According to Summer, a spokesperson for Kraken, the company prioritizes and invests heavily in security. However, this should not let one put their guard down.

They don’t mess around with that,” wrote a Kraken investor on Reddit. Another wrote, “Yo, shout out to Kraken, best customer service I had seen especially in crypto.”

When it comes to fees, many digital asset exchange platforms charge a hell of a lot of money as Trading fees. But trading fees of Kraken start from merely 0.26% and go as low as 0%. However, if a client is paying by a credit card/buying instantly, there are fees/spread applied with this.
