So, Haro is a startup that saw the world back in 2012. Since then, users have been closely following it, as the wallet seemed really promising. This is a company that works solely to popularize Bitcoin. In 2017, it seems that this cryptocurrency does not need even greater popularization, but in 2012, only a few had heard of it.
After 2014, when more than decent investments were made into the project, popularization was no longer needed. Users themselves became interested in creating their own wallet on this resource. Thus, it turns out that the project is really smart and, apparently, will be on the market for a long time.
Users have already appreciated all the benefits of working with it, but it would still be worthwhile to consider what the project in question is and whether it really is so unique. After all, today it is very easy to find a wallet for storing cryptocurrency, however, bitcoin xapo is competitive. What is the secret of his popularity? Today we will try to solve this mystery.
What is xapo
As already mentioned, this is a resource, or wallet, for cryptocurrency, which was created in 2012, but became fully operational in 2014. His main goal was to popularize cryptocurrency by simplifying its handling. Previously, coins did not attract much interest. Bitcoins were still being finalized, transactions with them were rare, and it was not easy to use them, since there was no suitable functionality. However, after the appearance of the Haro Bitcoin wallet, the wallet problem was partially solved.
Lately, many good wallets have appeared that could really compete with this resource. But this did not happen: Haro remains one of the most active and advanced wallets in the world, so it doesn’t hurt to take a closer look at what its secret is:
- So, the first feature is that XAPO is a free online wallet and, at the same time, a storage of users’ bitcoins. That is, you can not only accumulate cryptocurrency on it, but also carry out settlement operations. So the benefit of a wallet without paying commissions and other fees when paying for purchases is obvious, since transactions on the network are absolutely free. Therefore, if the user wants to use the bitcoins in his account, there will be no restrictions for this. Transactions are carried out almost instantly, and it does not matter in what part of the world the account to which the user sends this money is located. In addition, this wallet can become the safest offline storage, which is why many have turned their attention to this resource.
When a user registers, he specifies an email, and it, in turn, opens all sorts of additional services of this resource, the integration of which is quick and painless. One of the main advantages of this wallet compared to other options is that it can work with a debit card. That is, the entrance for bitcoins is not only a Haro wallet, but also a card that almost none of the competitors yet offers. The developers implemented this offer for users back in 2015, which made a breakthrough, since no one else at that time offered a similar financial instrument, even if it was more convenient. True, today finding a wallet with a debit card is no longer such a problem, but we know who was first, and we understand that everyone else simply took note of a well-chosen move. But for those wishing to receive a card, please note that this will require a one-time fee of $20. The amount is debited from the wallet when a person orders a card. Next, the service creates a card and delivers it to the user’s home in any way convenient for him. By the way, the kit includes an activation code for the card and instructions for using it. In addition, keep in mind that for each year of card service you will have to pay $12, except for the first: it is free.
The third point is, of course, the ability to work with many mobile applications. The application for mobile devices is supported by iOS and Android operating systems. Today this is also not uncommon, but at the time of the creation of the Bitcoin wallet in question, this was a precedent. However, it has provided many benefits to users. In particular, having access to your wallet through your mobile device is very convenient, not to mention it is much faster than going home and logging in through your computer.
In general, if you are looking for an option for storing or working with bitcoins, it is difficult to find a more reliable and convenient service. Although no one says that there are few alternatives. It’s just that this resource is truly one of the best, as evidenced by its consistently high popularity among users for many years.
It seems that Haro is not just adapting to new requirements for Bitcoin wallets, but creating trends that other developers follow.
Basic Operations
The Hapo crypto wallet provides its users with the opportunity not only to replenish and withdraw crypto assets, but also to exchange them. There is also a cryptocurrency cold storage service.
How to top up
To add money to any of the wallets (both fiat and fiat), use the Add Funds button. Let us remind you that here the client will immediately be asked to verify. If everything is in order with this question, then a page will open where you need to select a wallet. Then the proposed options indicate the desired method of depositing funds.
