Digital cards are one of the biggest milestones on Sends roadmap. That meant choosing the right infrastructure partner mattered just as much as building the product itself.

Today, we are excited to share that Send has chosen Wirex to power Send Cards.
Today, Wirex powers one of the fastest growing onchain card ecosystems, recently surpassing approximately $2 billion in annualized card spend volume only eight months after launch.
As we built Send Cards, we looked for a partner that shared our view of where digital money is heading.
Wirex stood out for several reasons:
• Proven at scale. Trusted by more than 8 million users, with over $20 billion in processed transactions and recently surpassing approximately $2 billion in annualized onchain card spend, Wirex has already demonstrated that crypto payments can operate at global scale.
• Built for digital money. Wirex has built infrastructure that connects digital assets with everyday spending and payments, making it a natural fit for where Send is headed.
• Built for money that moves globally. Multi currency accounts and international payment infrastructure align with Sends vision of making money easier to move across borders.
• Aligned on ownership. Self custody is central to both Send and Wirexs approach, giving people greater control over their assets without sacrificing the convenience they expect from modern financial products.
• More than card infrastructure. Wirexs broader payments infrastructure gives Send room to expand how senders can use digital money over time, without treating Cards as an isolated product.
Send has always been about making digital money easier to use and it started with sending.
Now it is expanding into spending.
Send Cards are another step toward a simpler financial experience, where sending, receiving, holding, spending, and managing your money happen in one connected ecosystem.
Partnering with Wirex helps us deliver that vision with infrastructure that is already proven at global scale.
We are stoked about partnering with a card provider that has been in the space for so long. The card is a huge piece of our stack. Send Card will tie our whole app together, giving people the ability to actually spend.
Send is a payouts company at heart, so they added in the parts of Wirex BaaS stack that most providers overlook: instant settlement and 0% FX conversion. Recipients get the full amount in seconds, then use IBANs, cards and yield to store, spend or grow it how they want. It is a great example of consuming BaaS around a single, sharp use case for digital assets: speed of transaction without losing money to FX, said Daniel Rowlands, General Manager at Wirex.
