My story with Wirex is a very long story, and a bit lazy to go through it extensively. But, in short:
I started using Wirex before it even was called Wirex. Used it for years and at one point, it was my main account...
I got all the possible problems with them: ..repeated bugs: including incredible bugs for a bank (discrepancies in displayed amounts) (I was among the ones debugging their apps, found huge bugs multiple times but never got any reward for it BTW) .. blocked account for no reason .. insanely bad admin: took me several month to change my postal address after moving...
About 2 years after officially closing my account, I still receive emails asking me to upgrade my account. What a joke.
All in all, despite being an early adopter and even spending quite a lot of energy promoting Wirex all over the Web, my experience with them was simply AWFUL.
Frankly, I was a bit sad about it, as I initially thought Wirex was the kind of company that could make a difference. Maybe they improved, and I'm glad you're happy with it. But I have so many bad memories associated with it (including dozens of messages to their customer support and hours of pain) that I would stay out of it forever.
Not the first time I hear something similar. Thanks for sharing.
I'm looking for a card free of KYC that I can use on the fiat world with my Bitcoin, for online expenses. No luck.
With that, I can finally remove any bank, exchange and so.
Meanwhile, I'll be changing from a platform to another.

Late reply, but Spendit is probably what you're looking for.
Don't know about Google Pay support, but Apple Pay is confirmed to work with their prepaid cards.
