About this institution

Verified active. Optal Financial Europe Limited, trading as WEX, holds a current e-money licence issued by the Central Bank of Ireland. The licence reference C176000 was granted on 8 March 2019. Cross-checked against the Central Bank's register, the entity's authorisation continues in operational status. WEX provides electronic money services within the scope defined by the Irish regulator's EMI framework.

The entity benefits from EEA passporting rights across 29 host states, as recorded in the Central Bank's passporting notifications. No report of regulatory suspension or material service disruption is on file at this time. Data note: the original 2019 grant date remains current; downstream financial databases occasionally cache historical licence dates, so independent verification against the Central Bank's live register is recommended for time-sensitive compliance checks. Public register references confirm this licence; no consumer-protection ruling has been recorded against Optal Financial Europe Limited in the last 12 months.
