CEX.IO: Capital seizure, usury, and extortion—Don't be fooled: they operate under a model of absolute opacity and contractual coercion. 1- FORCED REFUND: It is false that they manage voluntary withdrawals. My funds were only released after Advanzia Bank and Mastercard intervened following my fraud complaint. They ignored my emails until they were legally cornered. Claiming security after being forced is an ethical fraud. 2- LEGAL SUBMISSION: Forcing me to record a video waiving my right to claim a refund is illegal and invalid according to EU Directive 93/13 and the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015. It is EXTORTION, not security. An abuse of power that invalidates their own contracts. 3-USURY: 4.99% commissions and abusive spreads to extract value from the client. 4-BAD FAITH: Blocking accounts via VPN to force waivers violates the principle of "Treating Customers Fairly". - WITHOUT the intervention of Mastercard and your issuing bank, CEX.IO will seize your capital. Do not trade here.

CEX.IO: Secuestro de capital, usura y extorsión-No se dejen engañar: operan bajo un modelo de opacidad y coacción contractual absoluta.1-DEVOLUCIÓN FORZOSA: Es falso que gestionen retiros voluntariamente. Mis fondos solo fueron liberados tras la intervención de Advanzia Bank y Mastercard por mi denuncia de fraude. Ignoraron mis correos hasta verse acorralados legalmente. Presumir seguridad tras ser obligados es un fraude ético.2-SUMISIÓN JURÍDICA: Obligar a grabar un vídeo renunciando a reclamar para devolver mi dinero es ilegal y no tiene validez segun la Directiva UE 93/13 y la UK Consumer Rights Act 2015. Es EXTORSIÓN, no seguridad. Un abuso de poder que invalida sus propios contratos.3-USURA: Comisiones del 4.99% y spreads abusivos para la extracción de valor del cliente.4-MALA FE: Bloquear cuentas por VPN para forzar renuncias viola el principio "Treating Customers Fairly".-SIN la intervencion de Mastercard y de tu banco emisor, CEX.IO secuestrará tu capital.No operes aqui

I am trying to withdraw my funds but…
I am trying to withdraw my funds but can not. I can not get anyone from CEX to reply to me or answer the phone...

They made me jump through a lot of hoops when I opened the account, KYC things including proof of income etc. I was assured I was compliant with their standards. Now I am unable to withdraw my funds (even in crypto format to another crypto wallet).

I will let you know if they get back to me within the next 24 hours. If they do not, I would strongly advise people to stay away from this platform.

I used this ex but when need payout , not allow me. CEX.IO has been known to restrict user access to funds. Why? Well, it seems their profits are tied up in holding more coins from users like us. So, be prepared for potential delays or limitations when trying to withdraw your hard-earned crypto.Stay informed, stay safe, and happy trading.

For me, the good value is in their Staking and Savings programs. They actually give higher staking rewards for some coins, which is nice. It's also super simple to use.

As far as exchange, they've added a lot of DeFi coins, and various digital assets in general. So - good diversity there. And decent liquidity, especially lately.

Join this exchange if you like captcha challenges. I tried to create an account and was challenged 15 times. I then tried to log into my new account and the captchas were never ending. I was never able to log in. I must have been challenged 50 or 60 times. I finally sent an email and told them to delete my account.

Been using the Crypto trading side of CEX, not very good experience and support takes a while to respond. Can't talk about the brokerage services as I've made no use of them thus far
