What happens in the event of a disaster/theft/loss?

All funds in the wallet are lost.

Mobi Wallet is a good option for those who often make international payments, who regularly need to exchange Bitcoin and fiat currencies or who regularly travel and want to spend their Bitcoins anywhere on the globe. Wallet UX design is clean and intuitive allowing users to quickly exchange, store, receive and spend Bitcoin.

Summary:

Mobi Wallet provides a good user experience and enough functionalities for those in need of making BTC, ETH, LTC, BCC deposits and international payments. Although this wallet platform is developed and supported by a reputable Chinese company which states that security is high regarding the private key cold-storage, users don't have full control over their assets with this software.
