    As someone who has integrated to over 20 crypto exchanges via their APIs, I can say Independent Reserve has the best API documentation by far.

    Their customer support is also excellent which is something most exchanges sadly lack these days.

    I organise and host blockchain meetups and conferences and am always hearing very positive things when it comes to Independent Reserve which is why I always recommend them.

    They are by far the most trusted exchange in Australia for consumer trading as well as institutional investment, and offer a great 'open order book' unlike most other Australia exchanges.

    I find Independent Reserve to be one of the easiest, smoothest cryptocurrency exchanges that I use.

    The client onboarding process was simple, it is easy to deposit funds and I particularly like the transparency of market depth and speed of execution.
