In an email sent out today to Curve card customers, it is stated that their card would no longer be working, at least temporarily.

Curve is an all-in-one credit card product in UK which lets customers carry a single card, and switch between different credit and debit cards using the company’s app while using the same Curve card.

To make this functionality work, Curve uses Wildcard as their financial partner but was looking to move away from them, as reported by Financial Times.

The email sent out by Curve today mentions:

“Curve currently relies on Wirecard Card Solutions Limited for all its financial transactions. Until we fully migrate, we are impacted by this suspension (as are all Wirecard’s other clients to whom they provide financial transaction services).”

The complete text of the email is pasted below:
