kraken does not respond to its custumers

I opened up an account with kraken and purchased a $100 in Bitcoin I signed in with fingerprint,something went wrong I don't know what but I can't use fingerprint any longer and every time I change my password and then go to sign in your system tells me wrong password or username I know there both right mainly because I know which email I signed up with and I've wrote down every time I had to change the password because I can't sign in, I've put in a ticket and have not heard back from kraken,I have $100 in Bitcoin just sitting there, if there is activity on my account it's not me.it would be nice if I received a phone call or email but nothing yet.

Overall good but…

Overall good! However I am really sick of this five or seven day holding period to transfer my crypto (especially my Bittensor TAO) to my cold wallets. I get it… fraud and whatever else but damn man I have subnets I want to invest in and I am missing out because I have to sit on my hands for a week. I invest a very small amount every week or two not like it is tens of thousands of dollars or more just a hundred to a couple hundred or so and I have to wait and wait. I thought this crypto stuff was supposed to be better, stronger and faster. I’m not seeing it. Don’t worry though it is the same as you know with other exchanges so it is what it is. I am new to all this so if there is a solution to hasten this process please share. When I buy something with my bank card I don’t have to wait a week for my smokes and road beers. I get to walk out the door right then and there with my merch. This is my one and only complaint and maybe I speak from ignorance at this time because like I said I am new to this brave new world but still… how long till I gain a little trust and the freedom that comes along with it? Time is money right? You get that. Still I will continue investing because I am for now having a blast. Anyway thanks for reading my rant.
Have yourself a dandy day.

Have been waiting for a live agent or anyone to help me from the kraken team, but this one of the worest customer service l have ever experienced. I suggest we start a class action lawsuit.

Update:
They full of BS they just replied to me saying they will not help and can't help but post right after below saying they want me to reach out and see if l can help them. Lawsuit!

Very good transition of funds. I only wish that the cash limit was increased so as to be able to accomplish more on a daily limit.

Have had a withdrawal stuck for 5 days

Have had a withdrawal stuck for 5 days, the showing pending but there is no On Chain transaction ID so just stuck with Kraken. Customer service is shocking with no way to speak to anyone. I would not recommend anyone us Kraken, there are more reliable platforms available.

My experience has been seamless from start to finish with what ever transactions I perform. Fees are reasonable. If you’re trying to pack your bags like I am, the crypto prices seem to be a little lower. Security is good.

Zero Star applies to Kraken

If there was a zero star it would give it a zero ! Will definitely close my account and look for more reliable app ! Kraken is un reliable my crypto withdrawal is pending for more than 60h I have received no meaningful assistance, There is no available phone number or direct way to speak with a human agent. The in-app “AI assistant” is not resolving the issue and only repeats the same generic message without providing any actionable information. I sent them numerous emails with no response. Therefore, stay away from Kraken its unreliable, useless, they will steal your money !

Kraken is an excellent crypto exchange

Kraken has an easy-to-use interface, a wide range of cryptos and very thick liquidity.

Customer service is fast, friendly and knowledgeable too.
