The publicly listed fintech adds new payment options ahead of the summer travel season, positioning itself as a direct competitor to Revolut.
The company is also testing additional features and preparing to launch retirement savings accounts for Polish investors.
Polish-headquartered
investment platform XTB has expanded its digital wallet service to support 19
different currencies. Several new options have been added as the company prepares for
increased usage during the summer travel period.
The eWallet
feature, which
was first introduced in October 2024, combines a virtual wallet with a
multi-currency card, and now handles currencies from four continents. Users can
hold funds in Polish zloty, euros, US dollars, British pounds, Hungarian
forints, Romanian lei, Czech crowns, Norwegian kroner, Mexican pesos, Swiss
francs, Thai baht, Japanese yen, Canadian dollars, Chinese yuan, Australian
dollars, Danish kroner, Singapore dollars, Turkish lira, and Swedish kronor.
The Warsaw
publicly-listed company (WSE: XTB)
doesn't charge fees for currency exchanges between virtual wallets, unlike many
competing multi-currency cards that require users to meet specific conditions
for fee-free transactions. The service is currently available in nine
countries, with plans to expand to additional markets.

“We
are entering a period that will be the first serious test for eWallet,” said
Omar Arnaout, XTB's CEO. “The vacation time and foreign travel is a moment when
our users will certainly use this solution more intensively.”
“That's why
we wanted the currency offering to meet the expectations not only of investors,
but also of each of us who wants to use convenient payments outside the
country's borders,” he added. “Thanks to this, only the XTB app is enough to be able to
relax freely when money will work hard.”
The eWallet
service is available to individual customers who maintain investment accounts
with XTB. DiPocket UAB, an electronic money institution registered with the
Bank of Lithuania, provides the underlying payment services and card
infrastructure. The cards operate on the Mastercard network.
The
currency expansion isn't XTB's only planned update for the summer period. The
company says it's working on additional features that will be rolled out in the
coming weeks to make the wallet service more attractive to users.
XTB is also
conducting key-phase testing of its Individual Retirement Account (IKZE)
product, which has been highly anticipated by Polish investors after
the successful rollout of Individual Retirement Account (IKE). The company
expects to make this retirement savings option available to a broader customer
base soon.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
