It seems Wirex VISA cards are being declined too. What is going on?

Eventually, the transaction passed through, but it's a bit worrisome.

Sorry for the inconvenience. The migration from old MasterCards to new Visa replacements has seen our processing volume increase a lot and a few time-outs have occurred. Everything should be working again now.

I think it's actually nice of Wirex to give a free charge for the card replacement, and including the free delivery

Thank you! If you need more information on the process, check here:

Why this insane exchange rate

1728$ is actual btc rate at 9:47 am forum time

1364$ is wirex btc exchange rate

27% markup, is this not fair?

we are losing 1/3 rd of our Bitcoin withdrawal.

Can you guys please fix this today. Please do not charge from us your customers more than 5 to 10%.

How much BTC were you going to sell? They say exchange rate adjusts depending on the amount.

That's correct. More information here:

People stay away, these guys are scamming
I can now confirm that they are blocking cards (loading) for no reason and pretending that nothing is wrong
I sent money into my account some days ago. . . Normally it takes 2 days, but its been 5 freaking days and still no money.
I contacted them and they said it takes anything from 5-7 days to reflect.
I did a simple check on my browser using a debugging tool to inspect the elements and it turns out my account has been blocked all along!
Use the inspect element tool in your browser and you should see the words see : Model is blocked in the code example below

<div class="address" ng-show="$ctrl.model.isActivated" aria-hidden="false"><span ng-bind="::$ctrl.model.name" class="ng-binding">MasterCard  • • • 5526</span></div>

<div class="status ng-hide" ng-show="$ctrl.model.isBlocked" aria-hidden="true" style=""><label translate="AccountDetails.CardBlocked" class="ng-scope">Card blocked</label> ·<a class="action-link contact-support" ng-click="openZendeskLink()" helper-link-key="plasticCard"><span ng-transclude=""><span translate="Common.Details" class="ng-scope">Details</span></span></a></div>

They were hiding it from me all along!

Hello. Wirex is not on the habit of scamming anyone. We actually have developed the Bitcoin debit card service way further than any other bitcoin debit card service. Why bother "scamming" our users, When we can aim for long term success? Come friend, be real.

As you might know already, for We sent an email 2 days ago, Wirex is making a changeover from MC cards to Visa cards. All you need to know about the changeover to visa can be found here:
https://wirex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003269525

We sent an email to days ago. Pelase check and review how the process will work,"

Can our funds at the very least be credited to our account?
I am not interested in owning a physical card anymore as I get ATM charges when i withdraw coupled with your conversion rate, i will rather just use the virtual cards to buy Bitcoin online.
I have submitted transaction details to support and all, still nothing has been done.
Its been well over 6 days . .  My card is blocked for no reason and the funds have not shown up, you say that isn't fishy?

Well, not really. As I explained, Wirex is in the middle of the changeover process to Visa. In the link I gave you before it explicitly states that:

1) We have automatically issued virtual card(s) for all virtual and plastic MasterCard holders. Virtual card is either a replacement for your virtual MasterCard or a temporary substitute for your plastic MasterCard (while your plastic card is delivering).

2) You MasterCard(s) will be active for unloading for the next 60 days (until July 15, 2017). However, you will not be able to load new funds onto the card.

If you can't unload your funds, maybe you have another issue. I can help you track it with the support team if you give me your ticket number

1,Now that's a huge problem, as I am out of town indefinitely and wont be able to receive or activate the card for at least a month. . .

2, I don't think you quite understand what Ii am trying to say here. . . . I had 400 CHF sent into my account 7 days ago, using the Swiss coordinates wirex issues its users, normally in the past (e-coin), my funds from the same sender showed up in my account 2 days after it was initiated, its a totally different story now. No fund in my account, card is blocked, not btc nothing! Support kept telling me they were working on it, up until the point where I discovered by myself, that my card was blocked and the funny part is  funds haven't been sent back. . . All I am saying is if the funds can't be credited to my account can you at least reverse the transaction? Its starting to look like Wirex has an ulterior motive for doing all of this. My support ticket number is 106570

sent some Waves to my Debit card by Shapeshift and they never showed up. Is there some problem??
edit: hours later still nothing!!!

[Vito.Gambino]

And this is a classic example of what I hate about Wirex.
Its been 48 hours since I submitted the ticket number both on here and on Twitter, and as of yet, no form of update or acknowledgement.
I will wait to see what happens next.

Hi guys,
When I try to deposit BTC to my account I get a QR code that reads: "No Withdrawal Address Specified".

Also, as a side note, their add funds to card has html elements (images) that are not even loading anymore (https://app.wirexapp.com/images/cards/big/master/eur/virtual/eur-active-virtual.svg). TBH, in general their side doesn't look reliable at all.

requested new Visa plastic card and to be sent via DHL on the 16 may . today is 22 may . 6 day already no Tracking Number and God know when this Visa will arrive

[albertowirexx]

I have ordered virtual card in EUR and GBP that are processing status since some days ago, i was told that i reached some kind of limit for virtual cards but all my virtual cards are blocked and I want to delete them as I use these for online shopping and I dont store any money in the cards before using a new one, so you can request to your bank to delete all my blocked cards and issue the news that I paid for.

If you are not going to do this please return back the amount I paid for these.

Thank you.

Has anyone noticed or could explain how does Wirex calculate the blockchain fee for outgoing transfers? Couldn’t find the information on Wirex website, just links to bitcoin wiki and information there doesn’t exlpain the whole situation.
The thing is that I made a few deposits to test functionality before making a high amount deposit to my Wirex account. Everything seems fine but creating an outgoing transaction, now I see a huge blockchain fee which is in times higher than it was before. It seems that with every deposit I make the blockchain fee for outgoing transfer grew higher and higher. Now I’m not sure what would be the fee if I make another bunch of deposits and than decide to make an outgoing transfer to another bitcoin address. Would that fee continue to raise with every new deposit?
I hope that’s some misunderstanding and someone could explain what’s going on with that fee, otherwise such service is totally unusable, at least as a usual bitcoin wallet.
