Review on xapo.com debit card & kraken.com please

[predator]

Hi,

I have read a lot about the exchanger http://www.kraken.com but can't find anything bad about them. Before I send them lots of my hard earned cash I would like to know if someone knows this service and if we can trust it?

Another service I found seems to be exactly the missing link I have been looking for since some time, it is the debit card from Bitcoin Debit Card - Xapo where we can load with BitCoin and withdraw in real money in stores, ATM's and many other places. Seems to be a real anonymous way to get money in cash...

Does some has input to one or both of these services please?

Kraken is used by million of people I read. However the other service I didn't‌ know. It is very interesting since it makes the whole thing a little easier 😀

For Xapo.com this sounds pretty cool:

Wonder what they mean by⁢ Upgrade if it is that you just have to verfify your account if so it's︀ cool. Will send them a ticket now to find out 🙂

Thanks OP for the hint,︁ seems to be a missing link.

Found this link http://bitreview.com/wallet/xapo they don't get the best reviews but also not a review‌ that they they are a SCAM or Fraud! It is more like the reviews PayPal‍ get which I personally can live with.

In matters to upgrade the account they wrote⁠ this:
which I believe is not a problem for you @auric 😉

Hope it helps!

There is also this operation / card which has the lowest fee Wirex - Drive‌ your money seems they can do the same as Xapo can do! They have some‍ good reviews too.

Xapo.com
As soon as you load the account with bitcoins / EUR or USD they‌ ask for verification 😀

When you want to order the debit card you will have to‍ provide your documents to get it lifted. So f**k privacy in this system. However, what⁠ I noticed is that we can choose a different address to get the card to⁤ which takes aprox 25 days to receive.

I completed the entire process just to test⁣ now we will see if and when the card will arrive 😉

Ordered my card with Xapo today will see how this works. You are right they‌ require full documentation i.e. passport copy and utility bill for verification purpose.

Yep got the same message:

Well they responded within the 24 hours as⁤ they say, so far so good lets see how it will be going with this⁣ account 🙂

They are pretty fast not like some of the reviews I have seen so far:‌
