For one thing it did answer all my questions to my satisfaction,
Most important is the security that they provided me to make sure I was not under pressure or under the influence of a third party

My account was suspended within a short period of establishing the account. I was informed I cannot deposit funds for a period of 3 months due to suspicious activity. I will close this account due to what I consider unethical practices by Kraken. It appears that they want use of my funds for 3 months while my account access has been suspended. Totally unacceptable. Kraken only provides AI help, nobody can explain why this has happened.

Hello, we understand how concerning this situation must feel.

Temporary restrictions can occur as part of security and compliance checks, and they don’t give us access to or use of your funds. We’re also here with real (human) specialists to assist.

If you have a ticket number, feel free to share it via our social channels or by updating your review so we can help look into this further.

Thanks for your feedback Jacek.

Converting between assets can include a spread for instant execution, which can make it feel more expensive 😕

If you’d like more control over pricing, you can use limit orders or explore other trading options in the app 👍

Feel free to reach out if you’d like help, we’re happy to guide you 🐙

Mid layout

Easy layout. Wish there was a prompted 1 minute video about all the icons. Abit confusing when moving from a easy to use layout

Great app, easy to start trading

Kraken makes it very easy to start watching the market and trading crypto/stocks while also providing fun perks like daily login rewards. Highly recommend for anyone interested in crypto even if you only want to test the waters with a small amount of money (I started with $10)

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.
