Wirex was founded with the aim of allowing everyone to access the benefits of crypto, and have expanded their mission to include the DeFi market. The company has already made headlines for launching the world’s first crypto enabled debit card, and currently serve over 4.5 million customers across the EEA, APAC, and as of this month, US regions.
X-tras will bring Savings Bonuses, Cryptoback™ Rewards and X-Accounts under one easy-to-use umbrella that allows users to customise their own reward levels. Wirex’s native token, WXT, sits at the centre of this ecosystem where users will be rewarded for owning and staking WXT holdings within the Wirex app.
Offering three different reward tiers, X-tras will see an innovative and upgraded subscription model. Depending on the level of WXT staked, users will be able to earn up to 16% in Savings Bonuses and up to 8% in Cryptoback™ rewards on all purchases made with a Wirex card, in-store and online.
Additionally, they can receive up to 20% AER on selected X-Accounts, earning unparalleled interest back on crypto and fiat funds*. With over $80 million having already been deposited by users into X-Accounts, last week, the company expanded the accounts offered to include popular currencies such as AVAX, SHIB and USD, on top of existing X-Accounts in EUR, BTC and ETH.**
Pavel Matveev, CEO and Co-Founder explained that “X-tras represents the next step forward when it comes to crypto and DeFi rewards. We continue to innovate at Wirex, and want both veteran crypto enthusiasts and those who are just getting started in the space to benefit from our features. We’re on a mission to spearhead the crypto movement and X-tras represents a new, evolved way of doing this.”
