FX Conversion for On-Chain Card Transactions
Card transactions settled through the on-chain flow go through two separate currency conversions, not a single end-to-end rate.
-
Visa settlement conversion — the transaction is first converted from the original transaction currency into the settlement currency (EUR in most cases, or USD / GBP if the transaction was originally made in those currencies), using the Visa rate for the transaction date.
-
On-chain conversion — the settlement currency amount is then converted into the user's wallet currency using a separate on-chain execution rate at the time of the transaction.
Wallet selection: when a user holds balances in multiple currencies (e.g. WEUR, WUSD), the wallet with the larger available balance is selected for the debit.
Debit amount calculation: the relevant ticker is the pair matching debit currency / settlement currency (e.g. WUSD/GBP, WUSD/EUR). The settlement currency amount from Step 1 is divided by the Sell rate of that ticker to produce the debited amount in the wallet's currency:
Settlement currency amount (from Visa rate) ÷ Sell rate (debit currency / settlement currency) = Debited amount
Summary
| Step | Conversion | Rate applied |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Transaction currency → Settlement currency | Visa network rate (transaction date) |
| 2 | Settlement currency → Wallet debit currency | On-chain execution rate (Sell) |
Because the debited amount reflects both steps, it will not reconcile against the Visa rate in isolation — the difference between the two is the on-chain off-ramp spread.
Cancelling a Subscription
Customers may ask to cancel recurring charges linked to their card.
Wirex cannot unlink a card from an active subscription, block a specific merchant, or cancel subscriptions directly.
Recommended actions:
- Instruct the customer to contact the merchant directly to cancel the subscription.
- As an immediate alternative, the card can be reissued — a new card number prevents future charges to the old card.
- Recommend reissuance only after informing the customer of the implications (the existing card becomes invalid; other saved payment methods will need updating).
Transaction Statements
You generate transaction statements yourself on the support portal — no request to Wirex is needed. Open the user, generate the statement link, and send it to the user.
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Who generates it | Your support team, directly on the support portal (by generating a link). |
| Can Wirex generate it? | No — Wirex support cannot generate statements directly. |
Ensure your team is familiar with the portal's link-generation process.
Checking Remaining Payment Limit
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Wirex visibility | Wirex does not have visibility into the customer's remaining unused limit and has no tool to calculate it. |
| Where to check | The customer support portal — accessible by your team via link generation. |
Withdrawing Balance After Account Closure
If a closed-account customer requests withdrawal of remaining funds, this must be handled by your team.
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Why Wirex cannot help | The wallet is self-custody — funds remain at the customer's address and are not held by Wirex, which does not control the customer's crypto address. |
| Who can help | Your team, based on your platform's configuration and access controls. |
Direct the customer to your platform's account recovery or withdrawal process. Wirex support cannot perform withdrawals or access customer wallet balances.