You can also top up your wallet by copying its address and transferring it from an external source.
Important! Please note that Xapo uses dynamic multi-table wallet addresses. With each new transaction received, the address will change. Thanks to this, no one on the Bitcoin network will be able to track how much money the user has on his balance. However, you can send cryptocurrency to those addresses that were used previously. The money will still come to the account.
Usually Bitcoin wallet addresses start with 1, but due to the multi-table nature of Xapo, addresses start with 3.
Figure 11. BTC wallet address in Hapo
How to exchange
To exchange cryptocurrency for fiat or another cryptocurrency, you should click on the required wallet on the main page in your account. Then on the page that opens, for example, for wallet BTC you need to click the “Buy / Sell BTC” button. Next, in the form that opens, select the Buy or Sell tabs and indicate the direction of the exchange.
Figure 12. Exchange form
After clicking the red button, another form will appear below, where you will be asked to enter a password. The exchange will be completed after clicking on the “Confirm Transaction” button.
Figure 13. Exchange transaction confirmation
How to withdraw
Let's look at how withdrawals are carried out using the Bitcoin crypto wallet as an example. First you need to click on it on the main page of the resource. In the window that opens, select the Transfer or Send buttons. The first is intended for internal transfer within the resource to other wallets. The second one withdraws funds to external addresses.
Figure 14. Withdrawal of funds
Next, the address is inserted into the appropriate field, the required amount is indicated, and the Transfer or Send buttons are pressed.
Figure 15. Sending money
Cold storage
The resource xapo.com offers another service – cold storage of cryptocurrency. The website states that this is the company's main product. All funds are transferred to remote servers, disconnected from the Internet. Servers are scattered in 3 geographical zones: Europe, America and Oceania. According to the owners of the service, all storage facilities are under reliable protection of armed guards.
To transfer funds to cold storage, click Vault on the main page. You will also have to enter an additional password.
Figure 16. Transferring cryptocurrency to cold storage
The window that opens contains the following buttons:
- My address – allows you to view the address of the cold storage;
- Transfer – used to transfer coins for storage. The user will have to follow the steps described in the previous subparagraph of the review “How to withdraw”;
- Retrieve – retrieval of coins. This process takes up to 48 hours on business days after submitting your application.
Figure 17. Vault storage
Additionally, you can configure the Vault storage settings. To do this, click on the gear image on the logo. Here you can do the following:
- enable 2-factor authentication for this wallet;
- change the name;
- add users who will be able to view balances, add or remove crypto assets.
Commissions
Until February 2022, Xapo was the favorite wallet of users collecting cryptocurrency on faucets. The reason for this is the absence of commissions for depositing and withdrawing any amount of coins. After the introduction of the changes, commissions appeared, the current values of which at the time of preparation of the review are indicated in the table.
Purpose of the operation | Number of coins, BTC | Commission, BTC |
Internal transfer | any | 0 |
Conclusion | any | 0.00001813 – standard |
0.00004039 – increased for faster withdrawal | ||
Deposit | ≤ 0,00002376 | 0,00001584 |
> 0,00002376 | 0 | |
Vault | ≤ 0,00003495 | 0,0000233 |
> 0,00002376 | 0 |
Commission values change dynamically depending on the congestion of the Bitcoin network. Therefore, they need to be checked before the operation. All commissions go to pay for miners’ services.
Creation, registration and verification of a wallet
The Haro startup appeared in 2012, but the company is still developing today, trying to regularly develop and implement innovative technologies. In 2014, the amount of investment in the project under consideration amounted to more than a hundred million dollars. But this did not make the developers stop. They continue to develop and implement something new, proving by their example that you can remain among the leaders for a long time.
But in order to be able to take advantage of all the advantages of the site in question, you need to create an online wallet, register on it and undergo verification in order to gain full access to the capabilities of the system.
So, the first step is to create a haro wallet where your money will be stored. By the way, money is entered in accordance with the current exchange rate: this is an automatic process. But first you need to create this wallet, that is, register it. And after registration, users will be in for a surprise, since each registered person receives a small bonus in the amount of five hundred satoshi to their account.
