About Xapo Bank

Written by the company

Xapo Bank: The Licensed Private Bank for Bitcoin Believers.

We have spent over a decade perfecting secure, regulated private banking and digital asset custody for those who see Bitcoin as the future of wealth. While traditional financial institutions still fail to understand digital assets and unregulated crypto platforms introduce unnecessary risk, Xapo Bank bridges both worlds. We offer a unique ecosystem combining a fully licensed and regulated members-only digital private bank and VASP designed to help you protect, grow, spend, and seamlessly transfer your wealth with confidence.

Founded in 2013, Xapo Bank is authorised and regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC). We combine the security of traditional banking with the borderless freedom of decentralised assets. Under the Gibraltar Deposit Guarantee Scheme (GDGS), your US Dollar (USD) deposits are protected up to a maximum of the US Dollar equivalent of £120,000. While your Bitcoin (BTC) holdings are not subject to the GDGS, they are secured by digital and offline physical military-grade bunkers. With Xapo Bank, you are supported 24/7 by a dedicated Relationship Manager, a real human being who understands your needs.

What you benefit from as an Xapo Bank Member:
  • Bitcoin & USD earnings: Make your assets work for you. Earn up to 4%* annual return on your Bitcoin balance and up to 3.35%** interest on your USD deposits. Returns are paid out in Bitcoin keeping your market exposure intact.
  • Bitcoin-Backed Loans, USD Liquidity***: Access flexible USD financing against your Bitcoin holdings without being forced to sell. Your BTC loan collateral remains entirely segregated in our ultra-secure vaults and is never lent out, re-hypothecated, or exposed to third-party counterparty risk.
  • The Bitcoin Vault: Rest easy knowing your long-term assets are protected by Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology, physical bunkers, and a strict 48-hour security withdrawal buffer.
  • Seamless Multi-Currency Accounts & Stablecoins: Instantly convert and transact across borders 24/7 with integrated multi-currency accounts (USD, GBP, EUR) and fee-free instant stablecoin conversions (USDC/USDT).
  • The Xapo Premium Metal Debit Card: Spend globally from your USD or Bitcoin balances with our exclusive metal card, enjoying zero foreign exchange (FX) fees and high daily spending limits.
  • Wealth Portfolio (U.S. Stocks & Vanguard ETFs): Build and diversify your holdings by investing directly in blue-chip U.S. Stocks, premium Vanguard ETFs, and selected digital assets right inside your Xapo account.
  • Bespoke Human Relationship Management: Experience true premium service. Every member gets direct access to a Dedicated Relationship Manager and 24/7 live-chat support from experts who care about your experience, never an automated bot.
  • Bitcoin Beneficiaries: Plan your family's financial future with our regulated inheritance solution. Nominate multiple beneficiaries and your Bitcoin and fiat wealth are transferred to the next generation under secure legal structures, eliminating the technical complexities and security hazards of managing private keys, seed phrases, or physical handovers.

Some transactions do not arrive

Some transactions do not arrive, and some transactions arrive and are returned to their owners, despite my contacting support and providing information. This happened. I don't know if it's worth paying $1000 for a subscription.

Great bank

Great bank! I love the user-friendly app, their limited bitcoin focus, the way they communicate but most of all all their products (bitcoin backed loans, savings account and deep storage vault). Really happy about my recent choice to trust them.

High Entry Cost for Standard Features

My experience with ShapoBank has been positive overall — the app works smoothly and the service is reliable. However, I don’t believe the value justifies the $1,000 required to open an account. There are other platforms offering similar returns and features at a much lower entry cost. Great service, but not worth the premium price.

I’m extremely grateful and satisfied by Ximena’s work and her team. They’ve been very helpful in every step since the onboarding, considering I’m new to the bank and very far from an expert in finance and the cryptocurrency world. They’ve been there to answer all my (many) questions and provided help very fast whenever I’ve reached out. I’m very happy with everything that being a Xapo customer has brought me so far.
