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!

link to the card?

[timz]

https://xapo.com
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/

[Mitchell]

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

[knight22]

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.

Well, I followed the

I followed that link and now I see this on my Wallet page:


Going to guess that it worked and that I should get one in 2/3 months.

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!

[Mitchell]

I contacted Xapo to be added to the beta list and today he told me that I was added.

We will send another email to confirm your address when your card is available to be shipped! Any other questions just let me know. Unfortunately, I can't provide you with an exact timeline at this time, but I'd expect notification before one month.

WOW that is so freaking awesome that was pretty quick, dam i really wish Xapo would open up to the people in the USA. Its ok i am having high hopes and prayer for bit-x.com i really hope they start getting out visa or mastercard logo debit cards with the customers name on it so can use it anywhere

[DARKANGEL6415]

so whats the good word going on with the Xapo Visa or Mastercard forgot what it was and on phone so not going to go back lol this phone to slow lol, but any word on us folks here in the USA getting cards shipped out to us anytime soon, i dont know how ANX Premium card can be shipped to USA in under 1 week from Hong Kong with no problem. I will post this same thing on other Xapo forums see where gets answer faster as not always so active 

[Mitchell]

Well, I just got home from a weekend with my girlfriend and guess what I find? A letter from Xapo containing my card. It's a VISA debit card (like I expected) and it looks quite nice. I just activated it, which was easy to do once you get the hang of it. I will try to do an in-store transaction tomorrow, let's see how it goes.

[DARKANGEL6415]

well it went pretty quiet all in here, i guess people lost interest in this card or found something wrong with it apart from not sending to people in the usa

Crosspost for clarification reasons:

I got my Xapo debit card without being fully registered. Yes, I had to fill in my basic details, but they never requested an ID. I have used the Xapo debit card and it works great, just like their app. Their website? Not so much. It's very confusing (for example the buying Bitcoins part) and sometimes so slow that I have to login again before I can do something, which is quite annoying.

All my support questions have always been answered within 24 hours so I'm a happy customer at Xapo.

[DARKANGEL6415]

ok well as i am seeing this forum post is dead in particular and i see other forums for Xapo more active, i will go ahead and close this off and just follow the other forum. All i really am waiting to hear is " WE ARE NOW OFFERING CARDS TO PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE USA, the cards will come printed with customers names and when used will only sell actual amount of bitcoin needed to cover the transaction, none of that preload crap others do"" .......... LOL

[avw1982]

Is it still in pre-order? I'm waiting a long time now for it. This is what bitcoin need but them is must be ordered instead of this waiting.

Still in beta! Shouldn't be much longer though! If you want immediate card access and are in Europe, let me know and I'll see what I can do!
