XAPO euro debit card. Experience, fees and limits.

[timz]

Hello,
I want to share my experience with XAPO debit card. I ordered EURO card 2-3 months ago, finally received.
What to say? It is amazing!!! It is exactly I looked for. It is a EUR card with current account in bitcoins.

- Zero fee on purchase! I have xapo account in BTC, when I do purchase they instantly convert required amount of bitcoins into euro. By good rate (it was higher, than kraken for example) with zero fee! No need to top up the card, I can spend all bitcoins I having on the xapo account.
- They took 2.5 euro for ATM withdraw
- You have to verify your identity to increase limits:

• ATM withdrawals (per transaction) increased from €200 to €1,000
• ATM withdrawals (per day) increased from €400 to €2,000
• Maximum charges (per day) increased from €2,500 to €10,000
• Purchase amount (per lifetime) increased from €2,500 to 'no limit'

- For the verification you have to send scan of your ID and proof of address where the card was delivered to. I've done in 2 days.
- Works fine in internet (PayPal).
- After receiving you have to activate card calling to UK number, enter your data and listen the PIN. No other way to find out the PIN! Afterwards your may change PIN in ATM with $0.50 fee.

In this way I have very high limit bitcoin card. The card has a chip and printed name of the owner. It is important, because local merchant refuse for example ANX card without a chip and name.
Furthermore xapo has fast and responsible support service.
Recommend!

Just open the account and order your card. The card will be automatically linked to your xapo bitcoin wallet.

I have heard of Xapo and I have read a bit about. It seems like they have a very decent card. Do you know where the company is located? I thought it was China but I'm not sure.

Two days to get verified is very quick and I like their method of getting the PIN code. Sending it together with the card would be stupid, so this is well done.

It is a California-based startup, raised $40 million. It is even more, than BitPay ($30M) http://www.coindesk.com/xapo-sets-40-million-fundraising-record-bitcoin-industry/

Oh, I see. Well, time to check it out and maybe even order one! Thanks for your review!

This card is awesome I can confirm. I have to pay 3% conversion fees though because the card is denominated in USD and I am in Canada 

[Mitchell]

timz, how did you request the card? I can't seem to find it. Or do they ship it as soon as you sign up and you entered your personal details?

They are still in test mode. You may preorder the card, but I don't know current delivery time frame. It was 2 months in my case.

Thanks for the review timz!

As you said, we are still in a beta type mode, but for those interested in the card, sign up on Xapo (yes, legally, you are required to confirm your identity at this stage), and send me a PM. I can add those to the early access list. We appreciate Bitcointalk's enthusiasm towards Xapo and the Debit Card! Any other questions about Xapo and our products, let me know!
