Digital payment platform Wirex has offered its 4.5 million card users low fees crypto transactions through MATIC. The Ethereum scaling solution is preferred for its relatively low transaction fees and high speed. 

The leading payments platform offers its non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet service to users, in 130 countries. Users spend multiple tokens and traditional currencies in more than 81 million locations around the world using the Wirex card.
