That tweet from May was 5 months ago. A lot has happened since then, in particular the ban on EU cards being used outside of the EU. If they said it a million times, when was the last time that they said it?

If you check the wirecard website: https://www.wirecard.com/products/issuing/, you will notice that they are out of Germany, so even though they do white label cards, they would similarly be subject to the ban no?

Quote from above link: "As a German full service bank in the Wirecard Group, the Wirecard Bank issues credit cards in all 33 SEPA countries. We can therefore offer you cards and card acceptance from a single source.
Wirecard Card Solutions, which is also part of the Group, has an e-money licence and can therefore offer further options for the issuance of prepaid cards in the UK and the rest of Europe. We provide you with the right issuer based on your respective business model."

If Wirex is able to issue a global card, my guess could still be correct considering it shouldn't take 5 months to finalize a deal with wirecard. It is possible that the deal with wirecard fell through because of the ban and Monaco is working with Wirex now to use them as the issuing partner.

Last time Kris said it in Slack sometime in July, you are right, things might change.

In other news, check out their latest tweet:

This has to be big... but "developers update" doesn't sound very good.
