Transferred money from Revolut to Coinbase Monday and still not arrived (usually takes one day).
Withdrew money from Coinbase to Revolut also on Monday and still not arrived
Both transactions state successful/completed
Huge number of users out there getting shafted at the moment. No customer support service or public recognition of problems they are facing.
Avoid if you can

That's correct, use GDAX--or if you're like me and the insider trading Bcash bruhaha ruined your trust in the site then give Gemini a try. Haven't switched any assets over yet but I've heard good things.

What are the best overall alternatives to GDAX/Coinbase for US based customers?

Coinbase is shit. I had to get a fucking lawyer involved for them to unblock my account. Bunch of cunts.

Kraken is super congested now. Last month 90% of transactions didn't go through. Better use gemini to get the BTC and then move them to an exchange with more alt coins, such as binance and bittrex.

Wish I found threads like this before jumping in last week. For anyone else wondering what's decent, I'd recommend:
1) Create GDAX account and send them a pic of your ID, front and back at night (midnight PST works best)
2) Link your bank account to your GDAX account and send USD into your GDAX wallet.
3) Wait a full week for the balance to arrive to your account
4) Wait for a dip in prices and use the funds from your GDAX USD wallet to grab btc, ltc, eth, or bch because it will be instant
5) Thank me later

What would be a good alternative for Canada? I'd like to buy Monero as well but i can use a exchange for that if necessary.

I'm using bitfinex. Send my coins from coinbase. Though I hear binance has more options.

BitPanda is better and cheaper than GDAX for euro customers

I've been using Coinbase so far because I have not found any other alternative, but their fees and problems with verifying bank accounts are pretty annoying.

Just wanted to bump with my own "Fuck coinbase". Initiated a wire transfer on 12/15 and still haven't gotten it yet. They say it can take up to 10 business days, it's been like 13. I work in tech support and love my job and I know what these guys on the phones go through, but I must have opened 2 or 3 tickets simply asking them for a status update or whether they at least saw the request pending or had my money at all...every-time I got back articles on the steps for withdrawing money via email. Also, upgrade your fucking infrastructure how did you not see this coming.
Anyways, I finally called them and told them "I think my account is compromised because I can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone about where my money is". Guy said he would "escalate it" and now it's back to e-mail.
Fuck Coinbase.
