The Pros and Cons

Pros

• A very user-friendly platform supporting both novice and experienced crypto investors.
• Coinmama offers a wide range of cryptos that are amongst the most popular cryptos in the market.
• Supports the purchase of cryptos with multiple fiat money options to facilitate entry into the crypto world.
• There are no additional fees for the withdrawal of coins from Coinmama.
• Coinmama delivers coins within minutes of purchase. This particularly important in the volatile world of crypto.
• Users’ funds and cryptos are not held directly by Coinmama. This ensures that user assets are protected from theft.
• Rapid verification process.

Other positives include

• Strong emphasis on security as a crypto platform falling under the purview of FINCEN. Coinmama is the property of New Bit Ventures Ltd, which is a regulated Money Services Business licensed by FINCEN and IMPA.

Cons

• No advanced tools for trading Bitcoin and other cryptos.
• No call center for customer support. Coinmama does provide 24/7 email support, however.
• Coinmama only supports the sale of Bitcoin, and not the other Coinmama supported cryptos. Users may withdraw proceeds by bank transfer, or by credit or debit card. (Coinmama is planning to expand this beyond Bitcoin in the near-term, however).
• Relative to some of its peers, the number of cryptos on offer is on the lighter side. While this is the case, the most popular cryptos are available.
• Users must complete the verification process to buy and sell cryptos. This removes anonymity while protecting users.

Exchange Services, Supported Cryptocurrencies & Payment Methods

Coinmama provides an exchange to support the buying and selling of cryptos.

Cryptos offered on the Coinmama exchange include Bitcoin (“BTC”), Bitcoin Cash (“BCH”), Cardano’s ADA (“ADA”), EOS (“EOS”), Ethereum (“ETH”), Ethereum Classic (“ETC”), Litecoin (“LTC”), Qtum (“QTUM”), and, Tezos (“XTZ”).

The platform allows users to purchase crypto with fiat money. Users can either make purchases by credit or debit card or via fund transfers.
