    Anyone have experience with Gemini Exchange

    Totally fed up with coinbase. They literally stole money out of my bank acct and I can’t even get a response from them. Crazy how this can happen and it’s just businesses as usual there. Anyway I need help with a new exchange I’m just signed up for gemini

    Simply the best. I recently bought 2000$ worth of bitcoin and they only charged me something like 5$. Coinbase would take a lot more. Wire transfer took like 15-20 minutes and i saw money in my gemini account.

    You should contact them. Usually it's no more than 3 days.

    Don't worry. Gemini is one of the best exchanges. Much better than coinbase. Fees are amazing.

    not sure how they do it now as when I added a new bank recently it did instant verify right on line....BUT as long as you have a route# and Acct# that allows you to do ACH I would think there has to be a way as it worked for me few years ago....Even the bit pay card may work as it has that function but they charge a 15$ fee for procssing outgoing ones(free incoming) maybe call them ask....

    No. I have not been verified yet. I submitted the paperwork a little over 3 weeks now.

    If you're buying Bitcoin, use the Cash App. Basically instant purchase up to $10k/week (you deposit money into your account using your debit card, then use the funds to buy Bitcoin). The spread they charge is around 1.5% of market price. To withdraw the Bitcoin you have to upload a picture ID and selfie the first time you withdraw. Withdrawals for me lately process under 2 hours as long as its not late at night.

    They do not have an option to deposit Bitcoin into the app yet to sell, but have been told they are working on it. As for selling (assuming you want to avoid CB) I have itBit where I can deposit, sell for under 1% and ACH withdraw for free up to $2500, but have yet to use it so can't grade it. Never used Gemini since they denied my application back in August.

    Edit: Looks like Square Cash added Bitcoin withdrawal limits which is $2k/day and $5k/week (for my account at least, if it varies) which shouldn't be an issue for most.

    phillyhata1 - Gemini is Top Notch. Great choice. Been there for about a year now. Just use ACH with a chk acct. $500 Max a day to fund your acct. It will clear in 5 business days. Then purchase your BTC. Best buy and sell rate in my book.
