Why bank your Bitcoin?
Because it keeps your holdings safer, while making it easy to transact, and possible to earn. And it means there are multiple layers of protections in place for your funds, even if Xapo Bank were to close.1 We comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations and keep your Bitcoin holdings and transaction information private by design.
