Here is a screenshot of their own statements. - keep in mind I provide this detail just in-case if the shady exchange tries to remove it on their end to dodge a bullet. Now they can’t deny the fact. It clearly states “we may request additional data” if the threshold limit is exceeded and I clearly never went above the limit. - and so means that I should have never been asked for additional data to waste my time. Keep in mind I was already fully KYC’ed before using this platform.

WhiteBIT’s actions have wasted my time and caused unnecessary financial harm. Your unwillingness to take responsibility for these losses is highly unprofessional. I demand immediate compensation for the 425 USDT lost as a direct result of your delays. Should you fail to address this matter appropriately, I am prepared to escalate this issue publicly and pursue all legal avenues available.

ng transactions—not after the fact, when losses have already occurred. 4. Failure to Abide by User Agreement Timelines: You cite your right to pause withdrawals for up to 30 business days. However, the core issue here is the excessive time taken to process a withdrawal after KYC verification, especially when no new information or suspicious activity warranted such delays. This falls outside the scope of what should be considered reasonable and highlights a failure in your internal processes.

ld not have incurred this loss. The delay was solely due to WhiteBIT’s inefficient handling of the situation, not any action on my part. 3. Inadequate Communication and Transparency: You attempt to blame the method I chose for withdrawal (via FINCI) for the additional fees, yet this method was made available through your platform without any clear warning of the issues it could cause. It is your responsibility to ensure that users are well-informed of any risks or restrictions before processi

ory to your own terms, which state that further verification is not required for withdrawals below €12,977.5. This entire ordeal has been ongoing since September 30, and it is now October 24. A simple withdrawal should never take this long for a verified user. 2. Direct Losses Due to WhiteBIT’s Delays: Your delays directly caused the change in EUR/USDT exchange rates, which led to my loss of 425 USDT. If my withdrawal had been processed promptly, as expected from any reputable exchange, I wou

Your response is unacceptable and fails to address the core issue: the losses I suffered due to WhiteBIT’s delays and mismanagement of my withdrawal process. Let me be clear about why this situation is entirely your fault: 1. Prolonged Verification Despite Prior KYC Completion: I have been fully KYC-verified since June 22, 2024. Yet, when I initiated my withdrawal on September 30, 2024, you imposed additional verification requirements that delayed the process unnecessarily. This is contradict

My final answer WhiteBit is a scam denying to reimburse any lost funds during the process. I do not recommend anybody to trade on this platform. And can be classified as a big scam - they’re also illiquid of funds.

The issue is not resolved due to me losing 424$ in this process. Whitebit needs to cover the losses and give me my money back.

I am sharing my frustrating experience with WhiteBIT (https://whitebit.com/), which involves unreasonable KYC demands and a lack of transparency. Background: I attempted to withdraw €11,888, which is below their stated verification threshold of €12,977.5. WhiteBIT’s platform states that additional KYC is not needed below this limit. However, they have continually demanded extra documents, despite me fully complying with their initial KYC requirements. Issues: 1. Policy Inconsistency: • Despite my withdrawal being below the stated threshold, WhiteBIT has kept demanding more documents, contradicting their own policies.

2. Excessive KYC Requirements: • Even after submitting everything they asked for, including additional proof of income, my funds are still on hold. Their demands are becoming redundant and bureaucratic without a clear reason.

3. Deposit vs Withdrawal: • Deposits were processed with no issue, but the moment I tried to withdraw, they introduced unjustified demands. This feels like a bait-and-switch tactic.

4. Lack of Transparency: • I am left without any clear answers. Their responses are vague, delaying my access to my own money. Lack of Regulation: WhiteBIT is not registered with De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) or the VASP framework, which leaves users vulnerable due to a lack of regulatory oversight. Warning to Users: If you’re considering using WhiteBIT, be cautious. They are inconsistent, unregulated, and non-transparent. I recommend opting for a regulated exchange that respects user rights.
