Wirex will launch debit cards in cryptocurrencies in Asia during the second quarter of 2018.

Being able to find places to buy easily with bitcoin is a crucial step for real adoption. While cryptocurrency is not used as planned, completing debit cards with bitcoin allows you to spend your stock without overlooking the need for merchants to learn a new payment system and simply use the same old methods to which they are accustomed. . With the expense of the Wirex card returning to Asia, bitcoin investors in the region will soon have another option for more than simply negotiating.

The London-based bitcoin card and wallet company Wirex has revealed that it will launch contactless debit cards to spend money that has been loaded with cryptocurrencies and its first multi-currency account for a fast exchange between bitcoin and fiat (SGD, GBP, EUR , USD) in Asia during the second quarter of 2018. It is said that Wirex Cards in Asia offer 3D Secure support for secure online payments, as well as physical and instantly available virtual debit cards.

Wirex has offices in Tokyo and Singapore, and last year received a $ 3 million investment from the Japanese institutional investor, SBI Group. As such, it is not surprising that he will focus on continuing to spend his offer on the world's most populous continent, beginning with Japan and Southeast Asia.

Last week, Wirex launched debit cards for its customers in the European Union. The new cards were made available in the UK from March 8, and the launch for other EU countries will last until the end of May. The company believes that progressive delivery by regions guarantees a stable and secure service worldwide.

Pavel Matveev, CEO of the company, said:

"Wirex is bringing to Asia the first multi-currency accounts and cards to spend converted cash from cryptocurrencies, making daily purchases much simpler. Our cards are excellent for making transactions in stores, buying products online or withdrawing money from ATMs. We were the first to bring such cards to the world and now we are the first to carry multi-currency accounts with new contactless debit cards to Asia. We are pleased to inform our Asian clients that spending on cryptocurrencies is now much easier. "
