Choosing a Bitcoin Exchange

Do not choose an exchange on price or advertising alone. Check who operates it, whether it serves UK customers, its current regulatory position, security arrangements, fees, withdrawal rules and customer support.

Before depositing money

Verify the legal entity and official website.
Check current UK regulatory information independently.
Understand all trading, spread, deposit and withdrawal charges.
Use strong account security and two-factor authentication.
Understand who controls the private keys while Bitcoin is held on the platform.
