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!

the beta wait is always fun lol  Grin

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

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.

awesome glad to hear that, i actually responded to one of your posts a little bit lost on the issue on something i am sure you will see it and respond  Wink

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. Grin

 Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry so not fair i will like a Xapo visa debit card with my name on it for me to receive and use here in the USA come on Xapo lets get this issue fixed  Wink


You'll be the first to know when the card becomes available in the USA, I promise Wink

LOL haha i will hold you to that, please make sure you post message on here and any other Xapo place i left message in so i can see it, also make sure send me private message just to be on safe side  Grin

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.

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 Sad
- 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!



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!


come on give us some love to us folks in the usa LOL send it to us poor folks  Grin

It took 3 months to deliver the card to Europe??
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.

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.

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