I've been using the Coinbase wallet for awhile now, it seems very safe so far with 2fa and a good password.
As for linking your bank account i wouldn't know, they haven't added Australia yet so you can buy coins.
Price always seem a little high so i would prefer to buy coins from trusted members i know from this forum.
If you plan to gamble then don't use a Coinbase wallet or they will ban you.

Thanx for the info. I know no matter what its not a good idea to keep larger amounts on ANY online wallet. But its good that their wallet is secure. I have read that they have some strict policies regarding Gambling. |

The exchange is still closed to customers outside the US, so I don't know about that. But many people have their banks connected with Coinbase and seem to be pretty happy with it (privacy/security concerns apart).

I hope they would open to other parts of the world. Being from the U.S. myself I see why they have restrictions...Many of those here in the land of the free. I'd like to find some Actual user feedback from U.S. users about the bank account link security. Thanx for your input. |

Advice for noobs: Put your bitcoins in a local wallet as soon as you get them, do not leave them at any exchange no matter how safe they announce to be.

Haven't had any issues with Coinbase so far and have had my bank account attached. Heard some horror stories but no personal experiences to relate.

Coinbase was the first wallet I set up, and I still actively use it, and have my account linked. I have no complaints, and the new $USD feature is nice.

I have used coinbase to buy many thousands of dollars worth of bitcoins (all spent now) and I have had no troubles. Some people have reported that Coinbase had cancelled their orders, but that never happened me.

No problems from Coinbase here. Bought hundreds(thousands maybe?) worth of Bitcoin transactions. No problems setting up 2FA, setting up Bank account by confirming the dust transactions, setting up instant buys by adding Credit card, or levelling up to Tier 2 for larger buy amounts. Coinbase fee is pretty fair, 1% + $0.15 ACH fee for each transaction: https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/585625-what-is-coinbase-and-how-much-does-it-cost-to-use-* User is responsible for miner's fee on external transactions less than 0.001 BTC. Sending between Coinbase users is always free.
** For US Customers, orders less than $15 are charged a flat fee of $0.15. For European customers, there is a bank fee of €0,15 for withdrawals. |

I share this same idea. I can't say that I have had any problems with Coinbase, neither have a heard of anyone with a problem.

Make sure you secure the wallet too with a tough passphrase! |

I use coinbase, and it works fine.
But, as stated above, do not leave your bitcoins in the exchange. People lose money when exchanges go under. Look at mintpal, and many others...

1) hadn't have issues with coinbase
2) fees are high
3) I wouldn't trust any exchangers right now to store my coins

Coinbase likely wont steal your btc. I would not use Coinbase though, they been locking people's accounts and asking private questions that they do not need to know. Just use Electrum or some kind of cold storage.
