I got f**k
February 14, 2025

These scammers only request payment, and when it is time to withdraw, they will keep asking for more money for different silly reasons. I was able to get most of my money back by investing in experts, trade+crypts, c0m, online who assisted me.

Glad I had invested my money in Trade_Crypts >. COM, that was the only way for me to regain my losses which had me in panic, won't make the same mistake twice, I will gladly join tradecrypts in my next life, they offer the best profits and referral bonus also getting news of upcoming meme coin which makes it all profitable, free consultation is also available 24/7,not to talk about the less than 12hrs crypto withdrawal of your profit and 24hrs withdrawal for bank withdrawal. They are just the complete investment company for me, no longer interested in another.

Opening an account is easy and the service works fine. But dear people who take Wirex for cashback, be warned. If you have more than $1.00 worth of WXT they force you to buy $300 WXT if you want to close your account later. This is a minimum to be able to withdraw WXT and they only close accounts if the balance is less then $1.00. Be careful with these hidden costs!

Edit for readers:
I got my balance to zero by buying the tokens. The total fee they charged me was 42.43 EUR just to get 1.50 EUR earned via cashback in Wirex Tokens out of the Wirex account so they would close it.

They stole my money
December 14, 2023

Wirex froze my account without notice, and despite multiple emails, there has been zero response. A financial service that lacks communication and arbitrarily locks accounts is not one I can recommend. Proceed with caution.

IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH AND NO FEEDBACK FROM WIREX! It is shameful what happened! Due to many personal situations like grief, accidents and loss since February I hardly have been online.
I received messages from Wirex that I only received the last one saying they were closing my account.
I sent an email in June because I can't get into my account. I want my access and money back. As I can't get into my account as it is blocked I can't get a ticket number! I am happy to provide all info needed. I have been with Wirex for over 3 years!
I want my access and money back. I sent 2 emails on Monday 17th June at 12:30 and 12:45 PM. And nothing so far.

Used for a few months and all seemed okay. Added some more funds which triggered my account being frozen and support just stalling and evading the issue. Now I'm being ghosted. Avoid!

Updated to 3 stars, customer service have finally rectified my issues. The app and its functions are good, the service and behind the scenes stuff needs some work.

Support does not respond to emails at all! A week ago, they blocked the account, asked for proof of the address of residence, sent them 2 documents in two letters. No reaction! Wrote a few more letters during the week. No reaction! Leave appeals through the feedback form on the site and in the application. No reaction! The account is blocked, the money is frozen. Before that, I used it for 10 months and was satisfied. Wirex what happened to you?

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Wirex. After closing my account with a significant balance, they failed to respond to any of my emails. Despite the lack of a customer support phone number, I took legal action to reclaim my funds, which resulted in my account being unblocked. However, Wirex disabled faster payments and Sepa payments, making it impossible for me to transfer my money through the app.

When I attempted to transfer funds using the Wirex Crypto wallet, the transfers remained pending for an extended period and ultimately never went through. Wirex initially claimed that the money had been sent, but later admitted that technical issues had prevented the transfer from completing. Subsequently, they ceased responding to my emails and support requests for two weeks, leaving me in limbo regarding my ******* GBP.

After more than two weeks of silence, I finally received a letter from Wirex stating that they were working on resolving the issue. I am deeply troubled by their actions and urge others to investigate their behavior as there are numerous similar verified reviews on Trustpilot detailing illegal and fraudulent activities.

All thanks to Mr. Gary McKinnon, a cryptocurrency recovery expert. He was able to recover the bitcoin I lost when I unintentionally transferred funds to an incorrect wallet. Just a few weeks after transmitting $201,000 worth of Bitcoins to the wrong wallet address. At first, I thought I had swiped away everything. But just as I was about to lose it, an associate of mine suggested Gary McKinnon, a hacking group that was able to locate and recover my cryptos' genuinely appreciate the excellent service provided by this company because they are so helpful and dependable. If you were victimized by scammers and lost your money through cryptocurrency you can get all your money back. I especially recommend him, you may easily contact Gary McKinnon by email at :( garymcKinnon(at)technologist.com) or WhatsApp:+1-5-0-1-8-0-3-2-4-7-6

Big scam
January 12, 2022

After bitcoin dropped I had no acces to my account anymore. They steal your money. Don't do it. Support answers fast. This is because you talk to a bot!

The website looks fancy and they also offer a credit card (what doesn't work).

Please be warned!

This business wants me to verify my details AGAIN after three years of being a customer. Their verification links / process don't work and I only could make contact by Twitter.
Now they are telling me to deposit €300 in bitcoin so they can reset or 'synchronise' my account.
I told them 'no' and a token amount of €10 is enough to confirm my source of revenue is legit.

So they replied with this -

- 'Okay
How much can you afford now?
So we can help you out.'

I told them they are bullying customers and their tactic 'amounts to financial blackmail'

They replied 'ok sir'

Wirex, behave like Nigerian scammers.
Advice - draw your funds out as I have done and warn others.
It's amazing they have a few good reviews.

Wirex, currently, from my perspective, is one of the best wallets right now. It supports most of the countries than other wallets.

Pros:
1. More countries supported.
2. Fast transaction than ever.
3. Transaction fees are minimum
4. Verification was quick.
5. Support is responsive!

Cons:
1. Card support was halted, and it's taking too much time to be available again.

Stay away
October 30, 2023

If you deposit money (even cryto) they start asking you for lots of documents about source of funds / income and then asking you again for a multiple forms of proof of address and identity verification and finally close / block / freeze your account and since they have a super slow support service you cannot even access your funds or withdraw to another bank account or wallet in a timely manner!
STAY AWAY

Not happy
June 7, 2017

I've been satisfied with their services for a long time: fast transactions, user friendly mobile app, reasonable fees. But after they upgraded to the version 2.0 I'm not really happy with them. Now I can wait for the transaction for days and now I don't know how they count fees anymore. And the exchange rate is still a mystery to me (it depends on the amount you want to exchange). Anyway I'm still using Wirex but don't trust big sums.

Not Trusted
January 21, 2020

Really disappointed with their service. I transferred funds into my account but was not credited. There have been no error message or whatsoever to tell me that there is a system error but upon checking the transferred funds have been deducted from my bank but not reflecting on my Wirex account. I contacted their customer support but after almost a week, I haven't got any response. Now I am left clueless as how to resolve the problem.

Never use this service. You will not be able to go away, never. To abandon their services requires long-term correspondence with support. They refuse to delete your private data (id, passport, credit card, etc.), so all your personal information will not be safe. A complaint was lodged by the European Data Protection Supervisor (GDPR).

They get my money and run
December 28, 2022

They get my money and block my account

I open the account to receive help from families and friends for my studies in Spain and when I try to exchange the fund to a wallet a couple of days ago, the app crush all the time. At the time I didn't have enough signal so I don't really care.

Today I receive the last funds, in total not more then 800€ aprox, and when I try to withdraw the funds, they block my account. I contact support and they wrote me back asking me for the source funds (again, less then 800€) and I don't have any more news.

If you really relay in this service to live, run away, this is not the right option.
