Haven't heard of this one before, I assume that it's new?. Anyway I've read some info on their site and it seems nice to try for daily transactions but not for long term storing.

It's similar with coinomi, you can store multiple cryptocurrencies and exchange them in the app, of course it's also a non-custodial. The difference is they have their own exchanger (not powered by shapeshift) and also deals with fiat.

The fees are also fair IMO: https://support.abra.com/hc/en-us/articles/213435307-What-fees-does-Abra-charge-

But I think the app targets people in the PH and US: https://www.abra.com/send-money/philippines/

It doesn't look like there are plans to make this open source or give control of private keys to the users, I wouldn't recommend it regardless of the features it has.

Yes, I have heard so many times about this exchange/wallet because its based on my country, Philippines.

Many people use this wallet already but I never tried to make an account yet, there are so many positive reviews already but there are some negative too. And I only can't assure on this wallet/exchange in terms of security.

Ohh really,but I never heard any exchange named with Abra and mostly the Phillipines people use Coin.ph exchange for selling and storing their bitcoins.But it is better to get reviews from the users before depositing any amount into it.

But now you did...

Coins.ph is much more popular than Abra since they operated way back in 2014 but Abra is just new in here so most probably... But if you're active in some trading groups in PH you can see/read some suggestions that abra is a good wallet/exchange where to buy/sell BTC to fiat and vice versa since coins.ph is famous of having huge fees when you buy/sell on their platform.

They are giving recovery phrase. https://support.abra.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003160368-Who-has-control-of-my-private-key-

I haven't used abra but I have heard them many are using it and it's not only based on one country.

Many people use this wallet already but I never tried to make an account yet, there are so many positive reviews already but there are some negative too. And I only can't assure on this wallet/exchange in terms of security.
Me either, the negative one that you are saying might be the fees fiat->bitcoin.

It's unclear. It's like saying that you have a password on a website, therefore you can control over your funds. Unless these recovery phrases are owned exclusively by you, and is able to be imported to other compatible wallets other than Abra, it doesn't say much. Plus it's still close source.

Also you're dealing with something really sensitive here by using it which is fiat. When you have fiat and crypto mixed together you usually will not have as smooth an experience, and many problems could occur.

It only came out this year, in fact probably this month. I would first at least look for some reviews saying that it's legitimate before I start using. Even if I do decide to use it I would use with small amounts, as with any non-cold storage wallets.

I have used it several times before because they have better sell rate for Bitcoin compared to coins.ph and never experienced any problem with them yet, they support only Bitcoin and Ethereum (not fully operational) at the moment. They also let you make a backup of your recovery phrase but still not recommending it to use for storing your Bitcoins or Ethereum and only use abra if you are going to buy or sell your coins. By the way, as far as I know abra only supports banks from USA and Philippines so if you are not from the said countries better not use it.

Looks like this one is based on Philippines but haven't heard about them before. Looks like they are focusing on mobile app and provide service only through apps but as they are just like other centralized crypto wallet and even with less trust compared to other centralized wallets like coinbase, xapo so I won't use this one.

Coinomi is working enough for me right now.

The Abra cryptocurrency platform has released a token called Bit10, to track the performance of the Bitwise 10 cryptocurrency index:

Never tried it nor I really didn't want since my friend's account was became restricted out of the blue, upon completing his personal bank information he was surprised for his bank withdrawal was disabled. And not to mention the support that wasn't responsive at all.

Coinomi is working enough for me right now.

Me either and so far the best for me.

If you guys are familiar with James Vidal, he's actually support and using Abra for his huge transaction.
* just saying. smile

One thing over a period of time what I understood is that never try to experiment too much with the exchanges and try to use either some of the reputable which is already existing form some year either from your country and from the international exchange and have the best and least complaints from the users here. This will help people to avoid scam if any from the new exchanges.
