Location

The very first thing you need to consider in looking for a good cryptocurrency exchange is its location.  You have to find which exchange is available from where you live.

Reputation

This is another very important thing to consider.  You want to know who you’re dealing with. You don’t want to entrust a large sum of your money to some person you don’t know anything about, or who is a total stranger.

As much as you can try to find how the exchange looks for many other investors.  If possible, go the extra mile and try to know who owns and manages the exchange and where they are located.  Equally importantly, check if the exchange follows the Know Your Customer policy and if it has anti-money laundering rules, which should be there to prevent criminals from using the exchange for criminal ends.

Customizable

Every kind of exchange offer the most basic functions like buying, selling, and checking prices, among others.  These are the things you should expect to find in any exchange.

And for the exchange to be really trusted and worthwhile, it should be customizable and flexible so that it can suit your needs.

Information
