GBJust no... I opened an account here, but never deposited. Now they continue to spam me with emails about their bankruptcy proceedings, and makes me wonder if they included my name in the court filing for the people they owe... like I don't wanna be involved in that. I got real lucky, since I was planning a deposit for their high advertised returns on stable coin lending, but they went down before I went through with it.

GBBlockFi Pisses Your Money Away BlockFi uses arcane nuances in their agreements to rip off customers. I've discovered the BlockFi charge card is all of a sudden, not a BlockFi product. That is, BlockFi can freeze my crypto balances (code for stealing them?) but still insist I pay them for purchases charged to the BlockFi card. At a minimum, they should apply my crypto balance to my card payment. DO NOT do business with this dishonest firm that has mismanaged its finances and will make you pay for their recklessness.

SGVERY expensive withdrawal I noticed that the withdrawal fee for many cryptocurrencies are about $50 USD, such as GUSD, PAX, USDT, USDC. It's free to add money but withdrawals are way too expensive. Fiat minimum withdrawal is also $10,000 which is too high and the advertising on their website does not mention all this. Not great, especially when the minimum deposit is just $100. This was not detailed very clearly when we signed up, so you need to be careful. Even free withdrawals have some form of transaction fee tied to them, even though I've not initiated any other transactions in that calendar month.

GBBlockFi is more of a bank than a crypto company - weigh your needs carefully before signing up Overall the onboarding process was pretty simple. They use Plaid for banking verification, which can be problematic (although has improved over time). Yields are good on stablecoins. IR is fairly responsive, albeit utterly unable to think creatively. But, I ended up pulling my funds from BF for the following reasons: 1) OUTBOUND wallet-to-wallet transfers take up to 5 days. BF claims the delay is for security purposes. This 'friction' not only is terribly frustrating but more so just goes against the whole spirit of crypto. This became the proverbial 'final straw' for me. 2) unnecessary and long holds are placed on, both, wallet transfers of stablecoin INTO BF and for ACH transfers of USD. Again, anomlyous to the spirit of crypto. 3) only a handful of coins offered. Net net..BlockFi operates more like a bank (without any FDIC protection) rather than a crypto company. And, we shall see how long they can support the yield.

GBThey make it impossible to get your… They make it impossible to get your money back with their verify your identity scam. Their customer service is very poor. This is the worst company I have ever been associated with.
