HitBTC has good security features like 2-factor authentication and IP access lists. However, users express doubts because the company's location is unknown and there are no official documents. Withdrawals have been halted for some currencies multiple times. This has led users to worry about the safety of the exchange. They also had a hack in 2015, but didn't provide much information about it.

One of the biggest issues with HitBTC is that we don't know where the company behind the exchange is located and who runs it. There is conflicting information online claiming it is either in the UK, Estonia, Hong Kong, or Panama. The website doesn't explicitly answer this, but it says the company was founded with a 6 million Euro venture capital investment.
Summary:
The HitBTC platform is indeed quite advanced technically and looks like a trustworthy service at first glance, but there is so much talk about users having bad experiences and not receiving the help they need from the service that it is hard not to be suspicious even if some of those negative reviews might be fake or exaggerated. There is no transparency about the company's origins.
Deposit/Withdrawal Options:
Deposit from bank account, Deposit using 3rd party, Withdrawl funds to bank account, Send/Receive Crypto
Functionality:
HitBTC has a variety of order types and currencies and a trading demo (in maintenance). However, there are many complaints about their services, with users claiming they lost money on HitBTC. There are even rumors of it being a scam, but it is more likely that the team couldn't keep up with the number of users and transactions. New users should read the latest forum discussions before trading.
Most common
customer complaint:
bad customer service, funds lost, withdrawals blocked, information about the company unavailable, some say large trading volumes are artificially increased
