Clients FAQ

Crypto Service Authority is an independent organization whose main goal is to fully assist in the resolution of disputes by an alternative non-judicial method. The company's actions apply to consumers/traders who have complaints against one of the financial service providers (members of the company). Crypto Service Authority has set itself the task of providing a new and actionable approach to solving any problems related to trading in the cryptocurrency market between participants.

Crypto Service Authority was not created for the purpose of regulating brokers and their activities and does not intend to do so in the future. The organization acts as an independent body to resolve disputes between traders and brokers using effective and transparent methods to obtain a peaceful result. We recommend that traders before filing a complaint, check the presence of their broker in our database, as well as its status in the financial regulatory authorities of their country.

The creation of a fair and neutral Committee, which will not depend on any of the parties to the dispute, is the main objective of the company. Such a Committee is able to facilitate the process of consideration of complaints and take decisions on them. Another advantage of the Committee is the fast procedure, unlike judicial or other industry regulators.

Each member is required to have a specific Complaints Contact and Dispute Resolution (IDR) procedure in accordance with Crypto Service Authority rules. The broker, in response to a complaint, should do the following:
  • Confirm customer complaint.
  • If possible, offer compensation to the client.
  • If the complaint is rejected, state the reason for such a broker’s decision.
The client, after passing the IDR procedure, has the right to file a formal complaint with Crypto Service Authority, in case of dissatisfaction with the result.

The company only accepts complaints from clients against those brokers who have a good reputation and are listed in our database of brokers at the time the dispute is filed. Assistance cannot be provided if the broker is no longer a member of the Crypto Service Authority or its status is under “review”. In this case, you should seek help in resolving the dispute with the appropriate regulatory body in your country.
