My mom deposited $5,000 over international wire on that Friday when Bitstamp had their issue (November 15th). They kept asking for more proof of ID, which she sent in, and at this point just reply a few days after she asks, only to tell her that they will notify her by e-mail as soon as her transfer is located and her fund balance is credited. (Ticket #32798). It has been almost 4 weeks now. So, Bitstamp, despite claims on their website, has not caught up with their deposits yet, and we have no idea what to do any more. Just sit and wait, and wait, and wait a few more weeks?

What can I say - Bitstamp is solid.
I've requested a bit larger SEPA withdrawal yesterday night. Was expecting several days for them to confirm, but bam, it's already done today EOB. Always less than one day. Cannot give enough credit to these people, big respect.

And in the meantime in Gox'land: they've forced triggered my verification, simply because I've logged from my office IP from different region. I cannot even move my BTC untill verification is completed, what's already taking two weeks. Once this is done - I will run away from Gox like hell.

Thanks for the info. She mentioned that the receiving bank was in Slovenia, but that may have been what they read in Bitstamp's wire form, not where the bank eventually sent it.

If I remember correctly, Creditanstalt was fused into Unicredit few years ago. Maybe that's the cause of this collision.

You're right, that is ridiculous, especially since you're verified.


Oh wait, you're not.


*yawn*

Why wouldn't it be safe?
The last place in the exchange business, huh?

Bitstamp is the only port I've beeb using for eur-btc trafic - never had any problems, maybe half a dozen times done business with them. Can recommend, for my part.

Bitstamp works fine and is security? I need to buy biitcoins but I lost mutch money in mtgox ;/

How long does Bitstamp support usually take to respond to tickets?
