Employees lock customers out of their accounts & change our passwords on us. Your cash is not safe @ Bytefederal. ### 1/5 — Lost my $1900 *2024-06-05* I’m loosing my $1900 because of Byte Federal Sent $1922 to a different wallet from Byte Federal for 5 days today but payment is still saying pending no help from the support team I have tried contacting them for more than 10times and no help! ### 1/5 — Unable to sign up *2023-05-13* After filling in the personal details and click next. It said the phone verification system is not working, try again later. Throughout. Why!!!! ### 1/5 — Mars coin is a scam *2022-11-25, version 1.3.8* Owner blatantly promotes a scam exchange- finexbox and my app currently froze, cant wirhdraw.. Do not use !!! ### 1/5 — Lost my money to byte atm *2022-06-08* I just lost my money to byte atm put the money in then scanned the QR code hit done then it went blank, didn’t get my coin nor my money I’m literally crying right now ### 1/5 — Not working in UK *2022-01-27* They can not verify your phone in Uk so you can not sign up…… ### 1/5 — What’s wrong with the app *2021-11-29* I’m unable to sign up even after setting up an account and it ask for my ID front and back I did that too. To my greatest surprise all I could get till now is that my account has not been verified yet. How long is the verification process ### 4/5 — Fast and simple to use. However….. *2023-03-22* I’ve used this service throughout the last couple years and it’s been quick to use. The interface is great. Even the kiosks are easy to use. HOWEVER….the fees that are charged are insane. Example. Say someone buys XMR. $90 worth and have it sent to their wallet. Great! Easy to use there. However you will only get about $74 of that. $16 in fees is rediculous. This really needs to be fixed. I get there are fees to everything and I have no issue paying a fee but to pay THAT much on a little amount is rediculous. Everything else is great other than the horrendous fees charged. ### 5/5 — Amazing user experience *2025-08-12, version 1.7.0.1* Have used solflare and phantom but the the UX is so much smoother and straightforward. Would recommend consider as an alternative. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Use if bitcoin *2025-01-22* It was my first time using this service and I found your associate extremely helpful and with $25 off it was great. Thanks again ### 5/5 — CryptoEnthusiast2024 *2024-12-11* Game changer! The lightning Network implementation is flawless. Instant transactions, perfect for daily use. The ATM finder is incredibly accurate and the QR login feature saves so much time. Best wallet I’ve used in my 7 years in crypto. ### 5/5 — BTCMaximalist *2024-11-29* Finally! A wallet that truly understands Bitcoin. Lightning implementation is perfect, custom fees are great for optimization, and the UI is clean. This is Bitcoin as Satoshi intended. ### 5/5 — My favorite crypto and banking app *2024-11-28* Byte Wallet uniquely offers access to Lightning, Bitcoin and other coins plus a cash-app like banking experience with your own routing and account number.
