I was forcibly logged out of my account and have been trying to log back in with the correct credentials, but it keeps saying the info is wrong. Now, when I try to reset my password, the 2FA code isn't being accepted. This has happened before, and it took days to sort out. It's happening again, and I’ve got a pending transaction I need to get to. Can you guys do something about this, or should I start looking at other apps?

I'm encountering issues with verifying my identity to facilitate trading. Although I've submitted all required documents, the system keeps rejecting my ID verification. I've reached out to customer support via email, but haven't received a response yet. 😡😡😡 What make me get angry the most is that, none of their website are opening, I'm just sick tired of it

This platform is a failure. It can be easily hacked and that's what happened to me. My account was stolen and when I contacted customer service and after I verified my ownership of the account. They banned my account and made no attempt to return it to me. It's a failed application and failed customer service.
