Solid Partners With Wirex to Bring the Solid Card to More Users Globally
TLDR: Solid has partnered with stablecoin infrastructure provider Wirex to issue the Solid card in new jurisdictions, and it is live today across the UK, the EU and the EEA, plus key markets in Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. It is the same card experience that Solid users already know: spend straight from your own non-custodial wallet, keep earning yield on your savings right up until the moment you pay, and use it anywhere Visa is accepted.
A fast-growing product, now with a card to match
Solid set out to prove a simple idea: that people should be able to hold their own money, earn a real return on it, and spend it like any other balance. No custodian, no off-ramp queue, no waiting days to move value between saving and spending.
That idea has found its audience. Solid has been getting major growth in users, transaction volume, and savings balances. Virtual Accounts gave users a way to receive money like a bank account. Savings gave them a reason to keep it in the app. The card is what closes the loop.
Card access, though, was the one part of the product that geography kept deciding for us. Plenty of users could save with Solid but not spend with it. Solid’s integration with Wirex’s infrastructure removes that limit.
One balance, from saving to spending
The Solid card is not a separate account you top up. It draws directly from the balance you already hold.
- Your savings keep working until you pay. Yield accrues up to the moment of the transaction rather than stopping when you move money aside to spend it.
- No off-ramp step. Pay a merchant directly instead of withdrawing to a bank account first and waiting.
- Non-custodial, as always. You hold your keys. Solid never holds your funds. That does not change because there is a card attached.
- Accepted everywhere Visa is. Online, in store, at home or travelling, subject to standard network and merchant limitations.
Where it works
The card is now available across the UK, the EU and the EEA, along with major markets throughout Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.
Availability depends on your country of residence and is subject to eligibility and verification. Read the full list in our docs:

Wirex has run card programs since 2015 and serves millions of customers globally. Built on Wirex’s stablecoin infrastructure, the partnership gives Solid the licensing and issuing infrastructure to operate a card program at this scale, particularly across Europe, without asking users to give up self-custody to get it.
Solid remains the product you interact with. The app, the wallet, the savings and the support stay with us.
