I stopped using it when it asked for my ID and other personal information like that. Wasn't willing to give that when there are many other alternatives that don't ask for it your privacy is very low compared to other wallet like blockchain.info

I'm pretty skeptical about Xapo. Reason is here, read these news:

Always research and compare...

There's Xapo, Bit-X, CCEDK, and probably a few others.

Verification is required to get higher limits but as a simple bitcoin debit card it's the easiest tool to purchase with your bitcoins, just like a credit card...

they are legit, heavily invested, with nice looking website..but:

I came to bitcoin, because I want to be the one, who holds all accesses to my "money", without any 3rd party institution, another registration or mails. For me it is "better" web-wallet with all possible cons. I simply don't see any reason to use such service, if there is any, feel free to educate me here:)

What I do is use a multi-pronged setup:

I use important coins = cold wallet
Medium-term = Coinbase
Short-term = Xapo, Circle

This allows for easier access, while using each of the services like they were designed.

Xapo is a trustworthy payment processor but the confirmation time taken is more than blockchain. The only good thing for me is that it does not charge any fee as compared to blockchain. It requires phone verification which makes it more reliable compared to blockchain as there is a 2FA authentication method to stop any fraudulent transactions.

xapo is easy to use lightweight and secure what more could you need from a wallet lol

ownership. by using such service you simply believe to somebody else, to some person or persons, which you never met before and you don't even know his name. you believe in country, where servers are located and to some security team which is protecting them. well...is better to believe yourself than others in money questions. At least based on my experience..

Xapo is a web-based wallet system, so alls you need to access it is a web browser and Internet connection. Xapo is known for having reasonably advanced privacy and security features, especially for a web-based wallet. The company supports payments through a debit card system, making it easy to spend your Bitcoins. The app is also friendly for newbies, so if you’re new to Bitcoin, give Xapo a close look.

Pros: Xapo debit card system allows you to use Bitcoin ATMs and spend at merchants across the world.

Cons: Web-based wallets face extra security threats, and you won’t be able to manage your Bitcoins without a Internet connection.

They've been put together by heavyweights with very deep pockets. Having said that they have a strangely low profile considering their firepower. I'd be inclined to shop elsewhere for my day to day needs.

I'm sure they are legit, but unless you verify your identity, you can't use most of their services.
But, be careful online wallet more vulnerable than offline wallet

But, if you need more privacy or can't trust them. You better use other wallet such as Electrum or Mycelium

iam a beginner and i don't know if xapo.com is good one

It seems legit, but to activate a wallet you need to send them some documents, KYC....

If you only want to send and receive Bitcoins, you don't need to send anything. If somebody asks you to send any documents to store just Bitcoins, then it is definitely not a good wallet.

Use that site for quick online transactions with small BTC. Don't hold your BTC there for a long time. Online wallet services are being notorious for their scam/fake hack/runaways. One example is inputs.io, people lost a lot of BTC there. You need to control your own private keys for bigger amounts.

too much validation required, so I never bothered to try their services

Yes,this is so true because you will need to add pass and pin everytime and this is sucks