- Enter your first name, last name and patronymic. It is very important that the information is real and you can confirm it. Simply put, use the data that is indicated in your passport. This will save you from most of the hassle when you have to go through the check;
- You must also correctly indicate the country in which the user lives. This is also very important when registering. In principle, the wallet works all over the world, but specific settings are impossible without this information;
Since registration confirmation takes place via email, you must specify the correct resource. Moreover, it is important to use only mail that is registered with Google, that is, use the gmail service;- When the user is finished with personal information, you need to enter passwords that will be used to provide access to the account. But the four-digit password is entered only when you have made the transition by pressing the Next key. So, once the PIN is entered, the next step is to come up with a password. It needs to be complex because its job is to provide account access. If the password is simple, then it is easy to hack. So it's in your best interest to take care of complexity;
- To confirm that you are a real and valid user, the registration form will prompt you to enter a captcha;
- You can complete the registration procedure by clicking on the link that will come with the letter to the specified email. To do this, check the letters. If you receive a letter from Haro, open it and click on the big red button: this is the link.
When you are finished with registration, you need to log into your account. It is clear that when you log in for the first time, you need to authorize yourself, that is, enter the password that you created earlier and your email address as a login. After this, you will be redirected to the main page. Then you can familiarize yourself with the resource menu. In particular, we are interested in the Wallet tab, that is, the wallet. The address of your wallet is indicated here, which will be used in the future for financial transactions. In addition, there will be information on how to withdraw money and replenish your wallet.
Next, it is advisable to activate the Receive button. This will allow you to get your storage number, which is important if you want to make a profit from Bitcoin games. And now about the verification procedure, which provides many benefits. In particular, it allows you to protect your account from many risks, including unauthorized deposits or withdrawals of funds.
For example, many applications are attached to a mobile phone number. In addition, access to the account is now carried out through a double password. To enter it, you need to carry out the following procedure:
- Look at the left side of the page and click on Security Settings;
- Click on Set Password;
- Create and duplicate a password using numbers and letters, preferably in different case.
Verification is carried out through the provision of documents to identify the user. Most often, a passport is chosen as an identifier. Enter his number and your mobile number. After the verification is completed, the resource can be used in full force.
Verify your data
Protect and verify your account:
- Confirm your phone number.
- Go through personal data verification.
Provide only reliable information. When you enter a city, select from the list. Find your region and click on the name.
You will not be able to withdraw funds without account verification. Enter only correct information.
To withdraw funds, you must provide a password. If you don't have a password, set it.
To do this, click on your login in the left corner of your account and select Security Settings Change Password, and also verify your phone.
Using xapo wallet to send or receive Bitcoin is very convenient.
There is no need to download and install additional software; everything can be done online.
Xapo functionality
When we choose a wallet for making payments and transfers with bitcoins, we will definitely pay attention to Xapo. The fact is that this service has a wide number of functional features, which are its main advantage. But the modern range of applications has a large number of different options for cryptocurrencies. What is so special about this option?
To do this, you need to study the operation of the wallet in more detail.
- After all the preparatory work on setting up your online wallet is completed, you can finally go to your dashboard.
- The first thing a person pays attention to when they go to the page in question is the advertisement. Users are encouraged to order a debit card. We've talked about it before, so we won't stop there. If the order is not yet interesting to us, then this advertisement can be ignored.
- Further in the functional plan, the user may be interested in two tabs - Wallet and Vault (wallet and storage). It is logical that the functionality of the wallet is intended for transactions, transfers and payment for various operations. That is, the wallet bears most of the functional responsibilities. But Vault, that is, storage, has a different purpose - its job is to store money earned by the user on faucets. This is where the user’s money will be completely safe.
As for the immediate functions that your wallet has, there are three:
- The first is to deposit money into the account, and it is designated as Deposit;
- The second function reflected in the wallet menu is pay - Pay, used to transfer money to another account or the like, that is, withdraw money;
- The third and final function used here is Insure. It will be useful when there are large amounts of funds in the account and insuring them is the only option to be sure that the money will not be taken away in some way.
