I’ve used kraken for a while, and it’s decent overall, security seems solid and I like the coins available. Although it could be confusing to navigate. I couldn’t understand the different versions at first and lost some money as well… there’s definitely room for improvement

Thanks for the review! While Kraken is designed to be easy to navigate, if you’re looking for more advanced features, feel free to download and explore Kraken Pro.

It’s a separate app you can use with the same account, offering more direct trading tools and additional features. If you need help getting started, feel free to reach out anytime—we’d love to earn that extra ⭐

My bank keeps flagging and blocking my e-transfers to kraken, although this isn’t a kraken problem it successfully prevents me from transferring money to kraken so you should do something about it

Thanks for the feedback Paulo. It does sound like your bank is flagging those transfers on their side 😕

You might want to check with them to approve it, or try another method like PayPal or a wire transfer.

Confusing and obtuse

Confusing and obtuse. I was far more comfortable using paypal client. It seems Kraken is all about its own self promotion.

I don’t know

I don’t know, you tell me? You won’t let me trade like a normal person even after all this time. I don’t know what it’s going to take. It kind of worthless to even have an account open.

Hello, thanks for your feedback!

We understand it can take a bit of time to get familiar with transfers between Kraken and the wallet. To move funds to your Kraken Wallet, go to your Kraken account, select Withdraw, choose the asset, then add or select your Kraken Wallet address for that asset and confirm the transfer.

If you need help, feel free to reach out via our social channels, we’ll guide you step by step.
