Coincheck

Coincheck began operations in August 2014. Its founders are Koichiro Wada and Yusuke Otsuka. The main office of the company is located in Tokyo. The exchange is a member of the Japanese blockchain association and together with the government of the country is developing standards for the bitcoin community. In September of this year, the site received a license to conduct exchange activities from the financial bureau of Japan. Coincheck is a convenient two-in-one solution. In addition to the exchange for the purchase and sale of cryptocurrency, the service also offers a convenient wallet for storing digital coins. In August 2017, the company created an investment fund that intends to support startups in the blockchain industry. Its initial size was about 450 thousand dollars. In the future, the exchange team plans to increase this amount. Coincheck has its own affiliate program. Users who attract new customers to the exchange are paid a reward. To do this, you need to add an exchange banner to your page in social networks, website or blog. You will receive access to all features of the service only after passing the verification procedure. At the first stage, you will need to confirm the phone number using the code that comes by SMS. After that, it is necessary to fill in the form with personal data and download supporting documents in order to verify your identity. The main factors that are responsible for the security of the service are cold storage of funds, which is working offline, and two-factor authorization. Cold wallets are also located in different places, and therefore customer funds are completely safe, even if something happens to one of them.
