You have the option to pay a higher priority fee if you want your transaction processed more quickly.

Lightning Network Fees

Xapo doesn't charge a fee for Lightning network payments, which is a nice perk. However, the Lightning network itself charges a small variable transaction fee for each transfer.

This fee is fixed at 15 SAT (a type of Bitcoin unit) to protect Xapo members from unreasonably high transaction fees. If the fee is above 15 SAT, the transaction will fail.

To give you a better idea of how this works, here's a rough estimate of the fee in terms of trade value: 1% of trade value is equivalent to 1 USD.

If you need to withdraw more than $100 per month, you'll be charged 2% of the withdrawal amount, in addition to any fees charged by the ATM operator.

Replacing your card is also free, with no charge for the first replacement card issued in a year. However, additional replacement cards within the same year will cost $25 each.

If you need an emergency replacement card, it will cost $100 to produce, and you'll also need to pay for shipping, which depends on your address.

To order a Xapo physical card, you'll need to have a minimum balance of $150 in one of your Xapo accounts.

This requirement helps Xapo understand your interest in their cards and ensures a mutually beneficial banking relationship.

Any changes in your account balance after your card has been issued won't affect the status of your card.

However, to order a new or replacement card, you'll need to meet the minimum balance requirement at the time of your request.

The virtual card also has a 3% foreign transaction fee, which is applied to any transactions made in a foreign currency.

You can avoid the foreign transaction fee by using the virtual card for online purchases that are billed in your local currency.

Xapo doesn't charge any fees for ATM withdrawals in the US, but you'll be charged a $2 fee for each withdrawal at a non-US ATM.

The virtual card's fee structure is designed to be transparent and easy to understand, with no hidden fees or surprises.
