“Stay away”

Stay away from this company if you are looking to invest. My colleague lost almost 200k CAD to this crooks and she was devastated for months. She could not withdraw her capital not to mention the profits that was shown on her portfolio. However, it was lucky that she met a company online who took it upon themselves to recover the stolen funds. To all potential investors, it is better not to invest than to go through the stress sammy went through to get her hard earned money back. Incase you have already invested, feel free to reach out to me14solutions

I like their staking program. I bought some crypto when it had a very high price and now, while the market is bearish, I am holding the coins and getting rewards, and I can sell them anytime as Cex.io don`t have lock-up period for staking. Also, I had some problems during the verification, but the support team helped me. So thank you, guys.

Verified purchase

I've been using this platform since 2020 and it was only good experience so far. I have an Address verification which is more than enough as I'm not making any large transactions. Registration and Verification process took me couple of minutes, thus no problems with that. I'm mostly using an app, sometimes web version becomes handy as well. I really like new Exchange Plus feature that gives more possibilities for the experienced traders. Besides, you can always find something new on their University page.

Security is on a high level, never faced anything strange with that, but it requires extra caution from their side, thus from time to time I can receive some additional verifications check like selfie with a card.

In a nutshell, good and reliable platform to use.

Love the exchange and the experience it offers. Verification was quick for me variety of payment options (especially card support) is really practical). Trading and buying crypto is easy. Missing more orders types, but for simple buy and sell is more than enough. Love staking service (practial in bear maker), and mobile app are topping my list!

So I put 100 dolalrs thinking I was putting plenty to pay for 70 to sign up for oceansea.co By the time I put money in, bought ether and sent like. 04 ether, these cork soakers charged me so much in fees I only had like 65 or so to the destination. Absolutely zero contact ability, absolute filth. I was about 10 to upload and purchase the ether, then. 01 freaking ether to send. 04, which is 25 PERCENT of what I tried to send. Absolutely criminal.

I'm a user of the Aurus ecosystem and usually trade tXAU, tXAG, and tXPT on CEX.IO. I have to say, I'm quite impressed with the platform's user-friendly interface. The transaction goes quite fast, and that's all I need for now. Also, they have lots of coins and tokens, so I'm looking forward to trying out all their trading options.

The exchange blocked my money on the basis of my nationality. I am a citizen of Belarus, although I have not been there for more than a year due to the political situation. I spent 67 days in prisons for protesting against the authoritarian regime of Belarus. Everyone of my family, except for a 10-years-old brother, was at least once arrested and tortured in Belarus.

"We will follow the sanctions that are being implemented. As soon as they are lifted from your country" — this is what they wrote.

But there is no sanctions imposed on me. Sanctions are imposed on Mr. Putin, Mr. Lukashenka and their friends, not freedom fighters who suffered the most from the post-soviet authoritarian system.

The company illegally holds my money. Since my funds were frozen, their price dropped at least 200%, plus, of course, they don't pay me any interest for holding my savings.

Such behavior is absolutely unacceptable. Harassing the weak, people like me, who first had to flee from the regime to Ukraine, then had to flee from the regime for the second time, people who have little rights abroad, is immoral.

I am open to communication in relation to this matter with media. This company shouldn't get away with it.

P.S. The list of documents I attached (I might forgot to include some here):

- Rental agreement in Prague, Czech Republic
- Resident permit in Prague, Czech Republic
- Vodafone bill in Prague, Czech Republic,
- Parking permit in Prague, Czech Republic
- Laboratory report in Prague, Czech Republic
- A letter from the Ministry of Interior in Prague, Czech Republic
- Bank statement
- List of bank transactions

My account was blocked due to "international sanctions imposed on Russian residents." Despite my current residence and employment in a different country, my account remained subject to this block.

Throughout the past 10 months of communication with CEX.io, I endeavored to prove that I am not a resident of Russia. Their initial request for an apartment lease agreement expanded to include additional documents like an internet payment invoice, a driving license, exhaustive proofs of my current source of income (including bank statements and payslips), and even detailed explanations of the source of funds for the past three years.

Despite adhering to all their requirements, I am left in a deeply distressing situation where my funds remain blocked. For the past two months, I have received no response from CEX.IO except for the repeated assertion that their compliance department needs more time.

It's noteworthy that even according to the EU Commission's consolidated FAQ, "assets on the accounts and/or in the services should be returned to the customer, or be converted into fiat currency or another asset category that is not subject to sanctions". However, CEX.io has chosen to unlawfully withhold my funds.

Given these circumstances, I am compelled to escalate this matter further. My forthcoming actions involve lodging complaints with both the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) and the United States Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

In summary, my experience with CEX.IO has been characterized by frustration, disappointment, and a sense of injustice. Their treatment of my case and their use of discriminatory practices have undermined my confidence in the platform. I hope that this review serves as a cautionary tale for others who may encounter similar challenges.
