Company details

  1. Cryptocurrency Service

Written by the company

We are a Spanish company, which since 2015, has a very clear mission: to democratize access to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies worldwide. Therefore, we have developed several solutions to simplify the purchase of Bitcoin and other cryptos respecting the highest security standards: - Bitnovo APP (available on App Store and Google Play) with integrated self-custody wallet. - Bitnovo coupons redeemable for cryptocurrencies available in more than 40,000 physical stores across Europe (e.g. Worten or Fnac). - Bitnovo network of cryptocurrency ATMs. In addition, unlike many exchanges, Bitnovo does NOT and does NOT want to keep the cryptocurrencies of our customers. As the famous phrase goes: "Not your keys, not your Bitcoins", which means that if you don't have access to your private keys (12/24 words), and you leave them to an exchange, you are not the true owner of your cryptocurrencies. Thanks for following and supporting us! www.bitnovo.com

My I got lucky but all good this time

I feel I need to write this review due to all the bad ones here. I just had my first purchase and yes the process was long, email back a SMS code and only accepting passport as ID, but I had all documents and received the amount of XMR as expected. Whole process under an hour. Maybe I just got lucky, I probably won't use again due to older reviews but everything worked well for me on this attempt

Worst place to buy crypto

If it could give -5 stars I would.
I buy bitcoins for a value of almost 1000 euros.
Verification of documents takes place AFTER payment.
The verification of the identity document is fine but you must also check the card by sending a photo where only the last 4 digits are visible.
I have sent this photo 6 times and they say that they have not received it and they ignore any other emails by sending messages asking me for the photo of the card ....
Stay away

2 weeks and still they did not refund me..

Update 29 days after: now they avoid my emails.
Today is saturday, monday i'm gonna press charges.

They stole my money

They stole my money! Do not use. I deposited 100 euro on my account with Bitnovo Gift card later my account is $0. They took the money out of my account plus fee so I messaged customer service they required verification, I sent my documents, selfie and they rejected immediately without mentioning any reason

LEGIT ! - Scam

Lets you buy crypto then asks for ID before releasing it at which point their system can not recognise your ID. Lovely scam when you pay 10 euro + 4% for refunds - Avoid - plenty of others that actually work

support worker called Martin i would rate him 0 out of 10 !! made me lose all my time from 8 am to 8 pm for a transaction that should be made in max 2 hours..

But the worker called Louis was very fast and friendly. I rate him 10 out of 10. Be carefull who you choose in support please. Unsatisfied client doenst have the tendency to come back. And it would be shamefull to lose a client like me just for a guy that cannot do his job like Martin ...

Soso

Soso. I bought cryptos with my credit card about 10 times or more from the 100 to 3000 euros, there was not a big problem. But the process was not that good. There were some delays of sending. Sometimes they never noticed before I get touch by email even something is going wrong. (ID verification) But finally, I got my cryptos well with low cost of credit card payment fee. I do not recommend here, but it is not a scam.

Reject your ID and hang on to your cash

ID you after purchase and charging your card, refuse to send you your Crypto due to 'problems' with your ID and then they just hang onto your cash saying they might refund you over the next month or so and even if you do get a refund they will deduct a 4% (min 10€) fee.

They sent the cryptocurrency for the…

They sent the cryptocurrency for the vouchers with no problem. Bitnovo vouchers are safe, but the problem is the huge fees. First, where we bought the voucher, we were charged 2.5 euros for a voucher of 50 euros. Then bitnovo takes a commission regardless of the amount of the voucher, it is huge and reaches almost 40% of the value of the voucher in different cryptocurrencies. I can't recommend this service, it's not even an exchange office, but a predatory one. To take a commission of at least 20% from 50 euros is of course cool guys! For vouchers of 25 euros, the commission reaches almost 50%!!!!

I got what i payed for ,but the process whit the identification after you payed is a bad way to go.
Nobody wants to pay thousands of euro upfront, and then go thru a process of an identifikation that maybe will fail.
The right way is to identify yourself first and then pay .
I am happy that everything got well this time, but i will not take that risk again.
I sent an email whit a question and as everybody say, they dont answer.
Be careful whit this guys, it seems that only a few get what they payed for, and you have no security that the next buy will come thrugh.
Have a nice day everybody, and stay away from Bitnovo if you can.

Bitnovo won't refund you without ID.

I highly do not recommend BitNovo if you do not have valid identification. I do not have valid ID as my passport expired and have not yet renewed it (due to Brexit and Covid).

Regardless, they don't tell you this until AFTER you've paid, but they also won't cancel or refund you without valid ID apparently because of 'Fraud' or whatever, which is ironic because that in itself is fraudulant. So instead I highly recommend you just buy from somewhere else. Under no circumstances should you buy it from Bitnovo. Bitnovo sucks. ONE MILLION YEARS DUNGEON!

Id point you in the right direction but they keep flagging my review as 'advertising', avoid them at all costs.

SUPPORT SERVICE AT THE TOP

I live in France and I am a Bitnovo client. Few months ago I had an issue with a transfer of cryptocurrency. I contacted the Bitnovo SUPPORT and they immediately answered me. I waited for few weeks for them to solve my issue but in the end everything was done. I really recommend BITNOVO and its SUPPORT SERVICE. I could not have solved that situation without their help. Trust up on their SUPPORT SERVICE. Thank You Again.
