### 5/5 — Security and BTC return

*2025-06-09, version 10.32.0*

Very happy with this app and Xapo as a business. I’d far rather store my btc (and cash) in a regulated entity than on exchange or wrestling with self custody.

### 2/5 — Buggy, unable to approve a transaction

*2025-05-08, version 10.28.0*

Using the Xapo card for online shopping is a nightmare. Every time I try to pay, Mastercard throws up a verification screen, but there’s literally nowhere in the Xapo app to approve it—so the payment just fails. Super frustrating. And don’t even get me started on their live chat… it’s so buggy it might as well not exist. Total mess.

### 1/5 — Incompetent app

*2025-01-27, version 10.13.0*

This app goes round in circles when you try to complete the application and the support is completely hopeless. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Não me responde o suporte não consigo entrar na minha conta

*2024-10-31*

Não consigo acessar minha conta

### 1/5 — Bigger scammers

*2024-10-23, version 9.35.0*

Scammers the take all the money and singin me like i never use thus apk

### 1/5 — Strict Kyc

*2024-09-24*

Too strict KYC for crypto project like that. It is not possible to open the account with Mexican residence which works in many classic Mexican banks

**Developer response:** We apologize for the difficulties you faced during the account opening process. Your feedback is important to us, and we are committed to enhancing our service. Please provide more details at support@xapo.com so we can resolve your concerns.

### 1/5 — Xapo closed account and kept my money

*2024-09-03, version 9.28.0*

After paying the account opening fee and depositing funds, they then close the account and refuse to respond to any Support request to return my money!
Shocking

### 5/5 — Great Bank with a wide range of investment options

*2024-08-19*

In addition to the headline, the mobile app is very well done with a fantastic user experience. Keep up the great work.

**Developer response:** We appreciate your kind words about our investment options and user experience! Your encouragement motivates us to continue delivering the best service.

### 1/5 — Jeanne

*2024-07-11*

C’est une banque d’arnaque ils te font payer les 150$ pour l’alimentation du compte et après tu ne peux plus recevoir du virement

**Developer response:** Nous comprenons votre frustration concernant les frais et les limitations de virement. Votre retour est essentiel pour nous améliorer. N'hésitez pas à utiliser les options de support dans l'application pour obtenir de l'aide.

### 1/5 — La peor experiencia bancaria que he tenido

*2024-06-18*

Mi experiencia con Xapo Bank ha sido absolutamente desastrosa. El 4 de junio de 2024, envié mis datos para que se reembolsaran mis fondos debido al cierre de mi cuenta. Me prometieron que el retiro se completaría en 9 días hábiles, pero hasta la fecha no he recibido ni un solo centavo y, peor aún, no tengo acceso a mi cuenta.

La falta de transparencia y la absoluta indiferencia hacia los problemas de sus clientes es inaceptable. He intentado contactar al servicio de atención al cliente en múltiples ocasiones, pero solo recibo respuestas vagas y sin ningún compromiso real de resolver mi situación. Es una vergüenza que una entidad financiera trate a sus clientes de esta manera.

Según las leyes de la Comisión de Servicios Financieros de Gibraltar, Xapo Bank debería actuar de manera justa y diligente, pero han fallado miserablemente en cumplir con estos principios. Si no reciben mi dinero, me veré obligado a tomar medidas legales contra ellos.

No confíen en Xapo Bank. Su servicio es pésimo y su gestión de fondos es extremadamente negligente. Manténganse alejados de esta app si valoran su dinero y su tranquilidad.
