Solid Rain cards and US virtual accounts close on November 20
Solid says Rain-issued cards and US virtual accounts close by November 20. Eligible users can request a Wirex replacement after a new ID check; existing Wirex cards are unaffected.
The essentials
Update facts
- Rain-card shutdown
- November 20
- Replacement where available
- Wirex
- Migration is not automatic
- New ID check
Scope and cardholder conditions
- Applies to Solid cards issued by Rain and Rain-linked US virtual accounts. It is not a shutdown of every Solid card or account.
- Eligible users must initiate replacement in the app, move any Rain-card balance to the Solid wallet, complete the new issuer’s verification and activate the new card.
- Where card support ends, withdraw the card balance to the Solid wallet and update subscriptions. Wirex-issued cards and the underlying Solid account are unaffected.
Who needs to act
The official notice gives two routes: switch to a Wirex-issued card if the app offers it, or move the Rain-card balance before closure if cards are no longer available in the account’s country. Approval and regional eligibility still apply.
Bank details and saved payments
Rain-linked US virtual accounts also close by November 20. Stop distributing those ACH or wire details and notify senders. A Wirex card can provide access to a separate EUR account with an IBAN, subject to the new programme’s conditions.
A replacement card has new details. Re-add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay and update recurring payments. Solid says existing savings, wallet functions and earned cashback remain available.
