Is there a crypto customer service phone number? Some exchanges offer phone support, but none wants you to find the number through a search engine, and the legitimate ones do not call you first.
If a stranger on the phone says they are crypto support, treat it as a scam until you have verified it from inside your own account.
The FBI’s 2025 Internet Crime Report counted 181,565 complaints involving cryptocurrency, with reported losses of more than $11 billion. Here is which exchanges really take calls, who is calling you when they do not, and the two safe ways to reach support.
Which exchanges actually have a phone line
The idea that no exchange has a phone line is wrong, and I checked the official pages on October 10, 2026. What differs is how you reach it. I have left the numbers out on purpose, because you should get them only from your logged-in account or the exchange’s own help center.
| Exchange | Phone support | Will they call you? |
|---|---|---|
| Coinbase | Yes, via a call request on its Contact Support page | Agents call back within five minutes only if a call you started drops |
| Kraken | Yes, but only through a Call us button in its mobile apps, in specific situations | Only if scheduled in advance, and you verify with a one-time code in the app |
| Binance.US | Yes, a toll-free line on weekdays, listed in its help center | No. Its help article says the team will never call you |

Kraken goes furthest. Its page says voice support cannot be reached by dialing a number directly, and that any number you find online claiming to be Kraken should be treated as a potential phishing scam.
During a call you start in the app, a banner confirms you are connected to Kraken Support, so you never have to rely on caller ID, which scammers can fake.

Who is calling you when someone claims to be crypto support
Coinbase’s help page says fake support lines pose as the company, regulators, government agencies and even law enforcement. The goal is to pressure you into moving funds, handing over a password or 2FA code, or installing software.
The script usually ends with a “safe” wallet address or a new seed phrase.
Coinbase says its agents will never ask you to move funds, share a seed phrase, or give a password or verification code. If you want to know why a seed phrase must stay private, read what a seed phrase is and why losing it costs you everything.
Knowing your name or email does not make a caller real. Coinbase notes that scammers often hold details from data breaches unrelated to the exchange. Even the real caller ID can be faked, which is why Coinbase says to hang up and call back yourself.
How fake support numbers reach you in the first place
Coinbase warned as far back as 2018 that scammers post phone numbers on message boards and buy ads to push their number up in search results. The tactic has not gone away, and the same trap shows up in forums, as covered in how to tell a real Bitcoin forum from a scam community.
Chat apps add another route. Scams that begin in a Telegram message lean on the same urgency, as laid out in this breakdown of a Telegram crypto scam.
The two verified ways to reach crypto support
- Open the exchange’s app or type its address yourself, sign in, and use the Support tab or the Contact page. Bookmark that page so you never search for it again.
- Use the chat or email options listed there. Coinbase publishes [email protected] for suspected scams, and Kraken points users to live chat if a call cannot be verified.
My rule: if you did not start the conversation from inside your account, the other side is not support. Hang up, lock the account if you gave anything away, and report the call at ic3.gov.
Is there a Coinbase customer service phone number?
Coinbase says it offers phone support through a call request on its Contact Support page. Get that route from the site itself, because Coinbase warns that numbers found online by search are a common scam vector.
Can crypto customer service call me first?
Treat any unsolicited call as fake. Coinbase’s phone-scam guidance says its support does not make outgoing calls, and Binance.US says its team will never call you. Kraken only calls after scheduling it with you and verifying in its app.
What should I do if I already gave a caller my details?
Lock your exchange account, change your passwords and 2FA, and report it to Coinbase or your exchange and to the FBI at ic3.gov. Move no funds on anyone’s instruction.
