I downloaded the app, opened a "wallet" and went through all the steps required. I was given wire instructions so as to fund my wallet and I initiated the wire through my bank on April 21, 2020. ABRA doesn't charge a fee for the incoming wire, but I was still charged a fee by my bank to send it. After 10 business days, my money was still not showing in my wallet. I sent a message to ABRA to track it down. They claimed that my wallet had been restricted before the wire date. News to me. I had to reach out to ABRA several times as they were not updating me - customer service is horrible. I finally contacted Evolve Bank & Trust (on wire instructions) to track down my money. I was told, with the info I provided, that they could see the money come in, but since my wallet was restricted, I could not access it. If a wallet is restricted, don't provide wire instructions! The short story is that ABRA had almost $10k for a full month and finally sent it back to me when I started dropping the words "fraud" and "escalating this situation". After a month, I finally had my money back, but I had lost prime investing opportunities as well as being out the $20 fee for wiring it in the first place. In my opinion, they're lousy crooks who used my money for a month. And a side note, their app does NOT have a 5-star rating.

Avoid them like the plague. When I joined they had live support, as their scam crumbled there was no way to contact them out side of ignored dead end emails. You can buy hundreds to thousands of some crypto-currencies for a dollar or pennies, but if you try to diversify they will refuse to allow you to sell any small lots, keeping/stealing your investments with no way to get your funds or even discuss the situation. Total scam.

Signup was quick and simple. The app had me ready to go in no time. EDIT: Until I needed to deposit FIAT. They will restrict you in a heartbeat.
