AN Post customers with prepaid Money Currency cards have been left unable to access their money after UK authorities shut down activities of scandal hit German payments company Wirecard. There are 50,000 of the currency cards in circulation, An Post said. An Post said its Money Currency cards - marketed as an affordable way for customers to bring and use money abroad – were issued by UK based Wirecard Card Solutions Limited. “An Post greatly regrets this inconvenience to our customers and we are working to ascertain what impact this situation will have on customers who hold an An Post Money Currency Card. The currency cards have been suspended after the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulators froze the British operations of Wirecard, including Wirecard Card Solutions on Friday.
