That's pretty awesome 👍
Great news 💥
Thanks for sharing.
That’s a bold move…!
Xapo already has it, so it's logical.
Yep, I find it surprising that it’s coming to the UK too. Xapo always looked good but I was put off by the high yearly fee. Is it still £1000 a year? I’m also wondering if HMRC will view lightning transactions as taxable events 🤔
I’m sitting here smugly paying $150 a year by being an early adopter.
But yes, for the unwashed it is $1,000 per year.
I cannot comment on tax.
Wouldn’t even trust them with fiat.
They are a bank. I’d trust them the same as every other bank.
I believe I have 20 GBP in my main account right now.
I can afford to loose 20 GBP 😂
They are actually a e-money institution in the UK and not a bank, and don’t have to abide by UK banking rules, which whether related or not, may be the reason behind a lot of their shady shenanigans.
But yes.
I have some news for you:

Haha, didn’t update myself, shame on me.
Cool!
