Xapo Bank, is the only fully licensed bank that makes it simple for members to bank with and grow their Bitcoin. Founded in 2013, it has evolved from an e-money wallet into a digital-first bank that is regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission.

They can also spend their Bitcoin as easily as fiat, with a universally accepted debit card. As the Fort Knox of Bitcoin, Xapo utilises a physical storage vault in tandem with MPC technology to bolster security for members. A uniquely secure offering with a vast Bitcoin reserve treasury, Xapo Bank also guarantees its members’ USD deposits up to the US dollar equivalent of €100,000, providing a trusted avenue for financial growth.
