Top 6 Factors To Consider When Choosing A Crypto Platform
As cryptocurrency and blockchain technology improves and widespread adoption increases, more and more people find themselves questioning what platform to use. With so many choices out there, how do you know which service is best for your needs? Here are the top 6 factors to consider when choosing a crypto platform so you can buy crypto in NZ.
1. Security
It’s essential to make sure you’re dealing with a trusted and secure crypto platform. Do some digging to find out who’s behind the platform, the security features they have in place, and whether their name has been associated with any attempted scams or hacks.

2. Cryptocurrencies on Offer
Which cryptocurrencies does the platform have available? Is it just bitcoin or can you buy a wide range of altcoins too? Are you able to pay using NZD or do they only accept foreign currencies or crypto? Are you able to sell your crypto to them for NZD? If yes, how does this process work?
3. Verification Process and Regulation
What sort of personal details and ID documents are required before you are granted an account? How long does the verification process typically take? What legal and regulatory compliance practices are in place? You may find that platforms with little to no verification requirements are less secure.

4. Reputation and Community
What sort of reputation does the platform have? It’s always a good idea to check out user reviews to see what others think. Do they encourage an active online community, have, and actively use, social networks? Do they work to build a relationship with their customers or are you just another number to them?
5. Transaction Limits and Processing Times
What are the minimum and maximum amounts you can spend in one transaction? Day? Month? After paying for an order, how long does it usually take to receive your coins? Does the platform act as a custodian and hold your coins, or do you have full control of your funds yourself?
6. Customer Support
Does this platform offer ongoing help and support? How can you get in touch with their customer support team? Do they provide helpful information free of charge or do you need to pay for it?
At the end of the day, it all boils down to performing your due diligence. Work out which crypto provider best meets your requirements. At BitPrime, we believe that we meet and exceed the recommendations above.