By the way, it turned out that the functionality of the online wallet itself allows not only withdrawal, but also earnings of cryptocurrency. To do this, you need to send messages by mail and earn a small amount of bits (coins that the system itself creates) for this. The same coins are provided on Facebook and Twitter. In addition, there is a referral link and a tipbot feature that allows you to pay people on Twitter using a specific text structure. Even lower on the page you can see a “Twitter feed”, which contains approximate instructions for using the tipbot.

Dear investors, in this review we will look at one of the most popular online Bitcoin wallets in RuNet - XAPO.
We will impartially evaluate its pros and cons, and find out for what purposes and tasks it will be most effective. Before I begin a full review of this wallet, I’ll immediately make a small remark.
In my opinion, XAPO is not really a wallet, contrary to its name in the title. Only YOU have access to the wallet, but the XAPO development is more like a bank or storage facility, to which the developer, founder or, if you like, the owner of this development has access along with you. Therefore, our first priority is to find out who these same founding developers are.
Going to the official website, section “About the company”, we see brief information about the creators and investments.
The CEO and founder of XAPO is Wences Casares, an international entrepreneur, the founder of the so-called “bank for the poor” in Brazil – “Lemon Bank”, which continues to operate successfully to this day. He has also founded a number of successful financial institutions and technology businesses in America and Europe.
We also note that among the company’s consultants are John Reed, former CEO of CitiBank, one of the founders of Visa, Dee Hock, and former US Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers.
The company we have chosen is more than reputable; these guys clearly know a lot about business and finance. Although it is not possible to verify the information 100%, we either believe the official data or we don’t.
Xapo Security
For any online wallet that deals with cryptocurrency, security is very important. After all, there are often cases when people lost significant sums due to the fact that the resources that managed their investments simply failed to ensure complete security, for which clients paid.
But Xapo was originally created as the most reliable bitcoin storage, so data protection is at its best, which has been proven many times. Now let’s learn more about how to fully and securely store information resources in the form of cryptocurrency on the service:
- After the application is installed, the user is asked to log into his account after confirming the specified email address;
- Next comes the security settings. The user customizes the program to suit himself and his needs, which is why this function was retained when developing the wallet: it allows you to raise the level of operational capabilities and ease of use of the wallet. In order to carry out the manipulations in question, enter the Security settings menu;
- The next step is to set up two-factor user authentication. To do this, you need to use a six-digit complex password that will be generated by Google Authentificator. Moreover, it is important to keep it in a safe place so as not to lose access to your account;
Next, it is important to indicate your mobile phone number. This is where messages about restoring access will be sent in the event of loss of access to the wallet. So the phone should be working and always with you;- After the procedure with the phone is completed, it is time to change the PIN code and set a new password.
But this was not all the work to ensure the security of the wallet. For owners of large capital, the company offers an alternative - a storage bank, the security of which is no less than that of the largest banks in the world. This project was discussed in 2014. Then they talked about a storage facility under armed guard. The assets themselves will be stored in special Bitcoin safes. And the computers on which the bitcoins will be placed are never connected to the computer, so hackers simply cannot get to them.
In principle, this idea quickly found its fans, since cryptocurrency is rapidly growing in price, based on which measures to ensure its security should increase. The usual complex password system is clearly not enough when it comes to millions of Bitcoins, which are very expensive today. So bank vaults for digital currency are exactly what is needed, this is a natural development of this industry. And Xapo, as always, is leading the way in this area, being a catalyst for the development of security technologies in the field of cryptocurrency.
Today, the company’s clients store assets in virtual storage, paying 0.12% per year of the amount stored for increased security of their savings. And so far, clients have not complained about either the prices for services or the quality of these same services. And ordinary users who use a minimum of bitcoins, and therefore are not interested in increased security of the resource, can simply insure their money or do nothing at all, using the standard protection method described above.
Interface overview
The Xapo crypto wallet has a simple and intuitive interface. Let's look at what it looks like after logging in to the computer. There is a round icon in the upper right corner. By clicking on it, a drop-down list appears. There are 3 buttons here:
- profile settings;
- Security Settings;
- Sign Out.
By clicking on the first tab, the user will be taken to a page with personal data. Here you can change your date of birth, indicate your city of residence, and select the currency in which balances will be duplicated. There is also a list with a choice of language. At the time of writing, only English, Spanish and Portuguese were available. In the last field you can specify a backup email.
Figure 7. Editing personal data
By clicking on the Security Settings tab, you are given the opportunity to change the PIN, login password and associated phone number.
There is a bell icon next to your profile settings in the right-left corner. When you click on it, a list with notifications is displayed: authorization on the resource, sending and receiving funds, completed transactions. To return to the main page of the site, just click on the resource logo in the upper left corner.
Supported currencies

Advantages of xapo wallet
The Haro wallet positions itself as an online-type wallet, but in fact the resource is much deeper and more multifunctional. But first of all, it has a lot of advantages, so if you have a problem about which wallet to choose, then it can be easily solved by choosing the resource in question. So, let's look at the advantages of this wallet:
- The first advantage is the presence of a debit card for the Xapo Debit Card wallet. Thanks to this card, you can access all the money on your balance. The ability to order a Haro debit card allows you not only to use virtual resources more freely, but also to make purchases in online stores with its help. This makes Bitcoins closer to ordinary people, rather than presenting them as something distant and complex, practically inapplicable in real life;
Transactions are free. Since most online wallets require you to pay a fee for every financial transaction, many people do not like this. Such rules are not used on this wallet, so the user saves significantly on paying various fees and commissions. In addition, withdrawals from books to wallet are also completely free;- The third advantage is the mobile version of the wallet, which allows you to use the resource via a mobile phone, while remaining confident in the complete security of your wallet account;
- And of course, the list of advantages includes the ability to purchase bitcoins at the rate valid within the network;
- To receive cash rewards, it is possible to use Bitcoin faucets. This is one of the main advantages of the wallet in question. Many users register a wallet just for this purpose in order to receive and store profits from Bitcoin faucets;
- In order to store bitcoins, you can use two application options: a regular wallet, in which the currency is stored at the current rate, and the so-called “cold” storage Vault. It preserves the coins in the same form in which they were placed there. That is, money is no longer afraid of exchange rate fluctuations or other events in the coin market;
- An undeniable advantage, which we have already talked about, is the high level of security of the wallet in question. Several levels ensuring the security of transactions make the wallet in a certain way more reliable than any safe. For example, a new address is generated for each transaction, making it impossible to track the wallet;
Faucets and payment of rewards for registering with Haro are also a nice bonus. Of course, the amounts are small, but for mailing, tweeting and posting on Facebook, the user is given small incentive payments in the form of bits. In principle, the payments are small, but it’s nice to receive them;- And of course, we must not forget about the ability to work in virtual tunnels such as Tor and others.
But since we are talking about the advantages, it would be unfair to remain silent about the disadvantages, because they also exist. And knowing them, the user will be able to more rationally decide whether or not to use the Haro Bitcoin wallet. So, among the disadvantages we can highlight the following:
- Unfortunately, the funds you hold in your Bitcoin wallet are controlled by a third party. That is, the service has all the rights to your cryptocurrency. Naturally, this is alarming, because at any moment it can be frozen or simply disappear due to some kind of failure in the wallet. But a lot of wallets work the same way, and they don't have the ability to do fund insurance like you can do on Haro;
Each user is subject to verification by a centralized service, which does not allow for complete anonymity. That is, the user registering for the service must provide personal information about himself, including providing documents, mobile phone number, and more. But without this you cannot pass verification. The risk of such a procedure is that a third party may use user data to simulate or hide transactions. But again, such a procedure is necessary to ensure the required level of security and is used by many services;- Remote wallet management through mobile applications can also be considered a disadvantage. The fact is that this is another party that will participate in managing your wallet, and therefore will gain access to it. This is a risk, but it is doubtful that the developers of the most secure Bitcoin wallet would take such a risk;
- To protect your device and your funds stored on a virtual wallet, it is better to use all levels of protection. And for some users, it is quite difficult to understand how to manage them, since it is advisable to use passwords, codes, keys and other alternative security options. This complicates the wallet operating environment.
You need to be very careful when choosing which Bitcoin wallet you will use in the system. The fact is that when using Haro application resources, private key management is not provided. This means that Haro is not a Bitcoin wallet, but a bank for storing Bitcoin currency. And if you have a private key, then there is proof of your right to own bitcoins. If there is no key, then the money goes to the service.
Installation procedure
You can download the Xapo wallet from the official website using this link, or by searching on the App Store (for Apple) or Play Store (for Android). To install, follow the standard instructions provided by the program.
The application will ask for permission to forward and view SMS messages, as well as enter the country and mobile phone number. Working with the application requires the use of English.
Then it will be checked, after which the application will offer to continue working using your existing Google or Facebook account, or by registering through an email address:
Then the registration of the Xapo wallet continues, which requires entering personal information about the user. You must enter your last name, first name, date of birth and country of residence:
All data must be entered in English letters, because the program cannot work with Cyrillic. After entering personal data, a PIN code is created to work with the application:
Next, you need to create a password that is used for operations related to withdrawal of funds.
After creating a PIN code and password, the application will ask you to take a selfie photo of the user:
In order to finally register your Xapo wallet using your mailbox, you must confirm that you have access to it by clicking on the link contained in the verification letter:
After registration, you can launch the application, but you will not be able to work in it until verification is completed.
Account verification is carried out by providing a copy of an official identification document and checking the address of the wallet owner.
Reliable Bitcoin faucets paying rewards on Xapo
Conventional mining is now not so often used for bitcoins, since it has ceased to be profitable. But as an alternative, you can use Bitcoin faucets, which pay in Satoshi for the time spent on simple tasks. It is these satoshis that can be stored in the wallet in question. But since today various online wallets allow you to work with cryptocurrency, many of them try to act in deceptive ways. If you find good resources, all you have to do is take the wallet number and paste it into a special line on the main page of the faucet.
Let's look at a few popular faucets that cooperate with the wallet in question and whose work you can rely on.
- Daily Free Bits.
One of the most popular faucets, thanks to which users can earn from a hundred to a thousand (or a little more) Satoshi within an hour. There is a threshold for withdrawal to a wallet of two thousand satoshi. It’s not difficult to accumulate it, although the computer will have to work quite hard. - Moon Bitcoin. A simple and convenient faucet where you can earn decent money, given that the intervals between data entries are very small. You can start working every five minutes. There is no captcha, but you need to click on a special button to top up your balance. If you perform an operation every five minutes, you can get ten or twenty coins. Two seconds - and the satoshi will already be in your wallet. You can transfer coins to your wallet once a week, and the minimum limit is 5,500 satoshi. The harder you work, the higher your chances of receiving additional bonuses and rewards.
- Best Change. A faucet ideal for novice users. It's easy to register and the design is nice. In addition, this project is free, and the transfer to the wallet is lightning fast. About a thousand satoshis are paid out every thirty minutes, but since the rate has increased, it is doubtful that one-time payments will be so large. You will have to try hard to receive such amounts.
- Free 4 Faucet. A faucet that has a lot of good reviews, which is why it attracted attention. This project has been running since 2015. You need to go in for coins every half hour. The resource gives out about a hundred coins at a time, but there are bonuses.
- Bit Fun.
