "Earn."
- Choose the X-Account for withdrawal.
- Click "Withdraw."
- Enter the desired amount and click "Withdraw."
- Your savings will be transferred to your regular currency account. You can opt for a full or partial withdrawal, but note that withdrawing the entire balance forfeits unpaid interest.
Withdrawal from X-Account Plus:

- Select "Request Withdrawal."
- A 30-day redemption period begins.
- The notification displays the redemption date.
- After the period, your X-Account becomes X-Account Flexible with continued, albeit reduced, interest rates.
Important: The fixed 30-day redemption period for X-Account Plus means funds are inaccessible until completion. Withdrawing from your X-Account on the Wirex app is a swift and uncomplicated process, allowing you to move funds to your regular currency account or request withdrawal from X-Account Plus.
X-Accounts interest: In-Kind vs In-WXT
As a Wirex user, you're likely familiar with X-Accounts, allowing you to earn interest on your holdings. But did you know you can opt to receive interest in WXT, Wirex's native token?
Interest in-Kind:
- Receive interest in the same currency as your X-Account (e.g., BTC X-Account earns interest in BTC), added weekly to your X-Account balance.
Interest in WXT:
- Receive interest in WXT, regardless of your X-Account currency; directly credited to your X-tras account.
Benefits of Interest in WXT:
- Earn additional rewards with your WXT balance.
- Premium and Elite users receive an annual Savings Bonus on WXT funds, enhancing balance growth.
Interest Handling:
- Calculated and paid out daily, weekly.
- Unlike in-kind interest, WXT interest is credited to your X-tras WXT account.
Maximize Benefits:
- Leverage WXT for market price changes, X-Tras plan upgrades, or quick transfers to contacts.
- Opting for WXT interest enhances Wirex rewards, allowing upgrades or tier advancements.
X-Account types: Plus vs. Flexible
X-Account Plus:
- Fixed interest rates, varying with the chosen cryptocurrency.

- Drawback: Limited flexibility, with potential delays in accessing funds.
X-Account Flexible:
