It is Kraken - I downloaded the APP and it seems like the gen app and I have also been asked for card reader details on Coinbase which I have been a member of for a couple of years

---

Charles-Tim & dkbit98 - I owe you both an apology. The card reader is on my bank account and it is only for higher amounts. Sorry to have wasted your time - I am slowly learning. Brgds

I have recently joined an exchange and linked it to my bank account. When I tried to deposit some money from my account it asks me to enter details into a card reader. I don't understand this. Why would I need to use a card if the money is being transferred directly from my account to the exchange? Thanks for any guidance

Thank you for all the kind replies. Actually I (plus many others) was the victim of a huge data breach a little while back from my pension provider. What concerned me about this e mail was that whoever it was seemed to have inside knowledge about the state of my account and the e mail did not go into SPAM.
But many thanks again to everyone and Nwada001 - you are v observant - I didn't realise I had posted before lol
This is what the e mail said if anyone is interested - the sense of urgency at the bottom is another giveaway:

Coinbase has been required to migrate over to self custodial wallets as of 05/06/2024. To provide some clarity on this situation, a class action lawsuit was recently filed by a serial crypto litigator on behalf of its customers alleging Coinbase sells unregistered securities and operates as an unlicensed broker/dealer. We have come to an agreement that allowing users to be in charge of their own wallets is in the best interest of both parties, and will allow Coinbase to operate as a registered broker. You will still be able to purchase crypto currency through Coinbase, but all assets must be transferred over to Coinbase Wallet.

Hello this is my 1st post here. I am fairly new to BTC and have dabbled a little and have an account with Coinbase. I made a small amount of profit and it is held in cash in my coinbase account ATM. This morning I received an e mail from Coinbase telling me I had to immediately move it into an online wallet and gave a link. It all looked v legit until I looked at the e mail address - events@byhealthmeans.com needless to say I won't be transferring the funds but has anyone else had such an e mail from this address before? It was far more professional than other phishing e mails I have had.

Hello everyone - I am new to this and have only just started buying my first coins. I wanted to ask: How can I buy a full ethereum coin on the coinbase exchange without having to put the price in which seems to change by the minute? I bought one which ended up with 0.97% of the coin. There was a fee but it seems to me the problem is having to physically put the amount in rather than pressing a box that says something like "purchase one full ethereum"?
Thanks
