Wirex, a London based digital payments firm, has recently announced the launch of their first global TV brand campaign. Just two week ago, Wirex was approved to issue Bitcoin debit cards backed by Mastercard. Wirex payment cards are bridging the gap between traditional finance and crypto, giving people the ability to seamlessly buy, hold, and exchange crypto into fiat.
Wirex Global TV Brand Campaign
In a recent announcement, Wirex will be introducing their borderless payment platform through a global TV brand campaign. With more than 3 million active customers, the digital payments platform is fueling an environment where all currencies, crypto, or fiat, are uniform and available to everybody. In a push to bring cryptocurrency to the masses, the Wirex mobile app and card give people the ability to buy, exchange, hold, and spend traditional currencies or digital assets. The global TV advert can be seen here in which Wirex further explains how its payment infrastructure is “open to all.”
Wirex CEO and Co-founder, Pavel Matveev stated that:
“Having recently gained international recognition following our announcement of a partnership with Mastercard, we are excited to further this reach by debuting our first global TV campaign. By communicating Wirex’s key benefits such as low fees, high limits and flexibility, we hope to continue growing our user base and demonstrate our vision of a digital economy that is accessible to everyone.”
Global Campaign Following Mastercard Announcement
Wirex’s progression into a global brand campaign comes just two weeks after the company became a Mastercard Principal Member. This was a milestone for Wirex, as they became the first “cryptocurrency-native platform” to obtain the principal status. In doing so, Wirex can now issue payment cards through Mastercard. With the flexibility and convenience of Mastercard’s infrastructure, Wirex can improve its cutting-edge services, and further bridge the gap between traditional finance and cryptocurrency more efficiently.
During this announcement last month, Head of Fintech at Mastercard UK & Ireland, Edoardo Volta stated that:
“We are excited to be starting this new relationship with Wirex, offering consumers further choice and flexibility in the way they pay. We look forward to supporting Wirex in the delivery and growth of their innovative payment solutions.”
