Likelihood to Recommend I think Coinbase is extremely suitable for people who are just starting to get into crypto-related activities. Based on how easy it is to use along with the brand recognition I think it offers beginners a better sense of security. Just like all trading platforms, it is extremely easy to get carried away as you only have to confirm your purchase twice and it goes through. It would not be very suitable for those who have little self-control.

Include Discover card transactions in the same deposit with the other cards. Take out fees immediately instead of waiting until the end of the month and doing a lump sum.

Read full review Support Rating I haven't needed to contact support for Coinbase yet—it's probably because it is super easy to use and very intuitive. If I were to use the support, it would probably be better than these other companies because most of the other ones come from foreign markets or aren't as big as Coinbase.

Read full review Alternatives Considered Coinbase is just better overall, with access to investments that can be traded for USD. As well as the crypto that can gain interest, Coinbase is amazing at educating the user along with providing real-time data, that allows the user to make the best decision they can when making this kind of risky investment. Coinbase takes the risk out of Crypto.

Salesforce which was a critical function that we needed, so we switched to iATS a little over 2 years ago once we implemented our
Salesforce database. We are currently in the process of switching to
Classy /
WePay for the added features and better field mapping capabilities.
Read full review Return on Investment It's saved time from figuring out how to buy and sell cryptocurrencies It makes monitoring market prices and fluctuations in the value of crypto holdings very easy and simple. Which also saves time. We don't do as high of volume so the lower transaction costs even though there is a slight premium saves us a lot of money in contrast to many of the exchanges that can charge 4-5+% transaction costs.
