Shutdown event

Lietuvos bankas e-money licence revocation, effective 3 Mar 2026

2 consumer card programmes were affected by Lietuvos bankas e-money licence revocation, effective 3 Mar 2026. Every row carries a primary source.

Effective 2026-03-03. Each date is the day the card became unobtainable, which is not always the day cards stopped working — see the full study for how the two shapes are counted.

BingX Card

Issuer: Paytend Europe UAB

What happened: Lietuvos bankas revoked Paytend Europe UAB e-money licence (AML/CFT and internal-control failures); card unusable from 3 Mar 2026

Unobtainable from: 2026-03-03

Outcome: shutdown — not obtainable today

The Paytend-issued Mastercard did not return. Wirex announced a BingX Visa debit card on 10 Jul 2026 and claims general availability — "The card is live across 200+ countries and territories" — but that is the partner speaking, and BingX itself has published no card page (bingx.com/en/card/ and /en/bingx-card/ both 404 as of 2026-08-05). BingX's own word for its old programme is "currently suspended", with "service recovery" named as a possibility. Unverified from the brand's side, so not counted as a relaunch.
