High Fees and can't contact support and hold your money!
Have money sitting in their account and want to transfer it out, the website says its on hold for 7 days and if I don't like it, to contact their support. Contacted support via ticket and get 1 reply per day so far. Try calling their phone number and NO STAFF ARE AVAILABLE. Not a single person answers the phone, so why pretend you have a phone number. They are literally just holding onto peoples money and refusing to give it back. I have 2FA and no one knows my password. I dont need you to randomly choose to keep my money for "my safety".
UPDATE:
IN regards to their response. No they didn't explain anything. They did tell me they refuse to have my account and I had to close it, which meant I was forced to pay their expensive fees rather than withdrawing to a crypto wallet. I had done all my id verification etc and they were happy to take my money and fees. I stand by this review and not once did anyone call me or try and explain anything other than the email telling me I wasn't welcome to use their service (possibly after they saw my review).

My bank the Commonwealth bank cancelled my online banking as they said that your wallet is a scam and they will not let me waste my money.
You need to prove to tge Australian bank that you are legitimate

Reply from Cointree
Hi Ray,
Thank you for sharing your review.
Australian banks generally do not block deposits to us unless they have identified certain risks associated with specific bank accounts.
Banks have the responsibility to ensure the security and legitimacy of transactions. If your bank has cancelled or blocked a deposit, it is likely due to their own internal risk assessment processes.
We assure you that we are a legitimate cryptocurrency exchange platform and comply with all Australian regulatory requirements.
However, we recommend reaching out to your bank directly to understand the specific concerns they may have raised and to seek resolution.
If you require any further assistance or have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact our support team.
We are here to help you through this process.
Best regards,
The Cointree Team
