Simple and Fast Transactions

I've been using Shakepay for about six months now and really appreciate how quickly I can buy and sell Bitcoin with CAD. The instant transfers feature is a big deal, especially when prices fluctuate fast. Customer support helped me sort a small verification glitch in under an hour, which was impressive.

Mixed feelings on fees and support

Started with Shakepay because it seemed straightforward and good for Canadian dollar users. The platform itself runs okay but I sometimes catch their fees sneaking higher than expected on certain trades. Support is slow compared to other exchanges I use, and their app UI can get laggy during busy hours. I keep it as a secondary wallet, not my main crypto place.

Reliable and User-Friendly for Canadians

I’ve been trading with Shakepay for over a year now and they rarely disappoint. What stands out is the instant CAD funding which lets me act fast on market moves without worrying about bank delays. Their app feels intuitive, even for someone like me who’s not a crypto expert. Plus, the support team is quick to respond and helpful whenever I have questions. Definitely worth trying if you’re in Canada.

Great for Canadian Crypto Buyers

What I like most about Shakepay is the low fees on CAD transactions and the clean, easy-to-use mobile app. I transferred some funds last week and they were available instantly for trading. The staking option for holding crypto long-term is a nice bonus too.

Mostly Good but App Needs Improvement

Shakepay's rates are great and the deposits go through quickly. However, their app crashed a couple of times when I tried to check my portfolio balance. Support was polite and responsive though, so that's a plus.

Convenient with Minor Glitches

I appreciate that Shakepay lets me buy crypto right from my phone without complicated steps. The only hiccup was a delay in confirming my Canadian dollar deposit which pushed back my first trade. Aside from that, I've mostly been happy using them.

Frustrating KYC Experience but Decent Platform

I signed up hoping for a smooth start but had to go through a lengthy KYC process that took almost two weeks with multiple document resubmissions. Once verified, trading was straightforward and the app interface is quite user-friendly. I did notice some small delays when I initiated a withdrawal which was concerning but it was resolved after contacting support. The price quotes sometimes have a small spread, which is annoying for active traders like me. Still, the ability to quickly switch between CAD and crypto assets makes it worth sticking around.
