Is repeatedly in the criticism because of questionable machinations. Fiat payouts have recently been blocked. Even if their partner bank has problems, this is a NoGo for such a big stock market. They have to solve this differently!

Pros:
A support team very helpful and fast to answer, a wide range of high-quality assets to trade, their platform and API are really sophisticated makes it very easy to use!

Cons:
Their slow verification system and the 10K USD equity requirement needed to trade which is too high for starting users.Summary:
I simply love Bitfinex I've never had a single problem using them since January 2017, in my opinion, they're better than Binance their rival. If you are new to crypto exchanges but have the money I suggest you start on Bitfinex, I'm sure you will love it here.

Bitfinex is one of the largest exchanges out there and targeted towards pros. It has a bit of a learning curve, but if you want to trade large amounts of crypto, Bitfinex is probably the place to be.
However, I cannot recommend this exchange for small investors. First they tried to get rid of small investors by requiring a minimum deposit of $10.000. While this limit has been lifted recently, they increased the deposit and withdrawal fees to a minimum of $60 which is kind of a rip-off if you're not transferring tens of thousands of dollars.

For me the Bitfinex interface was a bit overwhelming at first but it pays off to learn how to navigate through the site since they oftentimes have the best available price for a large range of traded cryptocurrencies. Also, it’s one of the few places where you can buy IOTA directly for fiat money.
