The Wirex card just got a Google Pay upgrade. Android users can now add their Wirex card to Google Pay and use it for quick contactless payments anywhere Google Pay is accepted. The integration brings everything users need for daily spending into one secure location, with the same crypto-back rewards Wirex cardholders already get on every purchase.

What the Integration Actually Does
Wirex cardholders on Android can now tap to pay with their phone the same way they would with any other Google Pay card. The card lives in the digital wallet alongside any other payment methods, but the spending still runs through Wirex’s infrastructure. That means every transaction continues to earn up to 8% cryptoback, just without needing to pull out the physical card.
For users who already spend with Wirex daily, this removes one step from the process. For users who rarely carry their physical card, it makes the cryptoback rewards accessible at every contactless terminal they walk past.
Why Google Pay Is a Huge Upgrade
Most crypto cards sit awkwardly between traditional finance and digital wallets. They work like normal debit cards but require carrying yet another piece of plastic. Google Pay integration solves that problem cleanly. Once the Wirex card is added to Google Pay, it functions like any other Android payment method.
The convenience matters because friction kills spending habits. A crypto card that earns 8% cryptoback but requires extra steps gets used less than a card that taps automatically when you hold your phone over a terminal. Google Pay integration removes the friction.
What Wirex Already Offers
Wirex is built around one app for trading and spending crypto. The cryptoback program gives up to 8% back on purchases in supported crypto assets. That puts Wirex among the more competitive crypto card rewards programs available, especially for users who actually spend their card balance rather than holding it.
The Google Pay addition makes those rewards easier to capture. Tap to pay. Earn cryptoback. Repeat.
In the End
Wirex cards now work with Google Pay on Android. The integration brings up to 8% cryptoback rewards to every contactless payment without requiring the physical card. For Android users who already spend with Wirex, this makes the experience faster and easier. For users who haven’t been carrying their card consistently, it removes the main reason rewards were getting left on the table.
