Wirecard appears to have gone bankrupt, essentially out of the blue.
That's not to say that others will follow, not at all. It just shows that everbody needs to protect themselves. | |

Indeed, the Wirecard bankruptcy left some people with access to their money, funny names: U Account, Pockit, Curve, Payoneer, etc. In this bankruptcy deposits seem to be fine, the problem is they're just blocked for a while.

PS. the Wirecard scandal has been brewing for a long time. Just read the FT coverage. By the way, Revolut used to work with Wirecard until the bad reputation of Wirecard made Revolut look for an alternative...not so long ago.
