Fix The Verification Process!

I won’t be as harsh on stars for verification, however, you need to get this issue fixed. I have (literally) had to re-do the verification process over 4 different times. You ask for additional info yet, when we try to submit, it will not accept new pic. Guys, read the reviews, they are telling you the issues. Lets get these glitches worked out! You have a great concept but, you’re losing customers daily as your verification process is a bit over the top. There are now numerous other projects becoming available daily to buy crypto on using bank/credit/debit/paypal etc. If you want the debit card pictured next to the ID card (which is unnecessary seeing as how the the ID and debit card have to be verified individually, hence showing you that the 2 are linked to the person) make sure the process of submitting the new pic is working to accept it. Otherwise, consider losing the pic of ID BACK/DEBIT CARD. I gave up trying as the price if BTC slowly rose out of the buy zone I was shooting for. I have since been verified on Coinbase and Abra, hence, making it obsolete for me to again attempt your verification process.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are sorry you are not happy with our verification process. Our users are of the highest priority for us, however, international and local regulations require CEX.IO to implement effective internal procedures in accordance with international standards for preventing illegal activity. One of them is customer due diligence (“CDD”). According to CDD, CEX.IO establishes its own verification procedures within the standards of anti-money laundering and “Know Your Customer” frameworks. What about the issue with the not accepted photo, kindly provide us with your user ID, so we could investigate your particular case more closely and do our best to resolve it.

Most bipolar AND inconvenient customer service I've experienced

Used to be able to deposit at least $300, upgraded my account to deposit more, after depositing more I received an email telling me to transfer all my investments since they don't provide service in Lebanon. I was born, raised and work in the UAE who happens to hold a Lebanese passport.

I've emailed them about the issue (on avg they respond once per month) and re-provided my ID with selfies, Passport, Work Visa, and Utility Bill yet still was asked to further clarify where I reside.

Eventually the case closed within 5 days before I had the chance to respond to them and wait weeks for a reply.

Additionally asked in the past if any refunds for upgrades are possible and they dodged that question like the terrorist that I am.

This isn't service but paranoia, 2 months of this mess.

Great concept . Horrible design

You can’t withdraw, always under maintenance . I lost a chance to profit 100k . I’ve been using this app all this time avoiding all these nay sayers about the site throughout my life . It would have been nice if I got any response from the staff even after complaining about this on Twitter.
Hope to see a better day .
Thanks

Great app

Awesome app, very well maintained and upgraded to follow their company progression. Really like the wallet quality send receive features and how they integrate so well with the exchange features side by side.

Only reservation is how coins were removed and we were charged fees to keep them on and now they added them again.... but that was likely due to a quiet market and saving on operational cost, now returned to the old approach with a great trading app.

Overall my trust of the company is greater than others in the competing space and along with this app and ability to handle alts this app and its platform win by far compared to similar platforms. (Unsure if segwit is supported, haven't checked...?)

Not had an issue

Withdrawing pin is a bit confusing and yes they are slow to respond to tech support but Coinbase and Hitbtc are no different response wise?? My deposits have been instant and wallet transfers fast so no problem for me.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you are satisfied with our app. Kindly elaborate on your concern regarding the withdrawal pin code to enable us to improve this feature. Thank you for cooperation!

The app is just fine

The people complaining about the signup process have no idea what they’re talking about. I had to do the same exact things on the website. If you don’t wanna go thru it on the app then just do it in your browser. Jeez.
