Please dont use them.

I've had an account for years, recently I've started to feel uneasy with the amounts of crypto I had in an international account and decided to put about 1-2% into my luno account and spend maybe 10% of that now on xmas plans.

Guess what, cant withdrawl the money from the Luno account.. surprise right?

As soon as I try withdraw, I'm met with screen that says "Sorry for the interruption. We couldn't complete that action."

You then contact the support which is an ill equipped AI. But it does do something right and logs a ticket for you pretty quickly.

BUT

you never get contacted by said "support"

like at all.. just automated generic mails of Thanks for getting in touch.

Then silence...

cant call them, nothing, tried multiple request tickets from the AI ( only way )

Need the money now for stuff as planned now stuck...

Cant check if bank addresses are correct or anything because you can only check that in the non existent withdrawal process ( apparently, thats what is listed in their website) which I never even get to that screen.

Thank God, I played it safe with just 1-2% being put into Luno but its still a big amount I'm losing to this and now have to search for another exchange ( again ) to withdraw into a S.A Fiat account ..

But I guess that's the game right?

Error out withdrawals so that clients are forced to rebuy crypto to move somewhere else and the company scores on all the transaction fees it charges (which are more expensive) ....
