I am very happy with Bitfinex's support. I think I made something wrong with my lightning invoice, then I had to send them a message and they quickly responded to me saying that the withdrawal would be canceled as soon as possible.

I see a potential in this exchange, but slow verification process

I see a potential in this exchange, and very good reviews in other websites, so I did the signup process and started the verification stage (uploaded all documentation) but has been 8 weeks, two months and no notice at all.

It could be faster, I think.

EDIT: soon after this post, the good people at Bitfinex checked the case and did the proper steps to get the account verified quickly. Thanks.

Hi AB,

Have you spoke to our customer support team? It is very unusual for the verification to take this long. You can either speak on our live chat, visit the Telegram group (follow links on our website) or open a ticket via cs.bitfinex.com this will allow us to look into this for you and resolve any issues you may have.

Many thanks

hi SC Hattingh,

We're sorry to hear you've had a delay with a withdrawal. Our support team is available via the live chat feature, our official Telegram channel and the customer support pages. In some cases we may need to review a case before we can respond so we have all the details. Do you have a reference number and I can have one of our support team reach out with an update.

Whilst I have always had a prompt…

Whilst I have always had a prompt answer from Bitfinex, I was particularly impressed with Adam Butler in my interactions with him around liquidations. He did everything I think an elite sales person would do, provide the information, explain it clearly (not just send a link) and even come back to me at one point saying "please give me some time to reply as it will take a while to put this together". My experience has never been bad but this was exceptional.

Tight spreads, deep liquid books & support core devs.

The Bitfinex team consistently push the envelope on delivering best exchange experience possible to demanding investors like myself. Independent Kaiko data analysis confirms, very few other exchanges reach the tight spreads and depth of liquidity plus uptime when it really counts as Bitfinex consistently does. Not to mention backing open source projects and supporting core crypto devs in their work.

Roundly recommended.

Locked my account for no reason

Without warning or justification Bitfinex locked all of my account activity and are asking for information that does not exist in order to get it back. Other exchanges have odious KYC processes but this is on a whole other level. AVOID at all costs

5 stars deserves

I reach out the support for a mistake I made during a deposit.
They responded and acted immediately. Problem solved within a few hours.

Absolutely, in my opinion, the best crypto trading platform.

Cheaters

After 36 hours I still did not receive purchased Ethereum. Bitfinex and Mercuryo are hustlers and cheaters. They use my money/ETH to make profit. And now they are not replying and my money is gone. I will report this scam to police and share over social media. If you don`t want to loose money avoid Bitfinex

Lending Pro earnings not working for 2+ months

Great platform, but they need to improve or dedicate more resources to the lending pro section. I've had back and forth emails exchanged with support where they have told me it's a known issue and they are working on it. I would have given 5 stars but this issue is very annoying and has affected my returns, since the lending pro section has not been working or populating properly. Shame.

Efficiency at its best

Whenever I have an issue or a question, the support team is really reactive and follows up very quickly to my concern.

They always provide answers in less that an hour and sometimes even in the next following 5 minutes.

Good job guys !

I'll probably stick to Bitfinex for a while :-)
