A Revolutionary Banking Experience
On February 25, 2016, London became the stage for a digital revolution with the announcement of Wirex. Set to launch in March 2016, Wirex aims to redefine personal finance by blending traditional banking with the power of blockchain technology.
Features That Matter
The rebranded Wirex integrates all the key functionalities from E-Coin, which was already a popular provider of bitcoin debit cards. It’s like upgrading your smartphone only to find out it’s also a portable cinema! Here’s what Wirex promises to deliver:
- Convenient Mobile Banking: Manage your finances seamlessly with the Wirex app.
- Instant Remittance Services: Send and receive money quickly, no matter where you are.
- Upgraded 2-Way Debit Cards: Instant conversion between bitcoin and traditional currencies.
Now that’s a trifecta of financial wizardry!
Why the Name Change?
Dmitry Lazarichev, co-founder of Wirex, shared the motivation behind the rebranding from E-Coin. It was not just a fresh coat of paint; it was about expanding their offerings. According to Lazarichev, “Wirex is much more than a bitcoin card. We felt the name reflects what we want it to be.”
Success Breeds Innovation
The metamorphosis from E-Coin to Wirex wasn’t random; it was driven by success. E-Coin had garnered over 100,000 users within a year, showing a significant appetite for financial services that leverage blockchain technology. As the demand grew, so did Wirex’s ambitions.
What About E-Coin Users?
Fear not, current E-Coin users! Lazarichev assures that this transition will be smooth. All existing services will continue without a hitch; it’s business as usual. The exciting part? Once Wirex launches, users will have access to enhanced services without compromising their existing functionalities.
Looking Ahead
The future of banking is here, courtesy of Wirex. It’s where the casual spender meets the crypto enthusiast, all under one virtual roof. With more than 130 countries on board, you don’t want to miss out on this financial revolution!
