Simplecoin

Simplecoin is the service name; the company you deal with is Simple Coin s.r.o., registration number 01516558. The European supervisory authority ESMA lists it with an authorization notification dated 23 June 2026. The entry covers custody, exchanging crypto-assets for money, exchanging between crypto-assets and transfers. It helps identify which company is authorized to provide these services under the European MiCA rules. It does not tell you what price you will later get for your bitcoin, or promise that every order will be handled without error. The provider’s authorization and the risk of the asset you buy are separate matters. [1] [2]

The terms effective from 23 June 2026 require registration and customer verification. Entering a bitcoin address is therefore only part of the process: the provider also needs to establish who it is dealing with. Verification levels depend on volume over the previous 30 days. Purchases, sales and deposits into Wallet count; its internal exchanges do not. The second level applies from 10,000 EUR, while assessed risk can trigger more thorough checks earlier. In practice, the size of your latest order alone may not determine the whole procedure. An old guide describing purchases without registration may therefore no longer reflect the rules. [3]

Imagine ordering bitcoin in Exchange and receiving an email with bank payment instructions. That initial order acknowledgement starts the process. Under the terms, the contract forms when the order is accepted by email after payment has been credited. The quoted rate depends on the money arriving on time; a late payment can lead to a new rate being offered or the payment being returned. It helps to distinguish money sent, an order accepted and bitcoin actually sent out. Cancelling before payment is credited is also different from undoing a completed trade. Even without a cancellation fee, actual bank or network costs can remain. [3]

In Wallet, you trade using a balance held with the provider. Before confirming, you see the rate and fee; the quote refreshes every 30 seconds. If you have enough balance, confirmation forms the contract and triggers internal settlement, meaning the service updates its account records. A record and email follow. For example, exchanging money for bitcoin changes the figures in your account without necessarily transferring anything to your own wallet. That requires a separate withdrawal. A successful trade in Wallet and receipt at your own bitcoin address are therefore two distinct events to check. [3]

Recurring purchases can save you from entering each trade separately. The described process starts with activation and a first purchase; subsequent payments of the same amount are treated as repeat orders. The rate at the time the money is credited applies, so the same payment may buy a different quantity of bitcoin each time. The cryptocurrency address from the first purchase is used again. A bank standing order therefore sets a payment schedule, not a future price. Nor does this process automatically create a new receiving address for every purchase. You still need control of the original address and the way its wallet is managed. [3]

Wallet holds assets in the provider’s custody. An account password gives access to the customer account; a private key, by contrast, authorizes a Bitcoin transaction. Account access alone therefore does not give independent control of those keys. To manage the bitcoin yourself, you withdraw it to a wallet whose keys you control. External withdrawals undergo risk checks and may require manual approval, so submitting a request is not the same as receiving a payment. The provider’s checks also do not replace your own checks of the recipient’s address, the correct network and the stated fee. They may identify certain risks, but cannot know your intention or guarantee that you chose the right recipient. [3] [4]

A price drop is the most visible risk, but not the only one. The risk appendix also describes counterparty failure, meaning failure by a company whose performance you depend on, and lack of liquidity: you may be unable to sell in time or at the expected price. Delays and losses can result. Crypto-assets are not insured bank deposits, and past returns do not promise future ones. Account security also deserves a practical explanation. Two-factor authentication, or 2FA, adds another verification step to your password. A fake website can nevertheless trick you into entering that information too. This theft of login information is called phishing; simply enabling 2FA does not provide complete protection against it. [4]

It helps to identify which step failed. Keep the order, proof of bank payment and, if available, the Bitcoin transaction identifier used to look up the transfer. You can submit a complaint free of charge to info@simplecoin.eu, describing the situation and the remedy you want. The appendix provides for handling it within 30 days; if that cannot be met, it calls for notice and an explanation of the longer period. The provider must retain complaint documentation for at least 5 years. A complaint can address a service error, but filing one does not itself reverse a completed Bitcoin transaction. Checks before sending and evidence afterwards each have their place. [5]
