Description
KCEX is widely described across Trustpilot and various third-party review platforms as a high-risk cryptocurrency exchange with a predominantly negative user reputation. On Trustpilot, the exchange holds a very low rating (around 1–1.5 out of 5), with the vast majority of reviews being one-star. The most frequent complaints involve frozen accounts, withdrawal delays or denials, “risk control” restrictions after profitable trades, and limited or unresponsive customer support. Several users also allege that bonuses or promotional rewards were revoked after meeting stated conditions. Scam-checking websites assign low trust scores and advise caution, while discussions on crypto forums and Reddit commonly warn about blocked funds and unclear compliance explanations. Although a small number of users report successful trading or withdrawals, the overall sentiment across independent sources is strongly negative, and many reviewers advise extreme caution before depositing funds.

Fees & tiers
Maker/Taker: — / —
Deposit fees policy
Crypto deposits: Free — KCEX does not charge fees on incoming cryptocurrency deposits. Users only pay the network (blockchain) gas/fee charged by the blockchain itself, not by KCEX. Fiat deposits: If available, KCEX may charge processing fees depending on the payment method (e.g., bank transfer or third-party payment provider fees). These fees are not fixed by the exchange, and users should check the specific method at the time of deposit.
Withdrawal fees policy
KCEX charges a fee on crypto withdrawals, which depends on the specific asset being withdrawn. These fees are typically fixed per currency (not percentage-based) and intended to cover blockchain network costs and service charges.
Fee notes
Deposit Fees No exchange fee on crypto deposits: KCEX does not charge any fee when you deposit cryptocurrencies. Only network fees apply: Users still pay standard blockchain miner/network fees — these fees are not set by KCEX. Fiat deposits (if available): May incur fees from payment processors or banks; these are third-party charges, not KCEX platform fees. Withdrawal Fees Fixed crypto withdrawal fees: KCEX charges fixed amounts per coin or token for withdrawals (e.g., 0.0005 BTC for Bitcoin). Not percentage-based: Fees are set in coin/token units, not as a percentage of the amount. Network fee included: The withdrawal fee typically includes the blockchain network cost plus the exchange service component. Varies by asset & network: Different blockchains (e.g., ERC-20 vs TRC-20) and assets have different fees. Subject to change: Fees may adjust due to network congestion or KCEX’s policy updates. Fiat withdrawals (if offered): May incur additional banking or third-party processor fees beyond the exchange’s base fee.
