Introduction

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Coinmotion is a Finland based broker offering online traders an easy and convenient way to store, buy and sell bitcoin, while it also offers fast SEPA payment processing. Coinmotion is operated by @prasosltd, a leading Nordic broker founded in 2012, which also operates @Technom4ge, @DenariumBitcoin and @Bittirahafi, provides online bitcoin services over the past six years. No licensing details can be found on the website, or any of the social media sites used by Coinmotion including Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

The Finnish broker basically serves as the middleman during the trading process taking place between major international cryptocurrency exchanges and its registered clients, which get to instantly sell or purchase Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin for fiat currencies. The Coinmotion services are offered to traders in Switzerland, EEA and EU countries. Currently, all trading takes place in bitcoin, while members can also use the wallet service by Coinmotion for transferring and storing bitcoins.

Coinmotion registered members can use four different ways to deposit and also offer pre-approved deposits. The company does charge a fairly high fee of 2% and services are not anonymous as Coinmotion requires new members to provide both proof of residence and a copy of their government issued identification. As with several other smaller exchanges, Coinmotion had bank account problems that resulted in its account being closed by one major bank in Finland. This could be an underlying reason why the online broker is interested in partnering with other investors or partners.
