Pros
Easy to use for major crypto coins and it is reputable. I feel I can trust it based on the number of smooth transactions I’ve had.
Cons
Transferring money is a pain, I’d like to be able to pay by card rather than transfer.

Greg H 👍
Pros
Kraken has been a fairly painless way to trade cryptocurrencies.
Cons
I’m looking forward to when Kraken or other platforms allow for ACH transfer of funds instead of wires. Also looking forward to a more simple and intuitive UI.

Clifford A 👍
Pros
It's easy to use the platform. And the significantly lower amount of transaction fees when it comes to sending and/or transferring bitcoin to other exchanges or my bank account is great.
Cons
They should reduce the time it takes for Know Your Customer (KYC) verification.

Pros
Possibility to quickly buy cryptocurrencies, big choice of currencies; good interface.
Cons
It took me 2 weeks to activate an account; technical issues, e.g. sometimes the site is not available.

Chan Y 👍
Pros
Multiple trading pairs available. One of the very few fiat to crypto exchanges that can offers that many coins.
Cons
Terrible lag and delays. During high trading volumes orders will get lost or the site will be down.

Daniel G 👍
Pros
Low fees compared to other exchanges, ability to transfer for free within Europe, large number of currency pairs available, ability to use margin, 2 step verification.
Cons
Not the best platform, but have invested in upgrades lately. Coinbase runs more smoothly and has vault ability.

Pros
Straightforward fiat deposit and withdrawal. Low to none fiat fees for EU residents. No security breaches yet.
Cons
Was slow before the trading engine revamp this year. Charges withdrawal fees on crypto unlike Bitstamp.

Tommy L 👍
Pros
The platform accepts fiat currency like euro. It's easy to transfer money from it. I also like to use binance for its ease.
Cons
Before the big update it was really unstable. Also the supported coins could be more!

It's not Coinbase; I heard interview with CEO and liked what I heard.

Funding via fiat takes forever; slow at times during high traffic.
