Ironically, there are other exchanges which do not remain conducive to the consumers; this exchange is “Zaif”. Zaif has decided to remove its services which were being provided through the medium of smart phone as well as Iphones. Even though wallet services would be provided, the similar thing cannot be said about the availability of the various exchange services through the means of phones.
