BitBay is a trading platform based in Poland. They provide multiple services including issuing a MasterCard which allows you to spend Bitcoin anywhere and withdraw cash at ATM's in Poland and abroad. It is a smaller exchange with less liquidity and volume than some of the bigger ones, but makes up for it in the variety of its services.
BitBay is best suited to Polish customers since some of their features are available only for Polish citizens. The UX design of this platform is very sleek and modern, the order book buttons are easily visible in the platform and the categories menu is very well delimited, allowing users an easy navigation through the options.

BitBay was founded in Poland by Sylwester Suszek, who, according to the company's website, has a lot of experience in finance. BitBay runs 3 offices in Poland, Netherlands, and, with a recent expansion in India, in New Delhi. This platform is the largest in Poland by trade volume. Except for some minor bugs the overall reputation of this platform is positive.
Summary:
Bitbay is a smaller platform with limited functionality for non-Polish users, but it has a lot of potential to become an important player among cryptocurrency exchanges. Acquiring more proof of legal compliance and a more transparent vision regarding its security and coin storage could increase volume and make BitBay a little more appealing to international customers.
