I faced transferring funds from Binance to VALR using Binance Coin. It's important to approach such transactions cautiously. It seems my transfer didn't go as expected, and I can understand how frustrating that must be. Before transferring funds between platforms, it's crucial to do thorough research and consider any potential risks. Your experience highlights the importance of being cautious in the cryptocurrency space.

This app is less than decent. Got quite a decent number of tokens and coins, but their fees are outrageous. Like solana is normally cents to send coins around, but now they charge 0.0036 solana to make a transfer. Normally solana is way cheaper. So you can imagine the prices they charge. Maybe try LuNo if you want better fees. Use my Luno link if you want free R200 in BTC when you buy 500, PSVQY

The app is great, rates on trading is just very expensive. I will also like a better variety of meme coins like Floki etc. Now I must have a Binance wallet as well. Will be better for me to have VALR only.

Hi Normal, thank you for the review and providing your feedback. Please be known that the rates of any crypto is decided by the market itself and not VALR, what we provide is only a platform where the buyers and sellers can trade at the price they want to.
