I'am a bit wary of trying this out since there is no mention of Hitbtc in the payment info ,I added them to my payee list but do not want to pull the trigger till I see some feedback from others that have experience with them .


Be Careful

This is getting to be a joke. When someone comes to me and says "how do we open a successful exchange", the first thing I say is "Put your damn name on the site with a legal corporation and you are already the top 5 exchanges without any volume"
This is what I get from my research:

“HITBTC” was founded by “Ullus Corporation”. The company was incorporated in 2013 and claims to be licensed as a financial company. Operating accounts were opened in “SWED Bank” and “SEB Bank”. Swedbank AB is a Nordic-Baltic banking group offering retail banking, asset management, financial, and other services with Stockholm. The latter Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB is also a Nordic bank Its activities comprise mainly banking services, but SEB also carries out significant life insurance operations and also owns Eurocard.

Ullus Corporation's website is down (ulluscorp.com), but looking at a cached version of the site it says "The company’s headquarters, since its inception, are located in Hong-Kong" and also repeatedly talk about their Financial License, but don't say from which country. (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.ulluscorp.com/)
This is where it get's interesting, the company also registered CatPay.com which is some sort of a Bitcoin wallet. Both domains are now under private registration and try to not be connected to each other. CatPay's customer service line is in Estonia.
Both of those domains are owned by ulluscorp.com which has been taken down. You can easily get RAW versions of the old Whois file on the registration

ulluscorp.com (http://domainsigma.com/whois/ulluscorp.com) Registrant Name: Ricardo Singh Registrant Organization: ULLUS CORPORATION Registrant Street: Ricardo J.

Anyways, I'll have some of my friends in Panama check out their office to see if it exists.

Yes that was another reason ,Best to see if anyone has any feedback .

I got it this Morning which is Monday ,maybe they process them manually ?
Dear overunity,

It takes some minutes to receive a confirmation e-mail. We send them automatically. An e-mail with the instruction for funding your account may take a few hours to arrive (Monday-Friday).
We would like to kindly ask you for your e-mail address so we can investigate this issue.

Do not hesitate to contact us on [email protected].
They sent me payment details ,I replied to [email protected] requesting your swift/BIC to make a small transfer.
In reference to the previous post it was a request to send funds,my mistake.
They say it can takes hours to withdraw BTC ,I assume that is for large BTC withdrawals that may be handled manually ,so I will test the withdrawal of a small amount of BTC and hopefully it is quick .
May be put in the FAQ the amount of BTC at which manual transactions will occur.

I registered and the message was wait for an e-mail ,I was expecting the e-mail confirmation to be virtually instant like other sites I register at ,but after hours still no e-mail.
If it takes hours to send an e-mail I cannot imagine how long bitcoin or fiat would take .
Will see what the forum finds out before using them.

Hey All,

Look's like these guys are trying really hard to hide who they are.

Having been here a while, this raises a red flag.

See the Reddit post, some users have started to find pretty scary stuff about this company:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1y1ig3/bitcoin_exchange_hitbtc_launches_february_14th/cfgqm1s

BE CAREFUL USING THIS WEBSITE!

Hope all is well

All exchanges have a single account. Why do you require two - this is all very confusing.

Dear rezzak,

We care about the safety of your funds and the security of your transactions. This is the reason you have two accounts - the first one is for deposits and withdrawals, the second one - for transactions.

It says you got 500K euros and 50K BTC per month - does that mean you started your exchange when BTC rate was 10 bucks? ))

Dear JJKirsch,

It's most likely that you have seen this information in "Fees and Limits" section. Transaction limits are unrelated to the BTC exchange rate.
