Coinberry customer support

Coinberry has limited customer support options that its users can take advantage of. The first place that users should look if they are experiencing issues is the Coinberry help center. This is a page that has an extensive list of FAQs and solutions. If the issue is not listed in this section, there is a contact form at the bottom where you can go into specific detail about the issue. This form will be sent off to the Coinberry customer support staff where it will be reviewed and you will be contacted back with a solution. This form is the best method for users struggling with the registration process who don’t yet have an account.
