Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I initiated a withdrawal of XXXX BTC out of my BTC Vault ( held in " cold storage '' by Coinbase.com ) to my BTC Wallet. This requires " multi-factor authentication '' that requires me to initiate the withdrawal after logging into my account, to confirm via an SMS code, clicking through an authentication link on my personal email, and clicking through an authentication link on my work email address. Due to me no longer being employed with my current firm, I no longer have access to work email address. Coinbase.com does not allow for the secondary email to be changed. After XXXX emails and a number of support tickets through XX/XX/XXXX, submitted by me to Coinbase, Coinbase has not responded with the exception of automated emails. The automated emails do not provide resolution and are redundant.

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2017, I sent XXXX ETH from XXXX to coinbase using the correct wallet identification given to me from coinbase. The transaction has been confirmed on XXXX many times, however, no pending transaction showed up like it should on my account and my XXXX never showed in my wallet. I waited a couple days to see if it would show up eventually to no avail. So I sent a support ticket in, waited 5 days and got no response, so I sent another ticket in. The next day, I got a generic response that did n't help my situation at all but said if I needed help further, I could email them back so I did and have n't received an email back yet. I have sent 5 more support tickets in since and have gotten no responses.

Consumer Complaint: Hello OnXX/XX/XXXX I initiated a wire transfer to Coinbase.com to from my XXXX bank account. The amount of the wire transfer was {$7000.00} to be deposited into my coinbase account within 2 days. On XX/XX/XXXXI received an email saying : " You recently sent a wire to fund your Coinbase or GDAX account for {$7000.00} USD. Unfortunately, we are not able to apply this wire to your account due to a name mismatch and will be returning this wire back to your bank. Please allow us XXXX business days for processing. '' I was very frustrated as the owner names on both accounts are the same and Coinbase prefilled the information I needed to give my financial institution. I waited 7 days for this to process and finally contacted them on XX/XX/XXXX as no money was received. They instructed me to go to a certain form which led me right back to where I was in the first place to fill out information ... I gave them ALL reference numbers, bank wire numbers, FED reference numbers and they have gone silent. This money is very important to me and something I need to rely on. Thank you

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX I attempted to withdraw {$9000.00} U.S. from my CoinBase account to deposit to my bank account. There seemed to be issues with the CoinBase website. ( As usual. ) I had a problem getting a confirmation so I attempted the transaction a total of three times. On the third attempt it seemed to go through. I then received a confirmation that my funds would be deposited into my bank account on XXXX XXXX. Today is XXXX XXXX and my funds have yet to be deposited into my bank account and they no longer show as existing in my CoinBase account either. I received notice that my first two attempts had been canceled but that my third attempt was confirmed. My account on CoinBase shows my {$9000.00} transaction to be " PENDING '' to this day. However, on XXXX XXXX I attempted to withdraw {$1000.00} U.S. to my bank account from Coinbase and those funds were deposited and available within two days. **This proves without a doubt that there is no issue with my bank, my routing or my bank account. ** I have spoken with my bank and they have NOT received any attempt at a transaction on or since XXXX XXXX for a {$9000.00} transaction. ( Only the XXXX XXXX transaction for {$1000.00}. ) I have contacted CoinBase by submitting a support ticket and I have called their phone support. All they will tell me is that my case has been " escalated '' but that I should not submit another support ticket, email them or call them again because that puts me at the end of the resolution line. ( And apparently that line is long! ) What a great way to scam people and withhold their money by telling them if they inquire as to where there money is that they will have to wait longer to get their money!! They also sent me a link to my support ticket that does not exist! It only goes to their standard support ticket page but does not show any relevant information concerning my actual case. If they ca n't provide accurate and timely transactions or resolutions then they do n't need to be allowed the responsibility of people 's money!

Consumer Complaint: I requested two SEPA Euro withdrawals from Coinbase/XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX for the amounts of XXXX Euros on XXXX and XXXX Euros on the XXXX. SEPA tranfers should normally tak 1-2 business days but I am still waiting for the money to credit my XXXX account. I have sent countless support reuqests to XXXX and Coinbase ( they are the same company but XXXX is their more 'professional ' exchange and Coinbase is their simple front end interface ) I have nothing back from their support function apart from auto response emails. I believe this problem is wide spread as there are lots of Coinbase/XXXX customers saying similar things. The interesting this is the higher withdrawal amounts do n't seem to get processed. I have made SEPA transfer from Coinbase after the XXXX for smaller amounts which have been processed ... But the two larger payments made on the XXXX and XXXX have not been processed. So it seems Coinbase/XXXX are deliberately hanging on to the larger deposits ...

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I initiated a transfer from some money I had in " My Vault '' in Coinbase into my Coinbase wallet. There is a 48 hour waiting period for such a transfer but I had noticed the transaction remained pending 4 days later. Therefore I emailed them on the XX/XX/XXXX wondering why this resolution has not been fixed. I got a response from a bot from the inquiry that was not satisfactory. I then emailed them on the XX/XX/XXXX and again on the XX/XX/XXXX. To no avail, I have not received a response still. I canceled this transfer and initiated the same transfer on the XX/XX/XXXX. It is currently XX/XX/XXXX and again more than 48 hours have gone by.

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2017, I executed a wire transfer deposit from my bank account at XXXX to Coinbase, Inc. in the amount of {$50000.00}. Coinbase states " Bank wires often arrive the same business day if sent before the cut off time for your bank, otherwise they will arrive the following business day. '' I still have n't received the money in the Coinbase account. After numerous attempts to engage their web-based support portal, all I got was a few automated or completely meaningless responses with no resolution in sight.

Consumer Complaint: Financial organization : CoinBase Through Coinbase exchange I purchased a Bitcoin from coinbase in fractions over time. When I had XXXX Bitcoin I put that bitcoin in Coinbase Vault for safety. While creating the safe I was told that it will take 2 days for a withdrawal ifwhen needed and involves approval from 2 parties ( primary and secondary ). Approval is gained by sending the email to both parties. Once the parties approve the email the extraction process starts and finishes in 2 days. When i actually tired withdrawing my Bitcoin the verification email did n't come to the registered secondary approver 'S email ( of my husband ) and hence the process did n't even start. All other emails from Coinbase arrive just fine ; Only the vault approval emails are not received. I 've tried all the steps suggested by their chat bot but it did n't resolve the issue. Tried this process many a times but I get the email for approval but the secondary approver does n't. Email address is correct as all other emails from coinbase come to both addresses just fine. I 've filed numerous ( 3-4 ) complains starting XXXX XXXX to coinbase and every time I get the acknowledgement of the complain but no action is done. I 've also wasted many hours on phone at their support line but never got to talk to actual person. My husband did some research and learnt that they time to time blacklist email accounts and hence the emails are never delivered. XXXX XXXX : He filed a few request to fix the email issue but to no avail. After filing the complain all we get is an acknowledgement and some pre-canned text to try self-help steps. Tried all, none worked. Initially it was frustrating but now it 's getting depressing to not able to withdraw my on funds. Coinbase charges a very high fee ( highest among all exchanges ) to give services but is worst in customer service. To me it costed hundreds of dollars in fee alone. You will find numerous Coinbase related issues on XXXX and other forums. I truly regret going to Coinbase. Kindly help me to resolve my issues. Once my issue is resolved I 'll close my coinbase account. I 'll be happy to provide any more information as needed.XXXX
