Improve Passport KYC Verification Instructions

I would like to provide feedback regarding the passport verification process. The KYC form requires “backside” image, but standard passport does not have a conventional backside containing Identity information like National Identity Card. The passport’s biographical details are on the main page, while the outside back cover might be blank or contain only administrative information. Please consider updating the verification flow to distinguish passport from two-sided ID cards, or provide a clear guidance on what passport holders should upload in the backside field. This would reduce unnecessary KYC rejections and make the process clearer for users.

Grid bot earned 1.4% while I was at work

0.1% spot fee got a little lighter because I registered with LCNXHC, and the mystery box on my first deposit had a few USDT in it, which I used to seed a test grid. IT contractor in Melbourne, in crypto since 2017, on this app for about a year. Onboarding took roughly 25 minutes from download to first deposit including the ID check. No AUD rails, so I buy USDT on a local exchange with PayID and send it across; TRC20 lands in ten minutes. The grid bot is why I stay: an ETH/USDT grid between 3100 and 3300 caught roughly 1.4% last week while I was buried in a client sprint, and the bot screen on iPhone shows each filled grid line 📈 Perpetuals are there if you want them; I keep to spot and small

Most exceedingly remarkable and extremely exceptional cryptocurrency recovery technology expertises

I need to share this in here so you won't lose your money cheaply to scam brokers. I invested about $123,050 on a binary option platform then I decideo to withdraw after several weeks but the withdrawal wasn't successtul, then I tried to contact the platform via email and phone number, ! didn't get a response from them that was when everything started looking weird. Some weeks later I got a mail from them insisting I should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which I rejected, and! never hear from them again that was when I knew I had been scammed. I was really devastated at those moment and felt so bad that my hard earned money was gone. After some months I came across a lot of

Trading that feels transparent 👀

I use BingX when I want to trade but also keep it simple and controlled. Code LCNXHC gives a discount on trading commission + a mystery box (up to 200 USDT) after first deposit. What feels “real” here is Copy Trading: you can see trader history, drawdowns, and set your own rules (allocation, stop copying, etc.) instead of blindly following. The app is light, charts load fast, and position management is quick. Wish: add a clearer “fees + funding” preview before confirming and improve P2P filtering labels for Gulf users.

This broker is a scam

This broker is a complete scam. They manipulate stop losses, and whenever you have a trade in high profit, the app suddenly freezes and you can’t close the position. On top of that, their fees per trade are extremely expensive. Stay away from this platform — it’s unsafe, unprofessional, and designed to make you lose money.

Terrible customer service

Customer service very unhelpful. Blocked my account and asked me to submit a video with my ID. I did it and they said it was not the correct ID but would not tell me what ID is required. So I uploaded videos with all my ID documents and they are still refusing to unblock my account. Your KYC documents are not visible through the app . Customer service utterly bad.

What the internet says

Across the sources reviewed for roughly April–October 2026, BingX feedback is mixed: app users and some independent reviews praise usability, while many recent Trustpilot complaints focus on restricted withdrawals, account reviews and slow or generic support. These are reported user experiences, not verified findings; the sources provide little consistent recent evidence about fee levels or KYC as a general policy.

+
  • Some Google Play reviewers praise the interface as smooth, clean and user-friendly.
  • Some independent reviews describe support as responsive for routine questions, though complex cases receive less favorable comments.
  • Austria’s financial regulator authorized BingX’s European subsidiary under MiCA in October 2026, according to crypto-media reports.
−
  • On Trustpilot, the most common recent complaints are withdrawals blocked or funds held during account/risk reviews, lengthy or unclear KYC and source-of-funds checks, and support replies users describe as generic or slow. Some reviewers also allege unexplained deductions, bonus disputes, trading-execution problems, or unresolved fiat/P2P transfers; these are user claims, not independently verified findings.
  • Feedback is mixed across platforms: Google Play reviews include praise for a clean, user-friendly interface, alongside complaints about lag and unwanted app complexity. Recent App Store sentiment could not be established from the sources retrieved; review aggregators report high app-store ratings, but give varying figures.
  • Crypto media reported BingX received an Austrian MiCA authorization in October 2026, while reporting also said Kazakhstan’s AIFC court restricted BingX’s unlicensed services in its jurisdiction. The widely reported BingX hot-wallet theft was in September 2024; the sources reviewed did not establish a new BingX hack in the six-month period covered.

How we score
  1. Licences · 25 points. Where the exchange is legal: licences and registrations from regulators' registers, minus bans and fines.
  2. Reserves · 20 points. Proof of reserves: is there one, who checked it, how fresh it is and whether coins cover every client balance.
  3. Security · 15 points. Past hacks and whether clients were made whole, the insurance fund.
  4. Liquidity · 15 points. Real BTC order-book depth within ±2% and futures open interest.

  6. Opinion leaders · 10 points. What the opinion leaders from our Sentiment page write about it: the share of complaints among mentions over 90 days.
  7. API reliability · 5 points. Our own check: does the exchange API answer, over 30 days.

Licences: a full licence in the EU (MiCA), UK, US, UAE, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Canada, Korea, Australia or Switzerland gives 5 points, a full licence elsewhere 3, a registration (such as FinCEN or AUSTRAC) 1.5, an application or in-principle approval 0.5. Each country counts its best entry, and only if confirmed in the regulator's register. Every regulator ban, fine or warning in the last 3 years costs 2 points, at most 8 in total.

Reserves: a published proof of reserves gives 4 points; zk proof 6, audited Merkle tree or audited filings of a listed company 4, unaudited tree 2; a snapshot under 45 days old 4, under 90 days 2; the lowest coverage among BTC, ETH, USDT and USDC at 100%+ gives 6, at 95%+ gives 3.

Security: 10 points minus 2 for each hack where clients were made whole and minus 6 where they were not; hacks older than 5 years count half. Plus 5 if the insurance fund can be checked via API or on-chain, 3 if the exchange only publishes the amount.
