Xapo bank?

I was at the registered address in Gibraltar some years ago (when it still was an EMI).
There was nothing related to XAPO. No room and not even a postbox.

So I asked the neighbours. They told me they had never heard of XAPO. And they too started searching the mailbox with me. They couldn't find it either.

On the other hand: To my knowledge, they have never scammed anyone.
It all speaks for them. A ghosted bank.
 
Will I get a dedicated bank account? Originator wires will be in my name?
My main concern is that if I make a transfer from XAPO to my bank account they know I'm involved in crypto business and ask me further documentation.

So this bank can be used to send GBP to Interactive Brokers? (Funded with USDC).
Hey, have you already had the chance to try?

It's a bank with it's own sort code and when you open an account with them you will get your own account number. They use Faster Payment System so transfers between UK banks will be instant and free. You will be able to transfer funds in GBP to any UK bank/building society. I don't deal with Interactive Brokers, but I believe funding your IB account from Xapo shouldn't cause any issues.
