Marketing Jurisdiction Matrix
Where the Wirex co-brand card program may be marketed, and where marketing is restricted or prohibited.
Overview
This matrix defines the jurisdiction classification that applies to marketing activities for the Wirex card program. Verify the classification of every jurisdiction where an activity will be distributed before initiating any campaign or communication.
Jurisdiction rules take precedence over the activity classification described in the Marketing Guide. A jurisdiction that does not appear in this matrix has no classification assigned — consult Wirex before marketing there.
| Classification | Count | What is permitted |
|---|---|---|
| Allowed | 45 | Marketing permitted, subject to the approval framework, local law, and scheme rules |
| Reverse Solicitation Only | 16 | No targeted marketing. Users may access the program only on their own initiative. Any activity that may reach these markets requires prior Wirex approval |
| Prohibited | 17 | No promotion, advertising, or solicitation in any form. Access considered only in exceptional cases, subject to prior Wirex approval |
Wirex may update this matrix at any time to reflect regulatory developments, sanctions regimes, card network requirements, or program availability. Confirm the current version before initiating any marketing activity.
