If you want to choose from a large number of altcoins, this exchange office is exactly right for you. It is a Czech platform that has been working smoothly since 2017. Its biggest advantages include its own stock exchange wallet, which outperforms its competitors in the Czech Republic, and a choice of more than 200 cryptocurrencies.
It is worth mentioning that you do not buy cryptocurrencies directly from CoinBank, it "only" mediates the transaction. It actually buys cryptocurrencies on world stock exchanges such as Binance, Kraken or Bittrex Coinbank Exchange has also operated an exchange since 2021 Coinbank Trader, which allows you to trade with other traders, however, the fees for this service are 1%, so compared to the competition they are very high.

Coinbank reviews
CoinBank is a Czech exchange office founded in 2017, with the help of which the company MipSoftware sro offers the exchange of cryptocurrencies to its Czech customers. The platform supports payments in crowns, dollars or euros, which you deposit into a merchant account by bank transfer. CoinBank does not support another payment method (except for deposit and withdrawal in cryptocurrencies).
Look no further for the CoinBank exchange office platform. It is a very simple, straightforward and pleasant user environment, where you can buy the cryptocurrencies you want without unnecessary. Even navigation in account settings and identity verification is absolutely simple, so it is also ideal for complete novices.
The strong point of the exchange office is therefore a simple web platform that does not need to be downloaded or installed. On the contrary, the disadvantage is worse exchange rates. For example, for Bitcoin, the spread between the purchase and sale price (spread) is relatively small (4.5 %), but for the cryptocurrency Ethereum it is almost 10 %.
Another great advantage is, of course, the Czech environment of online exchange and sending funds in the Czech Republic. Thus, the investor does not have to solve possible problems in foreign languages and does not have to worry about fees from his bank for conducting foreign transactions.
Coinbank fees
In terms of the fees themselves, CoinBank can be assessed very positively.
It is free:
- deposit of funds (CZK, EUR, USD, cryptocurrencies)
- purchase and sale of cryptocurrency
- withdrawal of funds in CZK and EUR
However, the fee is paid for the selection of cryptocurrencies and results from transaction costs on global cryptobourses, which CoinBank cannot influence. This fee is not a source of income and the amount is determined by the network.
However, what should interest every customer is the difference between the purchase and sale price of different cryptocurrencies. This is determined by the current offers on world stock exchanges used by CoinBank and the CoinBank margin. Trading is never and nowhere completely free.
You will always see the current spread of selected cryptocurrencies on the home page. This seems to be probably the biggest disadvantage of CoinBank, as the spreads are relatively high here, but by Czech standards it is more or less standard and perhaps it is also one of the more advantageous options that the domestic market offers.
For example, for the most well-known cryptocurrency (BTC), on the day of writing this review, the difference between the purchase and sale price was 4.5 %, and for the cryptocurrency Ethereum, the difference was already around 10 %. In particular, some altcoins have a rather high spread. For example, in Cardano, we are talking about more than 14 %s.

Account verification
If you deposit less than CZK 25,000 or the equivalent in another currency, including virtual ones (in the sum of deposits since the account was opened), to a client account in CoinBank, it is not necessary to verify your account. You can trade with invested funds without restrictions.
If you deposit funds in excess of the equivalent of US $ 100, you'll need to complete basic account verification (Level 1). Otherwise, the system will not allow you to resell or sell cryptocurrencies without verification. For this verification, it is necessary to upload copies of two identity documents and fill in the questionnaire. It is possible to use an identity card or a residence permit as the first document. As a second document, it is possible to upload a driver's license, passport or health insurance card. Finally, it is necessary to send a verification payment from a bank account held in the client's name. This payment must be accompanied by a message for the recipient as follows: “Verification of CoinBank.cz first name last name”. For this reason, the deposit made in the past is insufficient, as deposit payments are accompanied by another message for the beneficiary.
If you deposit funds in excess of the equivalent of CZK 375,000 in 30 days or CZK 1,000,000 since the account was opened, you must complete a higher level of verification (Level 2), where you must substantiate your claim about the source of the funds by providing a document, ie An oral or written statement asserted by the client is no longer sufficient. The system will alert you to the need for this verification and will not allow you to make another purchase or sale of cryptocurrencies. This verification may take longer to complete.

Fiat currency deposits are credited to the client's account immediately after the funds are credited to the platform's bank account, this is an automated process. CoinBank has bank accounts with Fio, Equa bank and Komerční banka. In the case of sending funds from the same bank or an immediate type of payment, the funds are usually credited within a few minutes or immediately. In the case of sending by the standard type of payment and from another bank, the crediting usually takes one working day.
Cryptocurrency deposits are performed in a standard manner. The Deposits and Withdrawals section lists all the cryptocurrencies that are on offer. Find the cryptocurrency you plan to insert in the table.

Payments are not sent immediately, so the money will be in your bank account within two business days at the latest. In most cases, however, by the end of the next working day. The duration depends on which bank you have an account with.
Cryptocurrency selections are subject to manual review, for security reasons. Therefore, cryptocurrencies are not sent at the moment of your order. The operator authorizes withdrawals to the target wallets during working hours approximately every two hours. Outside working hours, the intervals are longer.
You will be notified by email as soon as the operator places your cryptocurrency selection in the selection queue. Within 60 minutes, the process will be completed and you will receive a second email.
Safety

Závěrečné shrnutí
The exchange office is clear and simple, which is certainly appreciated by newcomers in the world of cryptocurrencies. For seasoned merchants, the company offers the Coinbank Trader trading platform, which unfortunately comes with higher fees. The big plus is the wide range of cryptocurrencies and the stock wallet. Coinbank is the right choice for those who want to invest here and there, and high spreads do not play a major role for them. However, if you want to actively trade, there will certainly be better and cheaper stock exchanges. |
