The price of crypto assets may fluctuate due to changes in the balance of supply and demand and other factors, which may result in losses.
Fees and other charges may apply to crypto asset and related transactions. For details on fees and other charges, see this page.
To engage in over-the-counter crypto asset derivative transactions, you must provide a margin deposit. For details on the required margin deposit, its calculation method, the applicable margin rate, and other margin-related information, see this page.
Over-the-counter crypto asset derivative transactions let you trade amounts exceeding your margin deposit with a small amount of funds. However, rapid price fluctuations of crypto assets and other factors may cause losses exceeding your margin deposit within a short period.
In over-the-counter crypto asset derivative transactions, factors such as sudden price movements or the execution of a loss-cut may result in a trade being executed at a price or under conditions different from those you anticipated at the time of your order, or may result in a trade not being executed at all.

Ratings and reviews

Very few coins. Spreads are outrageously expensive. Transferring to other wallets are limited. All coins except eth and btc don't have an order book. App isn't intuitive. They shut down at times for maintenance. The amount they charge without a transparent order book should be illegal because you aren't trading against other traders. You're paying ridiculously high spreads so they can buy it on another order book and sell it to you for a significantly higher price.

Just an awful app with really awful customer service. I've followed all the instructions and uploaded my identification multiple times, and it won't register. I also inputted all data and they remove it and ask me to type in again. The customer service aren't helpful in solving this problem and try to avoid it. Go to other apps out there. MUCH more reliable and quick service.

One of the worst apps in terms of logics. My first account got banned without any notification or explanation before it got verified using Quick Verification. For the 2nd account I chose to go with in-person verification. A person came, I showed my ID, he said all was fine and left. Then I received an email from bitFlyer telling me that in-person verification wasn't valid for some reason. They told me to try Quick Verification again which isn't working anymore in my device.
