Similar to its offering in Europe and APAC, the US roll-out will allow cardholders to manage and use various currencies while traveling using a single card.
Additionally, the card will provide users an opportunity to earn up to 8% in crypto rewards while making in-store and online purchases.
i2c CEO and founder Amir Wain said: “Demand for the Wirex card has been growing globally, and we’re pleased to be able to support their multi-currency debit card to elevate payments experiences in the US.
“Now, Americans can enjoy the flexibility and ease that comes with being able to travel and spend using multiple fiat and cryptocurrencies on a single card and app – on a truly borderless payment platform.”