Another good faucet, which, despite its relative youth, is a success. The fact is that there is an opportunity to make good money here. If you act well, you can get ten thousand satoshi. As a rule, this amount comes out after 4–5 days of work on the crane. One captcha costs about a hundred coins. Navigation is simple, as is working on the resource. True, the menu is in English, but these are minor things. - Coin Bulb. This is more of a professional platform. It is especially suitable for people involved in advertising. The faucet offers good traffic, absolute security, and, of course, you can use it to grow your business. In particular, here you can not only earn bitcoins, but also post ads. A one-time payment for visits is a minimum of 110 Satoshi. When four thousand coins have accumulated, they can be withdrawn to your wallet. When you make a withdrawal, the satoshi will be in your wallet account within a few seconds. This is one of the best faucets that actually pays.
- Field Bitcoins. This is an automatic faucet that works through a special program that collects Satoshi for the person who set it up. That is, the program works, and you can calmly go about your business. Moreover, one visit is only one hundred and one hundred and fifty satoshi. There is no need to register here, just enter your Haro wallet number. To receive a payment, it is advisable to receive 25 thousand satoshi.
- AlienFaucet.
This is a game project. More like a vacation than a real means of earning money. Here users shoot at aliens and thereby earn bitcoins. You can engage in battle with aliens with a break every five minutes. But to start working there, you need to have an account on Facebook, since registration can be done through the social network. In addition, to register you need an email that ends in .com. If you use another mailbox, it will be blocked by bot filters. - Claim BTC. This faucet is the center of bonuses, competitions and lotteries. Some newcomers are even given bonuses simply for registering or logging into the faucet system. To withdraw money to your wallet, you need to earn about twenty thousand satoshi.
First stage
In general, the Xapo registration procedure will not be difficult, because using the wallet is quite simple. Follow the step by step instructions.
- First, open the Xapo app, view the information page in the demo version.
- The next step is to confirm, press the red key at the bottom of the window.
- Select your country and then enter your contact phone number.
- Next, you should provide your email address and personal information. We are talking about name, date of birth.
- If you entered everything correctly, then you should confirm the action.
- Create a PIN code to enter your wallet. You will also need a password to log into your Xapo vault.
- At the end you need to take a selfie and upload a photo. This will complete the wallet registration procedure.
If you did everything correctly, you will receive an SMS notification within a short period of time. That Xapo registration was successful.
To activate your wallet, you need to follow the link sent to your email address. After the manipulations have been completed, the wallet is ready for use, and you have become a new Xapo user.
Reviews about the work of Xapo
Nowadays, finding a really high-quality site where you can store bitcoins is not easy, but Xapo wallet is one of the best. Today there are many resources that withdraw bitcoins specifically to this wallet. It is not surprising that there are many opinions about him on the Internet.
The Xapo Wallet wallet can offer its owner advanced functionality options. It is even possible to issue debit cards. Moreover, this was the first time something like this had been done with this particular wallet: the card had not been used for cryptocurrency before. And with this add-on, users can shop all over the world without paying any commission fees.
But if we take into account all the pros and cons of the system, it is still advisable to use this wallet only for small amounts in bitcoins. And if you decide to store large sums, then it is very important to have private keys that allow you to access the money.
Now regarding the reviews. The overall rating of the wallet is 3.5 out of 5. Of course, the indicator is not the highest, but given the great competition, users can understand: everyone is looking for places where it is more profitable, convenient and pleasant to work. Here are some user reviews:
- User luckyluciano points out that this is a good wallet: you can buy currency and you can store bitcoins in storage. Believes that the service is one of the most reliable on the modern market;
- User aramic also praises the wallet, considering it the most profitable for receiving bitcoins. In addition, it notes its reliability and resistance to various kinds of crises, which are not uncommon in the cryptocurrency world. Payments work perfectly, there are no problems and the transfer speed is fine. And of course, the absence of commission when transferring bitcoins is also a big plus;
- User ivaf talks about his distrust of XAPO. The main dissatisfaction is with the collection of personal data, since there is no adequate explanation of who needs this data and why.
In general, despite the fact that the wallet has many positive reviews, there are also plenty of people dissatisfied with its performance. Nevertheless, the wallet has been working for a long time and is in stable demand, so one thing is for sure: it is reliable.
