It all began in 2014, in one of the few thousand London coffee shops. Pavel
Matveev and Dmitry Lazarichev, fintech visionaries with a shared dream, dared
to imagine a world where crypto was as accessible and functional as
traditional money.
Back then, cryptocurrencies• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта were niche—trapped in the realm of tech
enthusiasts and speculators. But Pavel and Dmitry envisioned something
groundbreaking: empowering people to manage and spend crypto as easily as
cash.
Fast forward to today, Wirex is a global powerhouse in digital payments,
serving over 6 million customers in 130 countries. From its humble beginnings,
it has redefined the intersection of traditional and digital finance• Экономика » Финансы » Процентный доход, making
crypto practical for everyday life.

first crypto-enabled debit card, allowing users to spend Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin (and later

just a technical feat—it was a cultural shift.
At the time, crypto was still seen as speculative, recalls Pavel
Matveev, Co-Founder of Wirex. We wanted to make it tangible—something
people could actually use every day.

Wirex has consistently introduced groundbreaking features, such as Cryptoback™
rewards, offering up to 8% cashback in crypto on purchases. The X-Accounts

company plans to expand its offerings, continue refining its user experience,
and find new ways to break down barriers between traditional and digital
finance• Экономика » Финансы » Процентный доход.
The last ten years were about building bridges between two financial
worlds, says Pavel. The next ten will be about making those
bridges invisible—so seamless that people don’t even notice the
transition.
Dmitry adds: Our work isn’t done. There are still financial systems
that are too complex, too expensive, or too inaccessible. Wirex is here to
change that—one innovation at a time.
From introducing crypto-enabled debit cards to creating an ecosystem that
simplifies financial management, Wirex has spent the last decade at the
forefront of innovation. And as it steps into the future, one thing is
certain: the best is yet to come.
Here’s to Wirex—a decade of making financial freedom a reality and the promise
of much more to come.
